Feeling stressed this holiday season? Losing sleep? Are you feeling not quite right? Infrared Sauna (IR) may be a treatment that is right for you to incorporate into your health and wellness program.
With the use of infrared light and the elevated heat, the body is able to activate several key systems of the body. Some of the widely seen responses are the following:
- Stress reduction
- Muscle alleviation/Uptake in exercise results-The increased blood flow helps aching and injured muscles recover faster because of the stronger blood flow and the quicker metabolic and toxic waste productions purged from the body through the skin during perspiration. Sweating during exercise is not nearly as effective for detoxification because exercise activates the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nervous activity inhibits toxin elimination.
- Immune strengthening- The sweating process gently and safely helps eliminate all heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Medical studies demonstrate that most toxins can be eliminated through the skin, relieving the burden on the kidneys and liver
- Better sleep
- Brighter skin– IR Sauna allows increased blood circulation to carry great amounts of nutrients to the skin, thus promoting healthy tone, texture and mild cleansing of the skin. Skin rejuvenation. The skin is the largest organ of the body and a major eliminative channel. In most people, it is inactive, congested and toxic. Sun exposure. Use of synthetic clothing that does not breathe damages the skin. Hundreds of chemicals affect the skin, from lotions and soaps to deodorants. Cleaning solvents, detergent residues and chemicals from bathing water also affect the skin, Repeated use of the sauna slowly restores skin elimination. Excessive sympathetic nervous system activity and emotions such as fear, anger and guilt cause blood to be withdrawn from the skin, contributing to inactivity of the skin.
- Saunas enhance circulation and oxygenate– the tissues. Energy production increases, facilitating healing. Heating the tissues speeds up metabolism. Cells are more able to eliminate toxins.
- Incorporating Himalayan salt slabs to the sauna– adds an additional layer to detoxing, the chunks of salt produce negative IONs which balance Electromagnetic Radiation. Salt is great for cleansing, deodorizing and purifying the air in the sauna. Additionally it calms allergies, raises energy level all while sweating your booty off!!
- Weight loss– by speeding metabolic processes of vital organs and endocrine glands resulting in a substantial caloric loss in a IR Sauna session. Weight loss can come through the energy use needed to produce sweating. Direct excretion of fat Burns calories Increases metabolism and burns cellulite (a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes, which are trapped in pockets below the skin)
What are the differences between infrared and wet saunas?
Where the wet sauna uses moisture to transmit the heat to the user on a surface level, infrared utilizes panels that direct the heat and is able to penetrate deep into the tissue. The penetrability ability of the infrared allows the beneficial beams to reach users even in instances where they are wearing clothes. Counter to this, wet saunas require the user to wear a minimal amount of clothing for its full potential to be met.
Results are much better when saunas are part of an integrated program. Add to your diet extra sea salt or kelp granules to replace minerals lost through sweating. Eat natural foods grown on mineral-rich soil. Rest and sleep enough, and exercise a little each day. Breathe deeply clean, fresh air. Reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals. Create and maintain a positive environment. Stay happy and bright regardless of what others may say or do.
Always consult with your physician before using the Sauna Heat Therapy!
