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 Excessive sympathetic nervous system activity and emotions such as fear, anger and guilt cause blood to be withdrawn from the skin, contributing to inactivity of the skin.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.
- 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)
