The Benefits of FAR Infrared Sauna

Infrared saunas are an effective tool for natural healing, prevention and weight loss. Infrared light has the ability to penetrate human tissue which in turn produces a host of anti-aging and health benefits making infrared saunas one of the "hottest" home therapies for overall healthier living. If you want to get yourself back into balance, an infrared sauna may be the ticket to achieving your wellness goals.

Detoxification

Sweating is the body's safe and natural way to heal & stay healthy. Far infrared sauna benefits the body by heating it directly causing a rise in core temperature resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside.

Weight Loss

An infrared sauna is an unsurpassed expeller of toxins so it is an excellent way to get rid of any fat our bodies are utilizing to dilute toxins that we are storing. Our bodies use fat to dilute toxins. If we remove the toxins, we don't need the fat to harbor it.

Relaxation

Unlike traditional saunas which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep. Infrared sauna benefits include therapy that helps you relax while receiving an invigorating deep tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session.

Lower Blood Pressure

Infrared saunas induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation. Scientific evidence shows the infrared sauna benefits using an infrared sauna a couple times a week lowers blood pressure. 

Anti-Aging & Skin Purification

Infrared saunas are very effective healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. It can stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone. If no other reason resonates with you ladies, this is a good one!

Cell Health

Infrared therapy stimulates the circulatory system and more fully oxygenate the body's cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin's surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system.

What is Infrared Technology?

Far Infrared light/heat is generated by the sun. It is a bandwidth of invisible sunlight. Even though this bandwidth of light is not detectable to our eyes, our bodies feel the warming sensation.  It is like sitting in a car on a chilly day and feeling the sunlight warm your body as it comes through the car windows.  In fact, you can experience Far Infrared Sauna heat for hours and it will never damage your skin or harm your body. No oils or lotions are needed. Far Infrared energy heats your body by direct, molecular excitation, without heating the air. Far Infrared light rays penetrate your body's tissue much deeper than near infrared rays do. As your body absorbs Far Infrared heat waves, it encourages the transfer of water across cellular membranes.

Once the cellular membranes are hydrated, your blood flow is enhanced, which produces an assortment of biologically beneficial body healing functions. The most notable characteristic of Far Infrared heat is its exceptional ability to penetrate far below superficial skin layers.  When this phenomenon occurs, it creates a natural harmonic resonance within your body at the cellular level, which has numerous advantageous properties. * (Resonant Absorption)* 

Infrared energy is measured in wavelengths as microns, and the human body can best absorb infrared energy in the 3- to 50-micron range-with the best absorption occurring at 9.4 microns (the same wavelength as the human body at rest). These infrared wavelengths penetrate deep into the body where they gently elevate the body's core temperature and assist in expanding capillaries, which stimulates blood circulation and delivers healing oxygen. By using an infrared sauna to elevate the sub-surface tissue temperature, a series of physical and chemical changes occur within the body that are most beneficial for human health. 

Weight Loss from Infrared Sauna:

Saunas provide an inexpensive, relaxing, and healing, weight loss alternative. It is obvious that more people today are taking health seriously.  It is also obvious that people in the United States are at their heaviest weight, leading to key health problems such as heart attacks, diabetes, strokes, and much more. Look around-the market is inundated with gimmicks for losing unwanted weight, including "sensational" diet pills, machines that can take it off before you know it, and one diet craze after another.

In actuality, losing weight and regaining your health takes a real common sense approach. This includes eating a well-balanced diet, daily exercise, drinking plenty of clean water (3-5 liters a day), and detoxifying the body of toxins and unhealthy chemicals. One of the paramount ways you can improve your overall health and lose weight at the same time is by making an infrared sauna part of your daily life. It is not just another gimmick-it is a way to transform your health and life forever. 

Note: the body will produce up to three times more sweat volume with far infrared sauna than with a steam or hot rock sauna. You will lose water weight right away-but you will not regain the calories lost.  

During a 30-40 minute session in an infrared sauna, you can burn up to 600+ calories.  

Infrared saunas will help you lose weight. In a two-week study of twenty-five obese adults, body weight and body fat were reduced after daily infrared sauna treatments of 15 minutes. Interestingly, the researchers who conducted the study reported on one obese patient who couldn't exercise due to arthritis in the knee yet lost 17.5 kg, and decreased body fat from 46 to 35 percent after 10 weeks of sauna therapy.

We know you want to lose weight right away, but if you want to lose fat and keep it off permanently, you will have to be patient. It would be safe to say that losing two pounds of fat (it does not need to be weight) each week is a noteworthy achievement. Losing weight is not that difficult.  Sit and relax in a sauna for two to four hours per week, and you'll find out what we mean. Some weight loss experts think that our bodies use fat to dilute toxins. An infrared sauna is an unsurpassed expeller of toxins so it is an excellent way to get rid of any fat our bodies are utilizing to dilute toxins that we are storing. 

Far Infrared Saunas & Troublesome Cellulite:

That ugly stuff that is made up of fat, water, cellular waste and various toxins and is trapped in pockets underneath the skin is called cellulite, and oddly enough only women seem to be afflicted with it. An infrared sauna will help with this condition by generating profuse sweating, which helps clear the area of unwanted toxins and fatty particles.

Exercise definitely improves blood circulation in the skin and using the infrared sauna after your exercise program will just speed up the elimination of toxins, burn calories and reach twice the depth of heat penetration into cellulite. In addition to using the infrared sauna, here are a few more tips that will help in the eradication of those ugly dimpling, orange peel or cottage cheese looking afflictions. 

o Vigorous exercise, in particular of the muscles in the area of the butt and thighs, such as the gluteus maximus, quadriceps, etc. 

o Eating properly balanced diet is extremely successful in clearing toxins and fatty tissue from your body that can cause cellulite. 

o Massage your fatty areas while enjoying your infrared sauna session. This exercise has been proven to improve fatty tissue breakdown and enhance the fatty tissue elimination process, helping to clear up cellulite afflicted areas of your body. 

o Drinking clean, pure water also assists with the eradication and cleansing of your system from cellulite.
