The health benefits of saunas

In today's world, stress has become an increasing enigma. In order to perform to the maximum we demand a lot from our body.

Clinical studies have confirmed far-infrared radiant heat in saunas has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect. Our bodies absorb FIR because of its deep penetrating ability, when this happens it transforms light energy into heat energy promoting many health benefits, these include;


Deep Detox

The beneficial heat of our saunas enhance the bodies natural detoxification process, heat causes capillaries to dilate, increasing blood flow and circulation causing our bodies to flush out waste products from the liver, stomach, muscles, brain and kidneys, then filter the waster in the form of sweat and urine.

Symptoms of overload can include fatigue, headaches, joint or muscle pain, frequent colds and flu’s, allergies, skin conditions, anxiety, chronic fatigue, allergies, acne, burning skin, brain fog, chemical sensitivities, depression, eczema, frequent colds or flu, loss of dexterity, low body temperature, memory loss, mood swings, muscle and joint pains and poor concentration.

Infrared saunas help blood circulation There is a direct correlation between external pollution and the internal pollution of the human body. External toxicity of food, air and water always cause internal toxicity of blood, tissues and cellular fluids.

These toxic conditions become the breeding grounds for disease and degeneration.

The only real way to cure any chronic disease or degenerative condition is to eliminate the root cause by ridding the body of toxins that pollute the blood and tissues, attract germs and weaken resistance and immunity.

Saunas with Far Infrared heat causes these toxins to be released from cells. The toxic molecules will then reside transiently in the lymph fluid. Since sweat is manufactured from the lymph fluid. Toxins present in the lymph fluid will exit the body through the sweat. The liver and kidneys are not required for this.

Health practitioners worldwide recognize Far Infrared Saunas as the most effective method of removing both heavy metal toxins from the body and chemicals from our bodies. The combination of “resonant absorption” and low heat makes this detox method of choice for chronically ill patients as well as those that are well and wish to stay that way by reducing their ‘toxic burden’.
