Turn-On the Infrared Sauna

Saunas have been used for many, many years to improve mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well being.  Today there are several studies confirming the various health benefits.
Many of the new integrated medical clinics are including infrared sauna sessions as part of their therapeutic treatments.

Infrared saunas offer numerous advantages over the older conventional style of saunas. The older styles had to be at a much higher temperature before a person would sweat often making it uncomfortable.  The best infrared saunas use ceramic heaters.  This infrared heat can penetrate deep into the skin 1-2 inches providing a gentle warming using a comfortable temperature between 38 to 65Cellius.

Some of the many health benefits include:

• Assisting weight loss and increasing metabolism (burn up to 600 calories in half hour)
• Improves circulation
• Promotes detoxification of the heavy metals and organic chemicals stored in fat cells
• Boost immune system to aid in fighting bacteria and viruses
• Increased pain relief
• Helps muscles relax due to increased circulation and the heat
• Accelerates the breakdown of fat and cellulite
• Improves skin conditions, promoting pore cleansing, and healing things like acne and eczema
• Reduces stress and fatigue, stimulating energy, providing a sense of well-being
• Assists people with Seasonal Affective Disorder, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, allergies and cancer

For people who are on a weight loss program or those wanting to detoxify will find that having regular sauna sessions will benefit greatly.  Infrared sauna stimulates lymph flow and enhances sweating eliminating 5-6 times more toxins, fat and other impurities including things like cholesterol, heavy metals and pesticides.
