Infrared Sauna

An infrared sauna not only assists in weight loss through detoxification, but is used for pain management, skin purification, and stress reduction.

The infrared sauna surrounds the body and penetrates deeply into joints, muscles, and tissues, speeding oxygen flow and increasing circulation. Infrared saunas provide relief to patients suffering from arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and certain skins conditions.

The average person sweats out 20% toxins and 80% water in an infrared sauna. In a conventional sauna the average person sweats out 3% toxins and 97% water. This is a significant difference when detoxifying the body



Benefits include:


    1.  Increased blood circulation to help burn up to 600-700 calories in a 20 minute session
    2.  Detoxification throughdeeper sweat to cleanse your body and help prevent disease
    3.  Improved heart health with clinically tested reduction in blood pressure

The infrared sauna creates about as much sweat as a six mile run. It can improve your health by helping to excrete pesticides and heavy metals through your skin and helps to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

The atmosphere of the infrared sauna has a positive effect on the central nervous system. After the first 10 minutes of an infrared sauna session your motor response and coordination of movement greatly improves. The sharp increase of blood and lymphatic vessels leads to intense physical squeezing of subcutaneous fat deposits and fast weight loss without a load on the heart.

Sweating is the body’s safe and natural way to heal, stay healthy, and detoxification. Sweat carries toxins out of the body and pushes it through the pores. Sweating helps the body release heat and keeps your internal core temperature as consistent as needed.

A 150 pound person normally burns in 30 minutes of exercise:

Marathon running – 590 calories
Racquetball – 510 calories
Swimming – 300 calories
Jogging – 300 calories
Tennis – 265 calories
Cycling – 225 calories
Walking – 150 calories

In an infrared sauna a moderately fit person can sweat one pound of sweat in a 30 minute session, which is equivalent of running 2-3 miles. Weight loss is just one of the benefits of regular use of the Infrared Sauna.

How do they Work?

Infrared saunas have been around for years, but only recently have become popular in the United States. The Japanese have been utilizing the infrared sauna for the past century and enjoy tremendous health benefits from them.

Unlike conventional saunas which pull sweat out of the body, infrared energy penetrates up to 3 inches into the body and PUSHES sweat out of the body. As the body is heated from the inside out, it forces toxins under the skin out.

The temperature of an infrared sauna is typically between 90 and 120 degrees, whereas a traditional sauna operates between 180-220 degrees. However, in the infrared sauna with the lower temperature, you will typically perspire far more because the infrared energy penetrates your body at a much deeper level.

Fat becomes water soluble at 100F degrees which it begins to dissolve, move through the blood and finally is removed from the body, resulting in weight loss. Toxins are also eliminated through your skin using lower, comfortable temperatures, for rapid detoxification.
