Infrared saunas - Excellent investment for better health

---

Saunas have provided a great method for detoxification and relaxation for many years. We live in the most toxic of times. 83,000 chemicals have been introduced into our environment since the 1930s yet only about 200 of them have been tested for human safety. We are all carrying heavy metals toxicity whether we realize it or not. It's impossible to avoid.

Are your symptoms in this list?

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional outbursts, skin problems, brain fog, low energy, memory problems, digestive problems, weight problems, high blood pressure, or even more serious problems like autoimmune disease, cardiac disease, or cancer, you may very well be carrying too many toxins in your body. Being toxic can manifest in many ways including digestive, mood balance, immunity and/or circulatory issues.

Infrared saunas provide a superior method of eliminating toxins from the body. The sweat produced in an infrared sauna is 7 times more detoxifying than a traditional sauna.  Studies have shown that repeated infrared sauna treatments lower blood pressure¹ and improve impaired blood vessel functions in patients with high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. This suggests a preventive role for infrared sauna use for arteriosclerosis.²

Why are infrared saunas better than traditional saunas?

Infrared saunas differ than traditional saunas in several key ways which make them a better choice cost-wise, and a superior choice when it comes to health benefits. One of the main differences between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna is the heat involved while inside the unit. Infrared saunas achieve the same benefits (and more) at much lower operating temperature. The temperature for a traditional sauna typically ranges between 150 and 195º F which can overwhelm those who are more sensitive to heat. Infrared saunas use a much milder temperature environment of between 120 to 140 degrees F. With the infrared technology, you will feel hot and you will sweat profusely, but at a much lower temperature.

Traditional saunas require more power to run than an infrared sauna, costing almost three times as much to run. This can make a huge difference, depending on how often you use the unit. In a traditional dry sauna, the temperature of the air increases around you, and causes the temperature of your body to increase as well due to absorption by heat convection. This causes your body to start the cooling process by transporting blood closer to the surface of the skin and opening pores through sweating.

Infrared saunas also heat the surrounding air but to a lesser degree. Instead, infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit a specific wavelength of infrared light. Your skin absorbs this wavelength, causing your body's temperature to rise. This elicits the same effects as a traditional sauna with less overall heat needed.

Benefits of far infrared saunas

1. Detoxification
Sweating is one of the body’s most natural ways to eliminate toxins, making it a crucial part of detoxification. When compared to traditional Swedish saunas, infrared saunas allow you to eliminate about seven times more toxins.

2. Relaxation
The heat generated by the sauna will also help to relax muscles and relieve tension throughout the body, allowing you to relax and de-stress.

3. Pain Relief
Infrared saunas can relieve inflammation that causes muscle aches or joint pain by increasing circulation and relaxing your muscles.

4. Weight Loss
The heat generated by an infrared sauna will cause your core temperature to increase, which can also lead to an increased heart rate; the same increase in heart rate that you experience when exercising. When your body has to work harder to lower your core temperature or keep up with an increased heart rate, your body will burn more calories, resulting in weight loss. The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that a 30-minute infrared sauna session can burn roughly 600 calories.

5. Improved Circulation
As the heat from infrared saunas increases your core body temperature, your circulation will increase along with it. Consistent infrared sauna sessions, especially in the middle-infrared level, can stimulate blood flow, improve muscle recovery, and decrease pain and inflammation after intense exercise.

6. Skin Purification
Infrared sauna technology can help purify your skin by eliminating toxins from your pores and increasing circulation, resulting in clearer, softer, and healthier-looking skin.

7. Low Maintenance
One last benefit to infrared saunas is that they come primarily as pre-fabricated panels that snap together. They are a breeze to assemble.They are easy to move and reassemble in a different place, unlike large bulky traditional saunas that require special electrical work or a new gas line depending on the type. Far infrared saunas plug into a regular outlet.

Click here on on the image below to see the sauna that I have at home. i paid $187 for it and I've had it for about 4 years with no problems. It is reliable and effective. There are better models that are more expensive. I tried one at a health expo that cost $1000.00 and it was bigger and seemed more nicely built but over-priced in my opinion. My sauna fits nicely in my bedroom and I'm perfectly happy with it. The chair is small but with a towel draped over it, it's quite comfy.
