Infrared saunas are ideal for relaxing after a hard day, but did you know that they also have great natural health benefits as well? The infrared light turns the relaxing sauna into a powerful anti-aging, pain therapy, and weight loss tool. Because infared light actually penetrates skin tissues, it stimulates healing at the cellular level. Discover the many benefits of an infrared sauna and open the door to natural healing and enhanced wellness.

Immune System Booster

The infrared light encourages the body to increase production of white blood cells as well as induce sweating, which removes toxins from the system. This causes the immune system to get stronger, making you more resistant to colds, flu, bacterial infections, sinuses, and even allergies.

Cellular Health

During near infrared therapy, the circulatory system is stimulated. This increases the oxygenation of the cells within the body meaning that toxins are more efficiently expelled through the surface of the skin. This results in faster muscle recovery and better cell health.

Detoxification

The body naturally rids itself of toxins through sweating. Infrared light heats the body directly, raising its core temperature. This causes a deeper, more thorough detoxifying sweat that happens at the cellular level due to the increased circulation.

Weight Loss

As the body heats up it must work to cool itself. Studies show that a single infrared sauna session can burn 600 calories or even more. It’s like doing cardio while you relax and let the stress melt away.

Better Circulation

When the body’s muscles are heated using infrared rays, blood flow is increased. In fact, it increases in much the same way that it does when the body is exercising. Regular infrared therapy can stimulate your blood flow significantly.

Wound Healing

Infrared therapy has been shown to decrease the skin’s healing time. It promotes human tissue growth and increased cell regeneration which results in faster tissue repair meaning that wounds heal more quickly.

Decrease Blood Pressure

As the infrared therapy stimulates blood flow, the heart must pump faster. This improves circulation, but it also lowers blood pressure. This benefit can be achieved by using the sauna just two or three times a week.

Fibromyalgia

The pain of Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is well documented, but relief is not always easy to achieve. Because FMS attacks the fibrous tissues of the body including the tendons and muscles, patients experience pain throughout the body. Infrared therapy has been used to successfully treat pain from FMS, giving suffering patients great relief.

The heat of an infrared sauna differs from that of a traditional sauna. The infrared sauna produces a soothing, gentle heat that is therapeutic. It has been shown to improve sleep, reduce stress, and increase relaxation, leaving you feeling refreshed and less stressed.

Anti-Aging

Near infrared therapy stimulates the production of collagen which improves skin tone as well as reduces wrinkles. It also increases circulation, which gives the skin a healthy glow. It is very healing for not only the epidermis, but also the dermis, reducing scars, uneven coloring, and healing the skin at the cellular level.

Pain Relief

Infrared heat is often used as a powerful pain management tool to treat chronic pain, as well as minor aches and pains. It helps to decrease muscle spasms and enhance recovery because it penetrates the tissue, muscles, and joints, as well as promotes relaxation and increased circulation.

Cancer Therapy

Infrared therapy has been used as a powerful weapon against cancer cell growth for more than two decades. Doctors the world over have employed this effective cancer treatment due to its many immunity boosting properties, including the increased production of interferon, T-cells, and white blood cells.

 

If you want a natural, safe, whole body wellness treatment that you can do right in your own home or at the gym, then an infrared sauna is just what you need. Enjoy the many healing properties of this incredible natural healing therapy and discover your best health.
