Infrared Sauna

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 the elimination of about seven times more toxins – leaving the body fully refreshed and rejuvenated after each session.

Studies have shown that an infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories. As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories

A fever is the body’s natural mechanism for strengthening and accelerating immune response, as seen in the case of infection. This enhanced immune response, combined with improved elimination of toxins and wastes via intense sweating, increases overall health and resistance to disease.

Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. For those who suffer from muscle aches or joint pain, infrared saunas can relieve this form of inflammation by increasing circulation and relaxing muscles.

The near infrared wavelength (sometimes referred to as Red Light Therapy) is the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Near infrared treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.

Infrared sauna helps to balance the level of cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. The heat generated by the sauna will also help to relax muscles and relieve tension throughout the body, lowering levels of stress.
