Infrared Sauna session

An effective tool for natural healing and detoxification of the body. $1 per minute

Overview

The skin is a major eliminative organ and sweating enhances the skin elimination process. An infrared sauna heats the body with radiant heat and profuse sweating begins quickly. The surrounding air in the sauna, however, remains comfortable and warm, resulting in a pleasant experience.Steam, hot water, and traditional saunas operate at temperatures of over 170 F, which can be difficult to tolerate for more than a few minutes. Infrared saunas remain at 145 F to 155 F, so one can spend longer periods in the healing sauna while listening to music and reading. While hot tubs are good to a point, sweating is less than in an infrared sauna and the body absorbs chemicals from the water. Everyone is exposed to heavy metals and toxic chemicals today. Regular use of an infrared sauna is an excellent way to detoxify the body. Infrared heat penetrates several inches deep into joints and muscles. This increases metabolism and allows body cells to eliminate toxins more readily in the sweat. Infrared light is completely natural and safe. Its dry, warming energy is highly compatible with human tissue. Infrared saunas provide all the benefits of natural sunlight without the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.

Benefits

Detoxification

Did you know that some doctors refer to the skin as our “third kidney” because it is such an effective tool of elimination and detoxification? Toxins become stored in fat cells, but the deep, penetrating infrared light and heat can remove potential carcinogenic heavy metals such as mercury, lead, alcohol, nicotine, sodium, and sulfuric acid, to name a few. Regular sauna use will enhance immune system responses.

Weight Control

You can burn up to 600 calories per sauna session and aid in correcting metabolic imbalances that were causing poor digestion and weight gain. Toxins stored in fat are decreased, which also makes weight loss easier. The sauna will increase your pulse and metabolic rate. Cellulite removal or reduction is also possible because fat becomes water-soluble at 110 F, releasing subcutaneous fat with every session. The sauna can become an invaluable tool for weight loss when paired with a sensible diet and exercise program!

Pain Relief

The infrared sauna can reduce pain associated with arthritis, muscle spasms, shoulder pain, neck and back pain, sprains, and reduce scar tissue adhesion.

Skin Cleansing and Rejuvenation

The sauna can open up pores, allowing for the removal of dirt, oil, and makeup. In addition, there are improvements in skin problems such as acne, rashes, burns, eczema, and psoriasis. Scars, even keloids, may be gradually softened.
