Far Infrared Sauna Therapy

Infrared light is part of the sun’s invisible spectrum that has the ability to penetrate human tissue. Infrared heater technology heats the body directly, like sunbathing, but  is completely safe and will never burn your skin.

Because Far infrared saunas increase the body’s core temperature, the body rids itself of toxins through a deeper sweat. Detoxification includes the release of heavy metals such as mercury, lead and aluminum; environmental poisons such as pesticides, gasoline and industrial chemicals; and alcohol, nicotine and other drugs. Because the body sweats more at temperatures 60-80 degrees lower than conventional saunas, the detoxification is 7 to 10 times greater.

A 20-30 minute session in the Far infrared sauna burns as many calories as a six-mile run (and has the same beneficial cardiovascular effects). Medical studies on infrared have demonstrated significantly lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and increased blood flow. Far infrared saunas can also provide relief to patients suffering from arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and certain skin conditions.

Heating the body powerfully shunts blood toward the skin to dissipate heat. This decongests the internal organs and greatly stimulates circulation. Sinuses, joints, and many other tissues benefit greatly. Raising body temperatures powerfully assists the body to kill bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. Chronic infections in areas like the sinuses, eyes or bladder may clear up.

There are some individuals for whom a Far infrared sauna experience is not appropriate. Please consult our staff before scheduling an appointment.
