Health Benefits
Far infrared sauna therapy is now being used as one of the main adjunctive therapies at many healing retreats and detoxification centers around the world. Patients and clients report that using the far infrared sauna is easy, non-invasive and that the experience of using an infrared sauna just feels good, like going to a high-end spa. By heating the body directly with far infrared heat, toxins are mobilized from the fat cells, where they are stored. The infrared sauna increases circulation which, in turn, aids in the final elimination of these chemicals through perspiration and the three other organs of elimination.
Today, unfortunately, we do not perspire the way that our ancestors did. Their lifestyles could be very rugged and required strenuous daily tasks just to stay alive. Our bodies were designed to sweat a good amount each and every day in order to maintain good health. Adding to that fact, we are now exposed to 80,000 chemicals that our great-grandparents never were. The toxins that we are exposed to each day come from the air, water, food, cosmetic products we may use and even our clothing and bedding. When these chemicals are held in our body they build up to what is called a "toxic burden" which can actually cause a disease and a shorter lifespan.
Flexibility and Posture
Over time, and as we age, our bodies have a tendency to contract which can make even simple tasks seem difficult. A tight body may have to bend in strange contorted ways just to pick up an object. Poor posture caused from inflexibility can increase the chances for an injury to arise or even cause a fall from poor gait. Stiff muscles tend to weaken and such negatively effects our bones and joints, hence they fully rely on the support of our muscle tissue.
The infrared sauna can be an easy and effective way to improve flexibility and promote a healthy lifestyle. Experience this for yourself.
Heart Health
Recent studies have shown a connection with regular infrared sauna usage and increased heart health. Clinical research demonstrates significant benefits:
- ✓ Improved endothelial function in patients with risk factors
- ✓ Reduced blood pressure and better circulation
- ✓ Enhanced exercise tolerance
- ✓ Decreased risk of cardiovascular conditions
From a preventative point of view, using far infrared sauna therapy can be a pro-active, safe and enjoyable way to decrease risk factors for stroke, heart attack and atherosclerosis.
Immune System
When our adrenal and immune systems are worn down we become more susceptible to cold, flu, infections and other dis-eases. The soothing heat that surrounds you in the far infrared sauna allows a deep relaxed state while stress levels decrease. You can literally reset the ratio of stress/relaxation in your life.
The blood vessels open; (vasodilation), the heart rate increases; (passive cardio), muscles relax, pain is reduced as endorphins are released. Regular far infrared sauna therapy promotes a normalizing of the body's hormones through this effect on the autonomic nervous system.
Breathing Comfort
Many people have difficulty breath in a traditional box of rocks sauna where the air routinely goes above 200 degrees Fahrenheit. By contrast, the Infrared Sauna heats the body directly, while the air remains comfortable to breathe. This is because infrared heats the body directly, while passing through the air.
Infrared offers tremendous energy and time savings and as a bonus, the infrared sauna is ready to use in about fifteen minutes versus the normal one hour wait time for the Traditional sauna.
Athletic Recovery
Far Infrared Saunas have gained tremendous respect among athletes of all levels. Our advanced therapy offers:
- ✓ Enhanced healing of injuries and joint pain
- ✓ Improved blood flow and tissue regeneration
- ✓ Faster muscle recovery and reduced soreness
- ✓ Better overall physical performance
The deep heat of far infrared sauna therapy helps blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles, so they recover faster.
Skin Health
Think of it as a first-line of defense. Our skin comes first in contact with, cold, heat, chemicals. It absorbs first hand all that is exposed to through its pores. Adult human carries almost 8 lbs of skin; that is a heavy and large amount of organ that is fully and completely exposed to its environment.
Our deeply penetrating infrared heat helps to encourage the growth, development and maintenance of the body's circulatory and integumentary system; (skin, nails, hair). This increased level of blood circulation nourishes the skin by bringing oxygenated blood and nutrients to the surface as well as carrying away waste products. Together with infrared heat's super cleansing effect, users have seen a noticeable improvement in skin texture, complexion and tone.
Stress Relief
Stress has been linked to numerous health conditions, from heart disease to depression. When we remain in a stressed state, our body's vital energy is depleted, leading to various health issues. Our infrared sauna therapy offers a natural solution:
- ✓ Deep muscle relaxation and pain relief
- ✓ Reduced cortisol levels
- ✓ Improved sleep patterns
- ✓ Enhanced overall well-being
Deep Healing
Our unsurpassed Ultra Carbon heaters can penetrate the body up to 2" for deep healing and toxin removal. We have designed our heaters to give off infrared in the spectrum that is called the "Vital Rays". These wavelengths encompass the resonant frequency wavelengths of the human body and the resonant frequency wavelengths of water molecules.
Weight Loss
Sweating away those calories, slimming that waist line and helping with weight loss has never been easier than relaxing in a SAUNAGURU Far Infrared Sauna! While you are relaxing in our sauna, the heat generated is being absorbed deep into the body, creating substantial increases in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.
Your body can safely burn up to 300 to 500 calories in just one 30 minute session, equivalent to running 10-15km. As an added benefit, your basal metabolic rate rises, meaning you will burn calories at an elevated rate for hours after your session has finished. This can translate to a benefit of up to 800 calories from a single session.
Sleep Quality
The human body is affected by regular cycles, including the Circadian Cycle, which affects sleep patterns every 24 hours. Modern life often disrupts these natural patterns, leading to decreased sleep quality. Far Infrared Sauna Therapy (F.I.R.S.T.) can help restore natural sleep patterns by:
F.I.R.S.T. causes the release of endorphins from the brain, which are the body's natural opiates or pain killers. This reduces pain, relaxes muscles, and helps eliminate inflammation and swelling. The improved circulation helps remove toxins from your system, leading to better immune function and more restful sleep.
Detoxification
The appearance of the skin can tell a great deal about the health of an individual. Our advanced Far Infrared Sauna Therapy (F.I.R.S.T.) provides superior detoxification benefits:
Researchers have analyzed the sweat from F.I.R.S.T. and found that it contained 80 to 85% water, sodium, trace minerals, and various toxins that are typically stored in fatty tissue. Traditional detoxification protocols using the colon, lung, kidneys, liver and chelation alone were shown to be less effective than F.I.R.S.T., but were more effective when used in combination with F.I.R.S.T.
