BENEFITS OF THE FAR INFRARED SAUNA

 

  • Improved Cardiovascular Function

The regular use of a far infrared sauna may be as effective for cardiovascular conditioning as exercise. As the body heats up, it cools itself by sending blood from the internal organs to the extremities and the skin, thus increasing heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.

 

  • Improved Immune System Function

Each far infrared sauna session causes a brief, beneficial increase in body temperature, which improves immune system health by boosting production of infection-fighting white blood cells and killer T-cells.

 

  • Stress and Pain Relief

High daily stress levels put constant strain on the body’s nervous system and can contribute to chronic disease. The far infrared sauna helps to reduce physical stress by boosting circulation and triggering the production of endorphins, the “feel good” hormones.

 

  • Weight Control

Toxins can play a significant role in preventing patients from losing weight as well as gaining weight. The cardiovascular effect from a single sauna session burns as many as 600 calories. The sauna is also quite effective at dealing with cellulite when combined with massage therapy nutrition.

 

  • Pain Relief

By dilating blood vessels, infrared heat increases blood circulation to injured areas, speeding up the healing process and relieving pain.
