Health Benefits of Infrared Sauna

The health benefits of infrared sauna are comparable to, but outnumber the benefits offered by the traditional steam sauna.

 

A note about Health Benefits of Infrared Sauna

In natural health and healing, we believe in holistic health and healing, as we realize that different parts of the human body are highly interlinked, often beyond Man’s understanding. We also believe that the body has the ability to heal itself of any disease, even supposedly incurable diseases.

In order to do so, the body needs the support of some basic dietary and lifestyle good health habits, such as a full body detox and a proper understanding and application of nutrition. Taking these fundamental health steps will greatly magnify the effects and benefits of any of our health-promoting efforts, including the use of certain holistic remedies.

Infrared energy is known to penetrate 5cm deep into the body and is reported to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue. The health benefits are varied and many, as listed below:

  • Improved Circulation – Far Infrared Radiation, or FIR, has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect. Its deep acting features allow FIR to reach the subcutaneous tissues and the thermal effect on deep layers of tissue causes dilation of blood vessels boosting the circulatory system. This helps in flushing out impurities from the blood and other metabolic wastes are expunged via sweating.
  • Pain Relief – The deep tissue heat provided by FIR is ideal for relieving sore muscles and joint pain from chronic conditions like arthritis.
  • Better Circulation and Energy – Another of the health benefits of infrared sauna therapy is better circulation and increased energy. The heat radiated by FIR saunas causes a phenomenon called “resonance” when it is absorbed by the cells in the body. This invigorates and boosts cellular metabolism and blood circulation instantaneously.
  • Weight Loss – FIR heat therapy can be used as a complementary aid in weight loss programs for accelerating metabolism which results in large quantities of calories lost in a single sauna heat session.
  • Improved Heart Health – The health benefits of infrared saunas extend to cardiovascular health, too. FIR therapy increases heart rate and circulation, which is vital to good, robust cardiovascular health. Having a far infrared sauna therapy session is equivalent to a good physical workout.
  • Promotes Healing – Another of the health benefits of infrared saunas is that it encourages speedy recovery from injuries. Since FIR therapy causes vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels, sprains and strains and related pain are relieved much quicker and the natural healing process is aided.
  • Detoxification – One of the most important health benefits of infrared saunas is its ability to effect massive detoxification. Due to the sweating induced by FIR therapy, extra toxic waste products are quickly expunged during intense perspiration. The skin is the largest eliminative organ and it is possible to get rid of large quantities of impurities through its surface area during FIR heat therapy.
  • Reduces Stress, Induces Relaxation – Infrared sauna therapy helps in stress reduction. Prior to a massage, FIR therapy is an excellent method of inducing relaxation and relieving stress.
  • Cosmetic Glow – FIR therapy is much in demand since it puts the much sought after glow that accompanies healthy skin, due to its propensity to enhance blood circulation and skin nutritive features, promoting healthy tone and texture to skin.
  • Improved Immunity – Another of the most important health benefits of infrared saunas is its ability to enhance immunity of the body. This is due to the artificial fever inducing properties of FIR therapy. This stimulates the immune system and also helps the body to fight off any invasive organisms like bacteria or virus in the early stages of cold, cough, or flu, preventing disease from occurring.

    Infrared Sauna versus Traditional Steam Sauna – More Benefits

    There are additional benefits of infrared saunas, when compared with traditional steam saunas.

  • Infrared heaters use direct light energy to warm the body in a manner which is similar to sunlight.
  • Infrared saunas work in a manner where only the body inside the sauna chamber is heated directly, while the surrounding air remains unaffected. Traditional saunas heat the entire enclosure and some people experience difficulties breathing in this hot air. This feature of infrared saunas also results in power conservation, as well as deep tissue penetration, which most people find very beneficial.
  • It is likely that a conventional sauna may spread and cultivate bacteria due to its humid, heavy air, but this is not the case in an infrared sauna where the environment is not humid and therefore more hygienic and free from bacteria.

    Overall, it is a matter of personal preference of users, as to which is better, infrared or traditional saunas. While, on the one hand, many steam sauna advocates feel that an infrared sauna is not as satisfying in providing the relaxing and invigorating experience of a steam sauna, on the other hand, infrared saunas actually have more benefits.

    Personally, I find the infrared sauna therapy experience more comfortable and pleasant.

    How to Take a Sauna Before a Workout

    Combining the benefits of a detoxifying sauna with a regular workout can be beneficial to the overall muscle relaxation of your body. Saunas are mostly used for detoxifying the body and heating up your circulatory system to promote relaxation and overall health. Anecdotally, many exercise enthusiasts say they enjoy a sauna to relax their muscles after a workout. Working out and taking saunas both are components for an improved lifestyle of health and fitness.

    Difficulty: Moderately Easy

    Instructions

    1. 1

      Prepare for the sauna by drinking 3 to 4 glasses of water before you enter the sauna. Make sure you’ve eaten a satisfying, healthy, protein-rich meal 30 to 60 minutes before your sauna and workout. While you sweat and work your muscles, your body needs fuel to burn.

    2. 2

      Keep your sauna short. If you do sauna before or after your workout times, limit your dry sauna time to only 10 to 15 minutes at a maximum. This allows your muscles to stay warm and flexible, but spending too long in a sauna with workout times can dehydrate your body and reduce the positive effects of both the sauna and exercise.

    3. 3

      Towel dry after the sauna before you begin your work out. This will help remove the layer of toxins you have sweated out. Drink at least 3 glasses of water to rehydrate from the sauna. Also make sure to drink more water at intervals throughout your workout.

    4. 4

      Rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes after the sauna before you begin your workout. Do a few minutes of stretching your muscles out after your rest period before you workout. As an alternative to using saunas with your workout, consider taking the saunas in between workout days to promote your body’s circulation, relaxation and detoxification in various ways.

    About Detoxification in an Infrared Sauna

    Infrared saunas are becoming increasingly popular as alternatives to traditional saunas. Unlike ordinary saunas, which cause the body to sweat by heating the air around it, infrared saunas use heat generated by infrared. Because infrared heats the body through radiation and conversion, it does not overheat the body as quickly as traditional steam-based sauna techniques. This may result in longer, more comfortable sauna sessions.

      Heat and Detoxification

    1. Infrared saunas are designed to enable radiant heat to penetrate the skin. The wavelength of infrared is, according to sauna enthusiasts, ideal for deep-tissue heating. When the first several centimetres of the skin are heated, toxins are loosened from fat cells and transferred into sweat, which is then excreted from the body. Some health practitioners claim this form of detoxification can help to treat obesity, arthritis, and even serious conditions such heavy metal poisoning and cancer.

      Circulation Support

    2. By stimulating circulation, infrared saunas may help to eliminate toxins in the blood and fat cells. Heat, when transferred into the body using infrared radiation, increases the heart rate and stimulates increased blood-flow to all areas of the body. This may cause the body’s major filters– the kidneys and liver– to kick into high-gear and help the body to detoxify. The tendency of infrared heat to improve circulation may also help to treat neuropathy and inflammation.

      Weight Loss

    3. Many people pursue detoxification therapies to assist with weight loss, and infrared saunas are effective in enabling the loss of both fat cells and excess water. When exposed to heat, the body automatically responds by increasing sweat production. The shuffling of excess fluids may help to eliminate bloating and excess weight caused by water retention. Because the body burns calories in sweating, fat cells are burned to fuel the body’s cooling system.

    The Best Infrared Sauna for Detox

     

      All Infrared Benefits

    1. Any infrared sauna that functions as a dry sauna, heating up the body in under 110 to 150 degree steam-free conditions, will produce some detoxification benefits. When you perspire in an infrared sauna, your body’s core is being heated and not just the surrounding air; your blood circulation increases and your pores open. This aids the blood in "pushing out" toxins through the pores as you sweat. Wipe off the sweat frequently during a sauna to maximize the release of toxins through the skin.
      Spas that provide traditional sauna services offer lotions and creams to add the skin purification, detoxification and cellulite reducing functions of a dry sauna. Simply drinking two to three glasses of water before and after your infrared sauna will aid in cleansing your system of toxins produced by sweating as your body "flushes" with clear water.
      Many reports come anecdotally from sauna users across the world about other medical benefits of infrared saunas. A common theme emerges that regular infrared saunas can improve the long-term health of people with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, relieve arthritis pain and reduce inflammations.

      Infrared Emitters

    2. Many companies now make electrical, dry saunas for sale but the real difference seems to lie in how much infrared energy is emitted by the heating units. The most effective infrared emitters give off 94 to 96 percent infrared energy.  
      For the best results in using infrared saunas and "far-infrared" technology, a sauna heater that emits more than 75 percent infrared energy is your best bet. At the least, using the mid-grade saunas will increase your benefits. The more true infrared energy, the more effective the body-heating becomes at a deep tissue level to stimulate your natural detoxification. The deeper the infrared energy penetrates your body’s organs and system, the more effective its health benefits will be.When purchasing please ensure that the Far infrared elements are 100% ceramic with a lava coating for the correct emission of far infrared rays

    Understanding Toxins and their impact on your health. CONTACT US TODAY FOR FRIENDLY ADVICE 021 5567203

    The word toxin is used to describe anything that is foreign or poisonous to the body. All of us are exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a daily basis. Toxins fall into two main categories: environmental toxins and internal body toxins.
    Environmental toxins include but are not limited to, household chemicals, industrial pollutants, food additives, and pesticides.
    During the last 100 years, at least 75,000 new chemicals have been introduced into our environment. The majority of these chemicals have no scientific evidence to prove that they are safe for human consumption or exposure. In fact, most of them are known to be unsafe for humans at some level.
    The following is a compelling excerpt on Toxins. We include this story to emphasize that Toxins, even in the hands of professionals are dangerous and potentially deadly.

    Bad things come in small packages. On August 14, 1996, Karen Wetterhahn, a toxicologist and professor of chemistry at Dartmouth College, spilled a drop, a tiny speck, of dimethylmercury on her left hand. Wetterhahn, tall, thin, intense, was an expert on how toxic metals cause cancer once they penetrate cell membranes. When she spilled the poisonous droplet in her lab, she thought nothing of it; she was wearing latex gloves. What she didn’t know killed her.
    The dimethylmercury was volatile enough to penetrate the glove. Five months later Wetterhahn began stumbling into doors and slurring words. After three weeks in a hospital, she slipped into a coma.
    "I went to see her, but it wasn’t the kind of coma I’d expected," recalled Diane Stearns, one of her postdoctoral students, now a professor of chemistry herself. "She was thrashing about. Her husband saw tears rolling down her face. I asked if she was in pain. The doctors said it didn’t appear that her brain could even register pain." Karen Wetterhahn died five months later. She was 48 years old, a wife and mother of two. The mercury had devoured her brain cells "like termites eating away for months," one of her doctors said. How could such a brilliant, meticulous, world-class toxicologist come to such an end?
    "Only lion tamers are killed by lions", said Kent Sugdan, one of her postdoctoral fellows.
    Get the whole story in the pages of National Geographic magazine.

    Internal body toxins consist of waste products created by normal metabolic processes within the body. Everyday physiological processes such as energy production, digestion and hormone synthesis create waste products. These waste products are examples of internal toxins. If these waste products are not discarded they interfere with the function of our internal organs . Although the human body excretes the majority of these toxins through urination and fecal elimination, we also expel them when we breathe, sweat, cut our hair and trim our nails .
    Such digestive toxins are produced as a result of breaking down proteins, starches and fats . We are eating more sugar and processed foods than ever before in human history and regularly abuse our bodies with various stimulants and sedatives all of which contribute to the toxic load.
    We are exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a daily basis . U.S. industries manufacture over 6 trillion pounds of 9,000 different chemicals a year . Billions of pounds of industrial chemicals are dumped into our air and water year after year. For decades, scientists have been studying the pollutants in our air, water, food, and soil. Now they are turning their attention to examine pollution levels in humans. The findings are disturbing.
    Research shows that our bodies are not capable of eliminating the multitude of toxins that we ingest daily.
    Over time there is a build up of body toxins and if they are not released or cleansed, varying degrees of illness occur . When your body is unable to release or break toxins, they are stored within the fatty tissues, blood, and organs (such as the colon, liver and brain). They remain stored for an indefinite length of time causing all kinds of health problems .
    People who are highly toxic are susceptible to many diseases including;

    • Premature Aging
    • Cancers
    • Auto-immune Diseases
    • Skin Disorders
    • Hormone Imbalances
    • Anxiety
    • Headaches
    • Emotional Disorders
    • Heart Disease
    • Arthritis
    • Alzheimer’s
    • Chronic Fatigue

    Natural Body Detoxification and its benefit to your health

    Natural Body detoxification is a process whereby toxins are released from fatty tissues, blood, organs and are expelled from the body. When faced with toxicity, our bodies respond by retaining water in an effort to dilute water-soluble toxins and by retaining fat in an effort to dilute fat-soluble toxins . As a result, toxins often lead to weight gain and increased fat retention .
    Most people living on this planet have varying degrees of toxicity in their physical body. We are bombarded with polluted air, food that is tainted by pesticides, herbicides, parasites and acidic water .
    There are also many other lesser known causes of toxicity levels in our bodies including home cleaning products, silver fillings (amalgam), vaccines and personal care products .
    The human body is designed with an incredible defence system that keeps us healthy even under the most extreme circumstances . Natural Body detoxification is performed through the colon, lungs, skin, urinary tract, lymphatic system and the liver.
    You may be wondering how you will know, or what symptoms will show up, to let you know that your body needs to be detoxified . There are a myriad of symptoms that are strong indicators that the body may need help. Some of these include unexplained fatigue, increased allergies, hypersensitivity to common materials, intolerance to certain foods, indigestion, aches and pains, low grade fever, headaches, insomnia, depression, sore throats, sudden weight loss or gain, lowered resistance to infection, frequent colds. A proper body detoxification program will remove harmful toxins. With the toxins gone, the symptoms go away .
    These symptoms are indicative of toxic overload and when this occurs, we need to help the body detoxify through a variety of Natural Detoxification methods .
    For full body detoxification:
    A far infrared sauna is especially effective at full body detoxification . It is up to three times more effective than regular saunas. Infrared rays penetrate the body one and a half to three inches. This causes a deep heating effect in the muscle tissues and internal organs . The cellular metabolism is stimulated which breaks up the water molecules that hold the toxins and allows them to be released through the skin in perspiration . Through the perspiration process, acid and waste residue such as toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and the potentially carcinogenic heavy metals (especially zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium, etc) are removed from the cells.
    The medical profession acknowledges the success of infrared sauna technology and many doctors provide a sauna within their offices for patient use. Drink plenty of clean, filtered water (preferably alkaline water) while in the sauna. Sun Spirit Infrared Saunas are a safe and natural way to cleanse your body through natural body detoxification.
    For the liver – eat foods that help the liver detoxify:

    • Broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and kale
    • Green foods – green vegetables, sea vegetables and seaweed
    • Various supplements, green tea and milk thistle extract

    For the Colon – eat fibre – 25-30 grams of fibre per day:

    • Apples, pears and citrus fruits
    • Carrots, beans, lentils, legumes and peas
    • Whole grains

    For the Urinary Track – drink plenty of clean alkaline water:

    • Your body needs a minimum 2 quarts of water a day

    For over all good health – eat organic foods whenever possible:

    • The thicker the peel on fruit and vegetables the less chance of pesticide penetration – bananas, grapefruits, pineapple and watermelons

    For the Skin – have a good sweat:

    • If you are unable to have a good sweat for whatever reason or you are unable to exercise, give serious consideration to far infrared sauna therapy to remove body toxins through natural body detoxification.

    Benefits of Infrared Saunas Vs Hot-Rock Saunas

    Benefits of Infrared Saunas Over Hot-Rock Saunas

    Since infrared saunas heat the body directly rather than heating the air, many proponents of infrared saunas claim that the heat penetrates the body deeper than the heat of traditional saunas, which use steam. This penetration leads to more sweat, which leads to a greater detoxification experience. It also can promote tissue stimulation, which can aid with problems like arthritis pain and tissue damage.
    From a practical standpoint, some brands of infrared saunas can be portable, easier to clean, and quicker to use than traditional saunas. Some benefits of infrared saunas:
    • Whereas traditional saunas are installed in a permanent location, infrared saunas can be set up in less than an hour, and then broken down and moved elsewhere.
    • Infrared saunas don’t mildew, since they don’t use steam like traditional saunas
    • Some brands of traditional saunas heat up faster (in 15 or so minutes) than traditional saunas (which can take 45 minutes or more)
    • Infrared saunas operate at a lower heat than traditional saunas, which can be safer for people with cardiovascular problems – and more comfortable
    • Infrared saunas usually use less electricity to heat than traditional saunas, making them cheaper to operate

    Lower Blood Pressure and Improved Circulation in a far infrared sauna

    Call: 0215567203

    see website: https://www.thesaunashop.co.za

    Blood vessel dilation brings blood closer to the surface of the skin and, as blood vessels expand to accommodate increased blood flow, circulation in the extremities improves, and the blood pressure gets lower. The effect on the blood pressure is temporary, but medical research shows that frequent sauna bathing can make person’s blood pressure level also to stay lower.

    1. Effortlessly remove stored toxins and detox your body to look and feel younger

    Scientific analysis shows infrared heat induced sweat contains 5-6 times more toxins, fat and impurities than normal sweat. Relax in a sauna from The Sauna Shop and enjoy its unsurpassed ability to eliminate stored waste (metabolic wastes, environmental toxins, city pollution, fat, cholesterol, heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine – source: Zane R. Gard, MD & Erma J. Brown, BSN, PhN TLfDP, October 1992).

    Heat Treatments Get Rid of Toxins
    By Raymond Francis, M.Sc., reprinted from "Never Be Sick Again"
    Benefits of Detox,

    Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., of Seattle

    " … with the infrared therapy cabin we are talking about reversing disease, getting rid of underlying causes and therefore getting rid of the symptoms once and for all. We are talking about restoring the body to a level of chemicals it had maybe 20-50 years ago."

    Detoxify or die, Sherry A Rogers M.D, Prestige publishing, 2002. ISBN 1 – 887202-04-8, p.227

    2. Aid in weight loss

    Our body expends energy to produce sweat (1g sweat requires 0.586 kcal) meaning your body can safely burn up to 800 calories in just one 30-minute session; with sweat loss equivalent to running 10-15km. While this weight can be regained through drinking water, the calories consumed will not. A sauna treatment can also help to raise your basal metabolic rate meaning you will burn calories at an elevated rate for hours after your session has finished. At 42 degrees Celsius, body fat becomes water soluble and can be eliminated through sweating.

    3. Reduced signs of aging – Beautiful youthful skin

    The Sauna Shop Far infrared sauna’s deep acting infrared heat helps to develop and maintain the body’s capillary network. This increases the blood circulation especially to your skin’s surface. Together with infrared heat’s super cleansing effect, you will see a noticeable improvement in your skin’s texture, complexion and tone. It can also remove skin roughness; soothe damage from scaring and even help UV damage leaving your skin feeling baby smooth and soft. Prepare to glow!

    4. Cellulite treatment

    Beauty specialists in Europe regularly incorporate daily The Sauna Shop Far infrared  sessions in programmes specifically designed to reduce cellulite. Because the radiant heat of the far infrared sauna warms three times as deeply as conventional saunas and aids in the break down and release of stored fat and toxins through the skin, it is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite and promoting smoother skin.

    5. Exceptional natural pain relief

    Owners WHO PURCHASED from The Sauna Shop mention  and again attest to its amazing ability to reduce and even remove completely the pain associated with various muscle and joint problems; from poor sitting positions and over work to more chronic ailments such as osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. Meaning that safe, natural pain relief without medication, used by European medical professionals is now available in your own home!

    6. A retreat to distress and relax

    Stress and anxiety melt away in the soothing warmth and comfort of the The Sauna Shop sauna, your senses being further treated with sensual aromas, soothing colour therapy and soft music if desired. Infrared therapy has been shown to promote a rebalancing of the body’s hormones through its effect on the autonomic nervous system, reducing the negative physical impact of stress on the body. A The Sauna Shop sauna session thus helps to truly rebalance both the mind and body.

    7. Increased blood circulation that exercises and strengthens the cardiovascular system

    As your body is warmed in the The Sauna Shop sauna the entire cardiovascular system is dilated to increase blood flow to the surface of the skin and the extremities in order to dissipate heat. Meaning your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops, for improved overall cardiovascular fitness. A German study showed reduced blood pressure in patients with hypertension for at least 24 hours after infrared therapy.

    8. Improved cell function and increased ATP production

    Scientific research suggests that infrared therapy helps the body’s cells to work at a more optimal level, including greater efficiency of absorbing nutrients and removing wastes and producing more ATP – the cells source of energy. Healthy cells help make a healthy body!

    9. Boosts moods and helps lift depression – five therapies in one

    Full spectrum sunlight alone has been shown to have dramatic effects on lifting the winter blues, with the radiant warmth of infrared heat, soothing colours, sounds and aromas of the The Sauna Shop sauna, however, the effect is further enhanced; each therapy working synergistically to effectively rebalance the body and lift moods. A The Sauna Shop sauna session can offer a respite from the coldest, wettest and darkest of winter nights when a tropical beach is still thousands of miles away!

    10. Improves your immune system

    The deep, radiant infrared heat raises your body temperature, inducing a type of artificial fever. As the body works to combat this "fever" your body’s immune system is stimulated and strengthened. Combined with the elimination of toxins and wastes produced by intense sweating your overall health and resistance to disease can be improved.

    11. Unbeatable for Insomnia, jetlag and  hangovers

    Whether you are still on a different time zone, working too late or have overindulged with late night socializing, the The Sauna Shop sauna can quickly help get you back on track. Either before bed to promote deep, restful sleep, or the morning after to help flush out the excesses of the night before the The Sauna Shop sauna helps you recover.

    12. Promotes healing of sports injuries

    Be it a sore back from golf, tired legs from cycling, or even damaged tendons and muscles from the rugby field the The Sauna Shop sauna offers highly effective promotion of the body’s natural healing processes as proven over many decades by the sports medical profession. Infrared sauna therapy is used by the US Olympic team and NASA.

    13. Prevent injury through effective warm up

    Before exercise, simply get in the therapy cabin with training gear on and wait until just before starting to sweat

    " Tissues heated to 45°C and then stretched exhibit a non-elastic residual elongation of about 0.5-0.9% that persists after the stretch is removed, which does not occur in these same tissues at normal temperatures. Thus 20 stretching sessions can produce 10-18% increase in length of tissues so heated and stretched."

    Justus F Lehmann M.D., Williams and Wilkins, Therapeutic Heat and Cold, 4th edition.

    14. Create a home spa retreat in which to pamper yourself and enhance other beauty treatments

    For many decades European beauty spas have used infrared heat to enhance the uptake of active ingredients and treatments for skin and beauty. Creating your own home spa with the The Sauna Shop sauna will allow you to take time out for yourself and further enhance any other treatments you may utilize.

    15. Safe for any age group

    Unlike a traditional sauna, the The Sauna Shop sauna is perfectly safe from childhood to advanced age. From hyperactive kids and stressed adults to the elderly the The Sauna Shop sauna represents a safe and effective treatment to promote enhanced wellbeing and quality of life.

    16. Low comfortable temperature and effective in only 30 minutes

    In just 30 minutes you will feel relaxed, rejuvenated, revitalized and rebalanced, having burned lots of calories in the pleasant heat of 32-60C. This low temperature ensures you will not feel uncomfortable and along with the full safety glass door prevents claustrophobia.

    17. Maintenance free, cheap to run and portable

    All the above benefits are gained with the added benefit of the The Sauna Shop sauna being so easy to use. A fifteen minute warm-up time, no moisture, drainage or ventilation concerns, a standard three pin plug and a session costing less than 30p makes this an ideal and affordable addition to any home, gym, hotel or spa.
