Relieves Pain: Heat relieves pain in sore and tired joints and muscles. It does this by expanding blood vessels to promote better circulation. Improved circulation carries additional oxygen to injured areas, reducing pain and accelerating the healing process.
Skin Benefits: The warmth of a sauna can expel dirt and chemicals to assist in purifying your pores and help remove dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. Regular use of a sauna can result in softer skin and an improved complexion.
Simulates Fever: Fever is the body’s natural mechanism to fight infection and some viruses. It is an important part of the recovery process. By heating the body, saunas induce an artificial state of fever. Saunas provide the infection-fighting benefits of a fever without suffering the discomfort that comes from actually being ill.
Weight Control: Saunas promote intense perspiration. The body regulates its temperature through sweating, and helps purge excess moisture, salt and fat.
Detox: The body purges many toxins via perspiration. Unhealthy elements such as alcohol, heavy metals, and nicotine can build up within the body. Sweating is one of the natural means to purge these impurities, and saunas promote perspiration.
Reduces Stress: The heat of a sauna can relax your body and loosen muscles. Stress can affect our overall health so a sauna is an excellent way to relieve stress in a natural way.

It is a well known as a purifying stone that deflects and transforms negative energy, and thus is very protective. It can transform and remove negativity from an individual or an environment. It is often used as an aura cleanser, and can help one attain higher levels of awareness.
Black tourmaline is also used for repelling and protecting one from black magic, and is often said to return the negative spell to the sender. Some claim that black tourmaline deflects all kinds of energy, but OUR personal experience is that it’s not so. It is possible that the black tourmaline’s effect of grounding excess energy gives this impression.
Black tourmaline has also been used to deflect radiation energy from tv’s and computer monitors.
Emotionally, black tourmaline is excellent for dispelling fears, obsessions, and neuroses, bringing emotional stability.
Physically, black tourmaline is said in crystal healing to strengthen the immune system, help with heart disease, arthritis, and gout. As Black Tourmaline is a type of tourmaline it has those properties as well as its own.

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.

If you are stressed, don’t feel too worried on how to deal with it; this will only aggravate your stressful situation. There are different ways of approaching coping with stress and this article will be a start of it. Read the basics and start to live in a more relaxed state.
There are a lot of ways to counter stress but we can limit them to 10. Here are ten ways on how to cope with stress:
1. Exercise regularly. Stress is an internal reaction and your body’s reaction to change. Exercise can help your body release confined stress and can make the body stronger. The best exercise to improve your body’s response to stress is aerobic. Walking exercises is a good way to start. You may also have other options of aerobic exercising like racquetball.
2. Relax. Surprisingly, it’s quicker for our mind to relax if we will learn to relax our body first. One type of relaxation is the progressive muscle relaxation wherein you will tense each of your muscle groups. You will have to hold the tension for 10 seconds and release it for the next 10 seconds. Relaxation exercises will only take 20 minutes to complete. It should be practiced once a day. You will start to feel more relaxed over time after these exercises.
3. Sleep well. Your body will be vulnerable to stress if you don’t have enough quality sleep. You may have a sleep disorder if you find it difficult to sleep every night or staying asleep. Another symptom of sleep disorder is falling asleep unexpectedly within the day or feeling exhausted the whole day.
If possible, try to sleep at the same hours each night including weekends. To have a regular sleeping schedule, begin by getting up same time each morning; change your bed time when necessary. It can be tough for the first or second week but ultimately, it will help you.
4. Laugh it up. Laughter can really release stress and it’s advisable to do it often. To cope with stress, you can start by thinking about what makes you laugh. Maybe, you’ll feel that you are wasting much time by watching “The Simpsons” each week but it’s a good therapy. You can go browsing the internet and find something that can make you laugh.
5. Make time for fun activities. This is somewhat related to the fourth tip. Give yourself leisure time. I may not be easy but it must be done. You have to decide on the regular activity that you can do leisurely.
6. Improve your diet. You may have to change your diet to cope with stress. You can start by eliminating caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant and a drug which can cause the body to react to stress. This can lead your body to be more sensitive in life changes and you may be unable to cope with them. It can also cause panic attacks.
Alcohol may also increase panic and anxiety overtime. It may make you feel more relaxed oftentimes but over indulgence can result to an opposite effect. If you are under medication, this might not take effect if you’re drinking always. You also need to avoid another stimulant which is nicotine that produces similar effects to caffeine.
Examining what you eat, when you will eat and how much is also necessary is also needed. A healthy diet shall make you stronger. It may be hard to stick on a regular healthy diet but the benefits are astounding.
7. Create your support network. If you have anxiety disorder, 3 main types of support will help you cope with stress. One is support from people who also have this disorder. They can understand you and can give advices on how to cope with stressful situations.
The second group is the therapist. You will be assisted by a therapist on learning and coping with stress through known techniques. The therapist will listen to you during those stressful times. The third group is your family and friends. When everyone else cannot understand you, the power of support and love will always come from your immediate family and friends.
8.Change negative thinking. This should not be confused with positive thinking. You may not need to be optimistic and cheerful always and you shouldn’t always forget bad stuff. You just don’t need to feel angry all the times and put yourself down always. You cannot cope with stress if you always criticize and dislike yourself so change this thinking.
9. Manage your time. Your time management must be personalized and flexible. When you feel overwhelmed and rushed, you will be stressed eventually. To cope with stress, cut some activities out of your daily routine. Time management can also include learning new skills such as delegation, assertiveness and saying “NO”.
10. Stop being a perfectionist. Negative thoughts are somewhat related to being a perfectionist. It can be good to expect yourself to do great things but being perfect is impossible. You cannot cope with stress if you will always be perfectionist. Always remember the 2 main goals to eliminate perfectionism: 1 To learn the difference between the perfect and the best that you can do. 2. To praise yourself for each last accomplishment each day no matter how small it is.
Aside from the above steps, there are many other ways to go about coping with stress. Because stress is our response to changes, we can also begin to change some of the things that can only make us pressured and depressed. Practicing at least one technique a day is a good start for you to cope with stress and to live a stress-free life!
You may also have other options of aerobic exercising like racquetball.
