Many health professionals are using carbon based infrared sauna therapy for their patient's modalities and treatment plans. These include those patients with chronic inflammation, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. Also, infrared therapy, because of its deep penetrating heat is able to provide a detoxifying effect on the body.
Many health professionals are using carbon based infrared sauna therapy for their patient's modalities and treatment plans. These include those patients with chronic inflammation, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. Also, infrared therapy, because of its deep penetrating heat is able to provide a detoxifying effect on the body. Deep penetrating infrared heat assists the body by drawing out toxins well under the epidermis and exfoliating them through the pores in the skin. Since we are constantly exposed to numerous toxins on a daily basis, infrared therapy can be an adjunct in releasing these toxins. As a result, we can strengthen our immune system and improve our overall health and well being. Carbon based infrared sauna technology delivers a different and unique process of "heating up the body". The heat rendered from carbon based infrared saunas penetrates the body much deeper (up to 1 3/4 inches as compared to the traditional sauna, which only permeates approximately 1/8 of an inch). Because of this greater heat penetration, your body will produce a healthful detoxifying sweat at a much lower sauna temperature--about 120 degrees. Thus, with less heat, you have increased safety and many added health benefits. Pain relief and decreased inflammation associated with such conditions as fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis have been documented by those people who engage in regular carbon based infrared sauna therapy. There is also clinical evidence that when used 24-48 hours post injury, far infrared energy can decrease the amount of time it takes for our bodies to heal from sprains and strains. The deep penetration of carbon based infrared sauna technology facilitates the removal of toxins stored in your body's adipose cells. Regular infrared sauna use helps rid the body of potentially harmful carcinogenic heavy metals such as mercury , lead, and other dangerous toxins , as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol, thus manifesting a true detoxification effect. Carbon based infrared saunas have also been used as part of a regimen for weight and fat loss. As you are "relaxing" in your infrared sauna, your body is "working" to maintain a constant core temperature. This is accomplished by increasing your peripheral blood flow and sweating. An average sauna user can release about 500 grams of sweat and burn up to 350 calories while in the comfort of their own therapeutic sauna....equal to walking about 2-3 miles! Infrared sauna therapy also can be used as a modality to improve cardiovascular function and conditioning. During a sauna session, vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels occur which raises the heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. This results in a "workout" for your heart as the body looks to cool itself and bring blood from internal organs to the extremities and the skin. Other health benefits of carbon based infrared technology also include improvements in the tone, texture and elasticity of the various layers of the skin. Furthermore, the stress relief and relaxation effects of carbon based infrared saunas are clearly evident, as well. As you feel the warmth of the infrared rays, they will trigger the release of endorphins from your brain, relaxing your tired and tight muscles and allowing you to forget about the stressors and the problems of the day.
