Teaming Health with Relaxation
Imagine being able to improve your health, detoxify and burn calories while in a state of deep relaxation. With infrared sauna therapy, all these goals can be achieved and more. Infrared heat therapy has been used for thousands of years in China and Japan. In recent years, infrared sauna therapy has begun to be prevalent in the United States. Doctors recommend it to patients, athletes use it, and people purchase the saunas for their homes. These saunas are a totally different experience than traditional dry saunas; the heat is comfortable and truly relaxing.
The heat from the infrared sauna mimics the sun, giving the benefits of the sun without the harmful effects. According to Marilyn Allen, AP of Acupuncture of Sarasota, “healing occurs from the inside out” as the heat penetrates several inches deep into the body. The resulting “false fever” in the body helps to strengthen the immune system. As heat dilates the blood vessels, pain is relieved and in some cases, completely eliminated. The increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands to expel toxins and wastes through our largest organ, the skin. The pain-free detoxification releases carcinogenic heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol. What’s left behind is skin that glows.
Heat therapy is widely used in Europe to treat arthritis. Other health issues reportedly treated successfully with infrared heat therapy include high blood pressure, soft tissue injuries, acne, eczema, psoriasis, neuralgia, bursitis, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, joint stiffness, aging-related aches and pains, cirrhosis…even cellulite. There are also indications of improvement in autism.
I know the benefits of infrared firsthand. When infrared lights were installed around a treadmill at the fitness center where I was a member, I started to sleep better and lost two inches in my waistline in two weeks. The lights were the only change in my workout or diet routine. An article in The Journal of the American Medical Association compared the calories burned in a single sauna session to the calories burned rowing or jogging for thirty minutes. By some reports, as many as 600 calories are burned.
Marilyn Allen, AP of Acupuncture of Sarasota was also introduced to the benefits of infrared heat firsthand. She experienced immediate relief from colitis after a friend loaned her an infrared lamp. Years later, she’s thrilled to have added a hypoallergenic far-infrared sauna to her practice. It’s the same type of sauna used in detoxification institutes, made of white poplar without glue to prevent reactions.
Here’s what clients are saying:
• “I have had back problems. After two treatments, I feel no pain. I’ve had upset stomach in the morning; that is also gone. Feeling better than I have in a long time.”
• “I have diabetic neuropathy. The sauna has decreased he pain in my feet and legs tremendously! Also, my energy level – from the detoxing – has increased 100 percent.”
• A proctologist states “An experience never to forget. Sore neck and arthritis is much improved with less discomfort and better movement. Sauna is a relaxing, soothing experience you will enjoy, plus its healing factor.”
• “The sauna makes me feel relaxed. It also feels like all the bad “stuff” is being removed from my body. After being in the sauna, my aching back feels much better.”
• “Felt tired when I came. Now I feel energy and ready to go. I love it!”
• “Deeply relaxing.”
• A massage therapist who feels constant tension in her shoulders says, “I can tell the difference in my skin, and it relieved the tightness around my shoulders.”
These are the benefits of infrared sauna therapy in a nutshell:
• relieves pain
• increases flexibility and range of motion
• eases joint pain and stiffness
• strengthens the immune system
• promotes healthy looking skin
• increases blood circulation
• strengthens the cardiovascular system
• burns calories
