INFRARED SAUNA
We are pleased to introduce you to our new 2010 Precision Therapy Infrared Sauna. We hope you enjoy using the sauna! Here's what you need to know.
Infrared saunas provide a much more mild and comfortable environment than a traditional steam sauna. Infrared rays heat the body directly and the air secondarily. A traditional steam sauna heats the air.
You might enjoy these benefits of Infrared Sauna:
DETOXIFICATION
Detox from an infrared sauna is reported to be 7 to 10 times greater than conventional saunas because it operates more effectively at temperatures 60 to 80 degrees lower than conventional saunas. In an infrared sauna, the average person sweats out 20% toxins and 80% water! In conventional saunas the average person sweats out 3% toxins and 97% water.
RELAXATION
Scientific evidence shows that far infrared therapy helps the body maintain healthy levels of cortisol, the "stress hormone."
WEIGHT LOSS
Studies have shown a 30 minute infrared sauna session can burn up to 200-600 calories, as well as releasing stored toxins such as PCBs.
PAIN RELIEF
New clinical research on pain offers evidence to establish a new class of "heat responsive pain" or HRP, which encompasses several common pain conditions that can be treated with heat therapy. Research shows relief of chronic aches and pains including back pain, muscle soreness, stiffness, menstrual pain, headache, cramps, symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
Repeated infrared sauna treatment improves impaired blood vessel functions in people with high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol.
IMPROVED BLOOD CIRCULATION
Heating of muscles with infrared produces an increased blood flow level similar to that seen during exercise. Body temperature elevation also produces an increase in blood flow.
SKIN PURIFICATION
Evidence shows that infrared sauna treatment can help reduce/improve inflammation, acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and other skin conditions. Users report firmer skin tone and improved elasticity. Can also help reduce wrinkles and make skin look radiant. May help cellulite trapped beneath the skin.
