Infrared Sauna

 Infrared saunas use a (safe) kind of radiation to create heat instead of steam or hot air. An infrared sauna won't give you instant weight loss, “detox” your body, or prevent disease. An infrared sauna can help reduce joint pain and stiffness, improve mood, reduce oxidative stress, and support cardiovascular health.

Your immune system is constantly going up against an arsenal of toxins that our ancestors never dreamt of; pesticides, toxic metals, PCBs in plastics, environmental pollution, and even GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Combining this with a lifelong poor diet is a set-up for accumulated toxins and a potentially weakened immune system. Infrared saunas encourage your body's natural elimination of pesticides, metals, and other toxins in your body.

Weight loss gimmicks are everywhere. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, regular use of an infrared sauna compares to the same cardiovascular effect of running. The infrared sauna heats your body directly which raises your core body temperature. This boosts your cardiovascular, lymphatic, and immune systems creating a fat-based sweat to help your body detox. 

A January 2009 study in Clinical Rheumatology showed that infrared saunas gave significant relief for patients with chronic pain (such as rheumatoid arthritis). A recent study published in Internal Medicine showed that patients with chronic pain saw their pain levels drop by nearly 70% after their first session of infrared sauna therapy. Pain scores remained low throughout the observation period. The heat from the infrared penetrates 1.5”-2” providing deep joint pain relief.
