Many people turn to saunas as a simple form of relaxation and recreation. However, with the advent of far infrared heat saunas, the new trend is towards harnessing the amazing health benefits of FIR (far-infrared heat).
Better Circulation and Increased Energy
The sauna emits FIR energy that is absorbed by human cells, causing a physical phenomenon called "resonance". Thus the cellular activities are instantly invigorated, resulting in a better blood circulation and an overall improved metabolism.
Reduce Stress / Relaxation
Infrared heat therapy loosens muscles and relaxes the body. Many massage therapists use infrared heat prior to massage to provide a much more thorough and effective treatment.
Cardiovascular Health
The FIR Sauna increases heart rate and blood circulation, crucial to maintaining one's health. The heart rate increases as more blood flow is diverted from the inner organs towards the extremities of the skin, without heightening blood pressure.
Detoxification
Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel) and mercury accumulate in the body during modern daily life. Infrared heat therapy stimulates the sweat glands to cleanse and detoxify your skin.
Exercise Exchange
A 20-30 minute far-infrared (FIR) sauna session burns up to 500 calories, similar to a 5km run. Infrared saunas are perfect for those who do not have time for regular exercise or suffer from personal injuries that inhibit rigorous activity.
Pain Relief
FIR heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach the injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process. Many people use FIR heat as a successful treatment for arthritis, muscle spasms and rheumatism.
Skin Benefits
Infrared heat increases blood circulation, expels dirt chemicals and removes dead cells from surface of skin. All of these benefits lead to a softer and firmer complexion and in turn, infrared heat can be used to reduce the signs of wrinkles associated with aging.
Improves Immune System
During a fever, the body heats up to eliminate viruses and attack foreign agents. Subsequently, the body wards off invading organisms far more easily because the immune system is activated consistently by the "artificial fever." Recent studies also show that colds and flu-like illnesses are reduced dramatically if treated in the early stages with FIR heat therapy.
