Infrared Sauna Explained
Infrared rays penetrate into your body over 1.5" deep simulating a fever reaction in your body. This is good; it activates your bodies natural mechanism for warding off desease-causing bacteria and viruses. This heating effect penetrates deep in the muscular tissues and the internal organs and the responce is an increase in both heart volume and rate. This beneficial heart stress leads to a sought-after cardiovascular training and conditioning effect.
It’s based on NASA research from the early 80's. Scientists learned infrared heat can give astronauts a cardiovascular workout without exercise. Infrared saunas claim you can burn up to 600 calories in just 39 minutes
By using the far infra red wavelength to create a penetrating heat relaxing and soothing your muscles.
An excellent partner to one of our massage treatments. Use the booth to unwind from a “long day” or to start the day invigorated.
Benefits of INFRED SAUNA
Burns calories and controls weight
- Some weight loss authorities believe that our bodies use fat to dilute toxins. As a infrared sauna is an unsurpassed expeller of toxins, it is also a great way to get rid of any fat our bodies are using to dilute toxins we are storing.
- Infrared sauna helps generate two to three times the sweat produced in a hot-air sauna, the implications for increased caloric consumption are quite impressive. As you relax in the gentle heat of the sauna, your body is actually hard at work, producing sweat, pumping blood and burning calories
- The Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) states;
- "A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 grams in a sauna, consuming nearly 300 kcal, which is equivalent to running 2 -3 miles. A heat-conditioned person can easily sweat off 600 -800 kcal with no adverse effects. While the weight of the water loss can be regained by drinking water, the calories consumed will not be.”
- So you lose weight - not just water. This would be very valuable for those who don't exercise and those who can't exercise yet want an effective weight control and fitness maintenance program and the benefits of a regular exercise.
Relieves Pain
- Effective for arthritis, back pain, muscle spasms, headache, etc
- Radiant heat helps with sprains, strains, arthritis, muscle spasm and pain.
- The deep heat of your sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscle, so they recover faster. Muscles relax most readily when tissues are warm, for greater flexibility and range of motion.
Improves the Immune System
- Sauna's deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. As it works to combat the "fever," your body's immune system is strengthened. Combined with the elimination of toxins and wastes produced by the intense sweating, your overall health and resistance to disease is increased
Increases Blood Circulation and Strengthens the Cardiovascular System
- As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops, for improved overall cardiovascular fitness.
- "Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular systems, not to build big leg muscles. Regular use of a sauna may impart similar stress on the cardiovascular system. And its regular use may be as effective as a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular exercise.... A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 gms. in sauna, consuming nearly 300 calories -the equivalent of running two to three miles. A heat-conditioned person can easily sweat off 600 to 800 kcal with no adverse effect. While the weight of water loss can be regained by rehydration, the calories consumed will not be".
- Two of the highest calorie output exercises are rowing and running marathons. Peak output on a rowing machine or during a marathon burns about 600 calories for 30 minutes. An infrared sauna may burn as many calories. It might, in a single session, simulate the consumption of energy equal to that expended in a six to nine mile run.
- Extensive research by NASA in the early 1980's led to the conclusion that infrared stimulation of cardiovascular function would be an ideal way to maintain cardiovascular conditioning in American astronauts during long space flight.
Removes Toxins and Mineral Waste
- Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of an accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals (lead, mercury, zinc, nickel, cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol.
Clears Cellulite
- Cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes, which are trapped in pockets below the skin. An Infrared Thermal System can assist this condition, as profuse sweating helps clear this form of unwanted debris from the body.
- Saunas help clear ugly cellulite, the gel-like lumps of fat, water and debris trapped in pockets beneath the skin. European beauty specialists routinely incorporate daily saunas in programs to reduce cellulite. And because the radiant heat of the sauna warms three times as deeply as conventional saunas, it is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite than any conventional sauna.
Eases joint Pain and Stiffness
- The sauna's deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. As it works to combat the "fever," your body's immune system is strengthened. Combined with the elimination of toxins and wastes produced by the intense sweating, your overall health and resistance to disease is increased.
Reduces Stress and Fatigue
- Perhaps the most immediate relief your sauna offers is simple relaxation, as it melts away the stresses and tensions of urban life. Just a few minutes in the gentle warmth of your sauna gives you an overall massaging effect, soothing jangled nerves and knotted muscles. You'll feel rejuvenated and renewed, restored in both body and mind.

- A new "inner glow" as the skin is free of accumulated dirt and dry skin cells, due to deep cleansing of impurities.
- Improves the conditions of acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and any skin lesions and cuts. .Open wounds heal quicker with reduced scarring.

- The profuse sweating achieved after just a few minutes in the sauna carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and immaculately clean, increased circulation draws your skin's own natural nutrients to the surface.
