| Burns calories and controls
weight
As you relax in the gentle heat of the infrared sauna, your body is
actually hard at work, producing sweat, pumping blood and burning calories.
According to a Journal of the American Medical Association report, in
a single sauna session you may burn as many calories as you would rowing
or jogging for 30 minutes. So you lose weight - not just water.
Increases blood circulation and strengthens the
cardiovascular systems
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. A moderately conditioned
person can easily sweat off 500 grams in sauna, consuming nearly 300
calories.
Relieves pain
The deep heat of the infrared 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.
Eases joint pain and stiffness
In Europe, radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering
from many forms of arthritis. In addition, it has been proven effective
in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint
stiffness and many other muscular-skeletal ailments. Much of the stiffness,
aches and soreness that come with aging is reduced or eliminated.

Clears cellulite
Infrared 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 infrared sauna warms
three times as deeply as conventional saunas, it is significantly more
effective at reducing cellulite.
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.
Improves skin condition
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. You'll see improved
tone, elasticity, texture and fresh color.
Improves the immune system
Infra 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
The most immediate relief the infrared 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 the sauna gives you an overall massaging
effect, soothing jangled nerves and knotted muscles.
