Detoxification, often shortened to detox, is a process which is designed to rid the body of toxins. Many of these toxins come from our diet, prescription drug use, and environmental
exposure, both acute and chronic. Internally, fats, (especially oxidized fats),
free radicals, and other irritating molecules act as toxins.
Toxins damage cells, disrupt our endocrine systems, and
impair the body’s ability to absorb nutrients and heal itself. Poor digestion,
colon sluggishness and dysfunction, reduced liver function, and poor
elimination through the kidneys, respiratory tract, and skin all add to
increased toxicity.
Far Infrared Sauna has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect light at the cellular level.
The human body can absorb Far Infrared light because of its deep penetrating
ability. When FIR penetrates through skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it
transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the
deep layers of the tissues cause bloods vessels and capillaries to dilate,
promoting a better blood circulation, improved cardiovascular health, improved metabolism,
enhanced weight loss, improved immune system, faster recovery from injury and
the heat produced helps the body to get rid of toxins and metabolic waste through sweat glands.
Sweating is the body’s safe and natural way to heal, stay healthy, and detox
Sweat
carries toxins out of the body and pushes it through the pores.
Sweating
helps the body release heat and keeps your internal core temperature as
consistent as needed.
The
average person has 2.6 million sweat glands. Sweat glands are distributed
over the majority of the human body.
Skin
is the largest organ in the body and it plays a significant part in the detox
process.
Detox
from a Far Infrared Sauna is 7 to 10 times greater than conventional saunas
because it operates more effectively at temperatures 60 to 80 degrees lower
than conventional saunas.
In
a Far 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.
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.
Weight Loss
FIR Sauna heat therapy can aid in weight loss by speeding up the metabolic
process of vital organs and endocrine glands resulting in substantial caloric
loss in a sauna heat session.
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.
Speed Recovery from Injuries
For injuries, FIR generated heat stimulates vasodilatation of peripheral blood
vessels, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities, speeding the healing of
sprains and strains, thus relieving pain and reducing the time it takes the
human body to recover from an injury.
Detoxification
The quicker metabolic rate causes extra toxic waste products to be purged
from the body through the skin, during perspiration. The skin is often referred
to as the 3rd kidney, because it is believed to be responsible for eliminating
30% of the body’s waste.
Stress Reduction & Relaxation FIR Sauna heat treatment before a massage
also helps prepare a client by creating an overall relaxing effect. It loosens
the muscle tissue so the therapist can do a more thorough and effective
massage.
Skin Beautification For that sought after healthy glow, FIR Sauna heat therapy
allows increased blood circulation to carry great amounts of nutrients to the
skin, thus promoting healthy tone and texture. A FIR Sauna heat bath also
provides a mild cleansing of the skin.
Improved Immune System
By creating an "Artificial Fever", FIR heat has a positive effect
on the immune system. Often misunderstood, fever is a natural healing response
of the body. The function of the immune system is increased naturally during a
fever, while virus and bacterial growth is slowed, weakening its hold. This
helps the body ward off invading organisms. A FIR heat treatment in the early
stages of a cold or flu has been known to stop the disease before the symptoms
occur.
Acne
Sweating and improving your circulation are also good for acne.
Sessions:
It
is recommended that you start with three 20 minute sessions each week for one
month and then move to weekly maintenance sessions of one or two 20 minute
sessions each week. You will wear workout clothing and need to bring 2 towels
with you.
