What is far infrared sauna?

The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into three segments by wavelengths measured in microns. Far infrared is a measure beyond the visible spectrum. This invisible band of light warms objects without warming the air between the source and the object. The best example of this is the sun. Approximately 80% of the sun’s rays fall into the infrared range (not to be confused with ultraviolet rays which harm the skin). When you go outside on a cold day and your face feels warm in the sunshine, this is far infrared penetrating your body. Our bodies also radiate far infrared. Palm healing, which has a 3000 year history in China, is based on the natural healing properties of far infrared. The far infrared sauna therapy unit duplicates these healthy far infrared frequencies.

How does far infrared sauna help with detoxification?

The tissues selectively absorb far infrared frequencies as the water in the cells reacts in a process called “resonant absorption.” Resonant absorption occurs when the frequency of the far infrared matches the frequency of the water in the cells, causing toxins to be dropped off into the blood stream and excreted in sweat, feces and urine. More than 77,000 chemicals are in active production in this country. Our exposure to these chemicals is greater than at any time since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. When ingested, these chemicals can remain in the body for years, creating a toxic burden that can alter metabolism and cause enzyme dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and lowered threshold to chronic disease. The far infrared sauna is effective in removing chemical and heavy metal toxins from the body. The combination of resonant absorption and low heat makes this the detoxification method of choice for chronically ill patients as well as those who are well and wish to stay that way by reducing toxic burden.

What kind of benefits does far infrared sauna offer besides detoxification?

This type of sauna can help strengthen the immune system, condition the cardiovascular system, help with weight control, reduce cellulite and reduce stress.
