Expels toxins – Detoxifies. Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel) and mercury accumulate in our bodies daily. Infrared heat therapy stimulates sweat glands which cleanse and detoxify the skin.
Reduces stress – Infrared heat therapy reduces muscle tension and relaxes the body before a massage. For example, many masseurs use infrared to further increase the effects of the massage.
Benefits for your skin – Infrared improves circulation, expels harmful chemicals and dead cells from the surface of the skin. All these benefits give the skin tone and a better complexion. They reduce wrinkles due to aging.
Weight control – Sweating is part of the body's complex thermoregulation process that increases heart rate and metabolism. This process requires a large amount of energy, reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. The fat becomes soluble in water at 42°C. When the body sweats it expels fats and toxins.
Relieves Pain – Infrared heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation brings more oxygen to painful areas of the body and, by reducing discomfort, shortens healing times. Many people use infrared heat to successfully treat problems such as osteoarthritis, muscle spasms and rheumatism.
It provides the same effects as physical activity - By undergoing 20 or 30 minutes of infrared sauna the body is stimulated and sweats as if it had run 10 km. These infrared saunas are ideal for those who do not have time to do regular physical exercise or cannot subject themselves to excessive efforts.
Improves the immune system – In case of fever the body heats up to eliminate viruses and attacks foreign agents. Subsequently the body is able to expel the invading organisms more easily because the immune system is constantly activated by this "artificial fever". Recent studies have shown that the effects of colds, fevers and flu-like conditions can be dramatically reduced if treated promptly with infrared heat therapy.
