Our bodies use this light energy and turn it
into heat energy which causes our blood vessels and capillaries
to dilate warming the body. Based on scientific research
we have found that sweating allows the body to get rid of toxins
within the body as well as increasing the metabolic rate.
Using a far infra red sauna is like exercising regularly,
increasing metabolic rate and cell growth but without the need
for exercise. This is ideal if you are unable to do any
strenuous activity.
Infrared Saunas and Seasonal Affective
Disorder (S.A.D.)
Seasonal Affective Disorder affects many people
living in colder climates during the winter months. When
your body receives less lights it cause an imbalance in the
hypothalamus. SAD can cause very extreme depression as
well as mild "winter blues" depression. This is why many
people are turning to Far Infra-red Saunas for treatment which
has a success rate of 85% in diagnosed sufferers.
The reason it works so well is because infrared provides the
closest alternative to natural daylight.
Pain Relief
Because infrared dilates the blood vessels and
increases circulation, oxygen is therefore able to reach the
areas causing pain. People who suffer from muscle spasms,
arthritis and rheumatism often find this to be a successful
treatment.
Detox
Studies have shown that the sweat we produce
when using a traditional sauna is 95% water whereas with an
infrared sauna, only 80% is water. The remaining 20% is
made up of metals, cholesterol and other nasty materials.
As you will no doubt know, toxins in the body is not a good
thing and can prevent us from enjoying a healthy life. So
if you are not sure whether to choose a Finish sauna or an
infrared
sauna, then going by these figures you will definitely want to
go for the latter.
