Sauna’s Health Benefits
Detoxification and Body Cleansing
Detoxification is a bodily process that removes health-threatening toxic waste that is accumulated
by our body from our environment, day-to-day stress, diet, and chemicals. Sweating is the body's
natural way of getting rid of harmful toxins and cleansing our bodies by extracting poisons out
through the skin. The infrared sauna waves penetrate deep below the skin and heat up the body’s
core temperature which naturally supports detoxification.
Weight Loss
Infrared Sauna is an effective way to support any weight loss program. According to the Journal of
the American Medical Association, a sauna session can burn between 300-700 calories. Also, Dr. Oz.
explained in the Oprah show that an infrared sauna session can burn up to 700 calories. A 20-minute
sauna session is equal to a 20-minute long jog run. However effective, please keep in mind that a
healthy diet and exercise are recommended whether you use an infrared sauna or not. Sauna simply
enhances weight loss results and may speed up the weight loss process. Note: Following a healthy
diet and exercise is highly recommended. Please always consult with your physician before
attempting to begin any type of weight loss program.
Pain and Arthritis Relief
Infrared waves penetrate deep into the muscles for long-lasting pain relief. Moreover, patients with
rheumatoid arthritis, using an infrared sauna results in a short-term improvement regarding pain and
stiffness, reduction in fatigue, and a trend towards long-term beneficial effects.
Skin Purification
Infrared sauna purifies and rejuvenates the skin. It may assist in acne reduction, toning, and
detoxification of skin cells. Sauna heat also relaxes facial tension, thus improves the skin's elasticity.
Sweating rinses bacteria out of the epidermal layer and sweat ducts.
Cardiovascular Workout
Scientific research has proven that regular use of infrared sauna dilates blood vessels, therefore, may
prevent blood clots, while maintaining healthy circulation and blood pressure. Vessels become more
elastic and pliable longer due to the regular dilation and contraction from the process of heating and
cooling the body repeatedly.
