“75% to 90% of all doctor’s office visits are for stress-related ailments.”
Unfortunately, this state is what most people experience on a daily basis and has become a root cause of disease because it hampers the body’s natural defensives. Because Clearlight InfraredTM saunas are less taxing, compared to solar radiation from the sun or heated air, the body responds by going into a parasympathetic state (PNS). This state becomes active when we rest, digest a good meal or heal. Blood pressure drops, heart rate slows as stress hormones decrease.
The Top 8 Far Infrared Sauna Health Benefits
WEIGHT LOSS & INCREASED METABOLISM
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, regular use of a sauna imparts a boost on the cardiovascular system as running. As you relax in the gentle infrared heat, your blood vessels open, sweat production increases to cool itself, and your heart pumps blood at a greater rate to boost circulation. This increase in metabolism will burn calories
MUSCLE PAIN RELIEF
Muscle relaxation from infrared heat is the best way to warm tissues which allows for greater flexibility and range of motion. The deep heat of far infrared saunas helps peripheral blood
vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Infrared heat also reduces soreness on nerve endings and muscle spasms as muscle joints and fibers are heated.
IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOST
The deep heating from the Clearlight Sauna True Wave II™ infrared heaters will raise your core body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. Fever is the body’s natural defense mechanism because it raises the temperature beyond the level certain infectious microbes need to reproduce. Scientists have found more evidence that elevated body temperature also helps certain types of immune cells to work better.
DETOXIFICATION
Daily sauna sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of accumulated highly toxic metals (lead, mercury, nickel, and cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sulfuric acid, and other organic and inorganic compounds.
“It has been known for decades that sweating is a wonderful way to get rid of stored chemicals, including heavy metals. In fact, sauna is one of the detoxification procedures used in the Environmental Units in Dallas (Dr. William Rea) and North Charleston (Dr. Allan Lieberman) where the sickest of folks go to heal.” Dr. Sherry Rogers, Total Wellness, May 2000.
IMPROVES APPEARANCE OF CELLULITE
Contrary to popular belief, Cellulite, (superficial pockets of trapped fat), which cause uneven dimpling or “orange peel” skin, is not related to obesity and is not always reduced by weight loss.
Since the far infrared radiant heat of the Clearlight Sauna® warms three times as deep as conventional saunas, it is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite. Sauna use and far infrared heat can increase heart rate and localized blood circulation, which reverses the accumulation of liquids in the fat cells to help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
EASE JOINT PAIN AND STIFFNESS
Time spent in an infrared sauna benefits patient suffering from many forms of arthritis. Radiant heat has also been effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other muscular-skeletal ailments. Much of the stiffness, aches and soreness that comes with aging is reduced or eliminated.
STRESS AND FATIGUE REDUCTION
Many Clearlight® Sauna customers comment on how much they look forward to their Clearlight Infrared Sauna™ session, as it’s a great time to get away and release any built-up tension and stress. It’s like having a day spa in your home, open all the time for your convenience.
Infrared Saunas have also been shown to affect the autonomic nervous system putting you in the parasympathetic (rest and digest) state allowing your body to heal.
IMPROVES SKIN
The profuse sweating achieved after just a few minutes in your Clearlight Sauna carries off deeply embedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and immaculately clean. Increased circulation draws your skin’s own natural nutrients to the surface.
You’ll see improved tone, elasticity, texture and fresh color. Increased blood circulation has also been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions and cuts. In addition, open wounds heal more quickly, reducing scarring.
