Infrared Therapy

Infrared therapy can help with the following

1. Detoxification
Sweating is one of the body’s most natural ways to eliminate toxins, making it a crucial part of detoxification. When compared to traditional Swedish saunas, infrared saunas allow you to eliminate about seven times more toxins.

2. Relaxation
Infrared sauna therapy promotes relaxation by helping to balance your body’s level of cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone. The heat generated by the sauna will also help to relax muscles and relieve tension throughout the body, allowing you to relax and de-stress.

3. Pain Relief
If you suffer from muscle aches or joint pain, infrared saunas can relieve this form of inflammation by increasing circulation and relaxing your muscles.

4. Weight Loss
The heat generated by an infrared sauna will cause your core temperature to increase, and then your body has to work harder to lower your core temperature and your body will burn calories, resulting in weight loss.  It increases basal metabolism by 14% each degree your body temperature goes up by. Increasing metabolic rate means it can burn off anywhere from 200 to 600 calories in a half-hour session.

5. Improved Circulation
As the heat from infrared saunas increases your core body temperature, your circulation will increase along with it. Consistent infrared sauna sessions, especially in the middle-infrared level, can stimulate blood flow, improve muscle recovery, and decrease pain and inflammation after intense exercise.

6. Skin Purification
Infrared sauna technology can help purify your skin by eliminating toxins from your pores and increasing circulation, resulting in clearer, softer, and healthier-looking skin.One of the most important part of our Shape, Tone and Slim Program is the infrared lights with wave lengths that has the power to penetrate the skin barrier and to act at a depth which cellulite and fat cells gather.

It's Amazing for your Health - Lets look at the science....

There are so many health benefits to Infrared Therapy, it's too numerous to name.  The key to the dramatic improvements generated by infrared light therapy is nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a short-lived gas that is crucial to the health of the arteries. This powerful signaling molecule relaxes the arteries, helps regulate blood pressure, fights free radicals, and discourages platelets from clumping together in the blood vessels. Infrared energy prompts the release of nitric oxide, which enhances blood flow in the immediate vicinity, bringing oxygen, nutrient for pain relief, visibly improved skin, and wellness.

Infrared also works on improving mitochondrial health, which are the energy parts of your cells.  Mitochondria, found in most cells, can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into cellular energy ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the fuel your cells need for all of their varied functions, including metabolism.  When your cells function better, you will feel you function better.  People notice improvement on the skin, improve look of scars, improve in mood and energy.
Is Infrared Therapy Safe?
No adverse effects have been reported with infrared, and this type of treatment seems to be safe for the majority of people, even those who can’t normally tolerate other types of saunas or heat treatments. Infrared light is the invisible part of natural sunlight that feels like heat when we are exposed to it. It’s completely safe (some hospitals use it to warm newborns) and you can be exposed to it for hours since it does not have any harmful UV rays.  Infrared wavelengths are luckily too long to be perceived by the eyes, so they don’t damage sensitive eye tissues like other light therapies can. Infrared light is also considered “gentle radiant heat,” so although it can penetrate up to 1.5 inches (almost four centimeters) beneath the skin, it isn’t painful and doesn’t cause a burning effect.

Contraindications
Contraindicated for those who have a fever, neoplasia or acute inflammation. Safe for all ages.
