How does this help the immune system?

A typical sauna session will cause a brief (and minor) increase in body temperature, identical to the body’s defense mechanism producing an artificial fever to fight against bacteria, microbes, and infection. The beneficial side effect of this induced temperature increase is immune system improvement resulting from increased production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by your bone marrow and killer T cells by your thymus. When toxins are present in our body blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body’s immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult for the body to fight disease.

How does an Infrared Sauna remove toxins from the body?

When toxins are present in our body blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body’s immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult for the body to fight disease. When the infrared heat is applied the large water molecules in our bodies that contain toxic gases like sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, lead , mercury and chlorine vibrate and are broken down. The encapsulated toxic materials and gases are then released. Infrared heat is often used in the treatment of clogged capillaries, the heat expands the capillaries and skin pores to expel the toxins from the body. One can tolerate and even enjoy Infrared heat for longer periods of time than the heat from a Hot tub or steam bath, therefore the sweating from infrared heat promotes the most beneficial detoxification.

How does the Sauna prevent heart disease?

Sauna treatments have a stimulating effect on the cardiovascular system. The increased blood circulation, but not blood pressure, stimulates the tiny blood vessels in the skin to expand accommodating the increased blood flow. The increased heart rate has the same positive benefit as much tedious strenuous exercise, while you are relaxing in your very own spa.

How does a Sauna reduce stress and fatigue?

High levels of stress put continuous strain in the autonomic nervous system and are one of the elusive causes of many chronic diseases. Heat therapy loosens the muscles and relieves muscular aches and pains. By facilitating the expansion of capillary vessels, thereby improving circulation, physical stress levels are reduced.
