Far Infrared Saunas

What is Far Infrared Sauna Therapy?

Toxins and carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel) accumulate in the body during modern daily life. Styrene residue had been found in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies in 100% of human fat biopsies that were acquired. According to the EPA, our bodies accumulate 210 mcg of just plasticizers (phthalates) everyday. Other studies have demonstrated that most of us have between 400 and 800 chemical residues stored in the fat cells of our bodies. Most of these potentially harmful chemicals become stored within our fat cells and cannot be metabolized (excreted). This is especially so for individuals with slow metabolism.

Although the skin is a major eliminative organ, most people's skin is very inactive. Sedentary living and sun damage also inactivate the skin. As these chemicals build up, they alter our metabolism, cause enzyme dysfunction and nutritional deficiencies, create hormonal imbalances, and can damage brain chemistry. As the chemicals accumulate in different parts of the body and at different rates and in different combinations, there is a disturbingly large variety of different chronic illnesses which can result. Studies now confirm that diet and environmental chemicals cause up to 95% of cancers. Concentrations of these chemicals can mimic any disease and chronic diseases that were thought to have no known cause often disappear once toxic chemicals are gone. The Far-Infrared Sauna is the safest, most efficacious, economical way of depurating stored toxins.

The Far-Infrared Sauna's heat therapy stimulates the sweat glands which cleanse and detoxify the skin as it heats the tissues several inches deep, triggering mobilization of chemicals from fat storage which enhances the metabolic process and in essence, speeds up the body's natural process. Far Infrared Saunas heat the body while the air remains cool. Sweating begins quickly and the experience is not unpleasant.
