While most of us are familiar with traditional saunas and steam rooms at the gym, infrared saunas offer a new and more cleansing tool for detoxifying.
Using waves similar to the sun’s, an infrared sauna emits more radiant heat throughout the body. Because it heats the body and not just the air, all the body’s cells are affected, not just those at the surface. The increased circulation caused by infrared rays increases the amount of toxins removed through sweat.
By penetrating down to the level of tissue and joints, two results are achieved. First, it is easier for the body to release fat-soluble toxins such as pesticides and heavy metals. In addition, the body lowers its own inflammation levels, providing much-needed relief to patients with chronic inflammation issues like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and sports injuries.
