Benefits to Owning a Sauna

In today’s air there are many toxins that individuals want to remove from their bodies, some of which may even be compromising their immune system; saunas can help. A sauna is a good way to sweat out any toxins like heavy metals, alcohol, pollutants, fat and cholesterol. It is also know to help promote healing and the rebuilding of the immune system, help with an individuals mental health, and reduce any visible signs of cellulite.

Steam and infrared saunas provide your body with the means to educe sweating and provide the opportunity for toxins, such as heavy metal toxins, cholesterol and more to leave the body. The sweat from a steam sauna is 95-97% water and only 3-5% toxins. Whereas a infrared sauna would have 5 or 6 times that number; the sweat from a infrared sauna is only 80-85% water and 15-20% toxin emission. This means that an infrared sauna is more efficient at removing toxins from the body, though both types of saunas will remove some toxins from the body.

For years saunas have been known to promote immune systems through the warming of the body. Infrared heat therapy is also efficient in healing injuries, reducing scars, helping the appearance of various skin conditions, and much more.

Many individuals suffer Seasonal Affective Disorder which is a disorder that is widely known to affect the moods of an individual throughout the different seasons. Individuals experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder can experience many symptoms such as depression. Infrared heat therapy imitates the sun, as it produces the same infrared rays; though it does not produce the harmful radiation that the sun does. In doing this infrared saunas are able to imitate the positive effects of the sun without posing any negative consequences, helping individuals with seasonal affective disorder cope with it.

Another condition suffered by many is Cellulite; which appears when the topography of the skin changes. Infrared heat therapy is known to help and it is used by many professionals to reduce any visible signs of cellulite. The reasoning behind this is that infrared rays breakdown toxins and fats in the skin causing the skin texture and ton to change and allowing the skin to appear smoother.

An Infrared sauna provides many health benefits with few risks. They provide a means of detoxification, promote a proper immune system, help aid your mental health, encourage healthier looking skin, and much more.
