Far
infrared therapy provides two factors that are essential for good
health: cellular detoxification and good
circulation. The health of the whole system depends on the
movement of blood and energy throughout. Detoxification and good
circulation result in adequate exchange of nutrients into cells.
Far infrared
ray energy, is a part of the natural light spectrum of sunlight,
minus the skin damaging ultraviolet rays, which is why
NASA spacecraft has utilized this heat. Far-Infrared rays are rays
that promote bioprocesses such as increased metabolism and blood
circulation, and can raise core body temperature. Far-infrared can
penetrate up to 1-.5 inches, exciting the vibrational energy of
molecules and resonating with cellular frequencies. However, the
body is unable to perceive the deep heating effects of FIR because
its ability to sense heat is mainly at the skin level.
Over 2000
years ago, the famous Greek physician Parmenides stated "give me a
chance to create fever, and I will cure any disease". This
traditional wisdom has certainly stood the test of
time. A typical
infrared sauna session causes a brief 1-3 degree increase in body
temperature. Fever is the body’s defense against bacteria,
microbes and consequent infection. This beneficial side effect
triggers the production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by your
bone marrow and killer T cells by your thymus, resulting in
strengthening the immune system. Due to the healing power of
heat, Far-Infrared provides a safe natural form of detoxification
[reducing toxic body burdens of heavy metals, nonmetallic toxins,
volatile hydrocarbons, solvent residues, PCB's, pesticides,
herbicide residues and other synthetic chemicals], which is
critical for reversing health disorders and re-establishing good
health. Studies now confirm that diet and environmental
chemicals cause 95% of cancers. Furthermore, we have learned that
stored toxic chemicals can mimic any disease. Heating the body
helps destroy bacteria, viruses and tumors. Saunas work largely by
promoting detoxification through the sweat. Sweating promotes
elimination of toxic chemicals, heavy metals [Aluminum, Antimony,
Arsenic, Barium, Bismuth, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Nickel,
Thallium, Tin, Uranium], radiation and other toxins. The skin's
ability to eliminate poisons increases. One study found that the
sweat formed in conventional saunas is 95 to 97 percent water. In
infra-red saunas, only 80 to 85 percent of the sweat is composed
of water; the remaining 15 to 20 percent consists of cholesterol,
fat-soluble toxins, toxic heavy metals, sulfuric acid, sodium,
ammonia and uric acid. Saunas
offer many of the benefits of exercise while requiring much less
exertion. Saunas also stimulate cells to release toxins,
which can then be eliminated by the liver and bowel.
By dilating blood vessels and penetrating deeply
into he body, the sauna increases and strengthens circulation
without causing any stress on the system.
The infrared sauna makes it possible for people who
are otherwise unable to exert themselves or who do not follow
through on an exercising and conditioning program to achieve a
cardiovascular training effect. Medical research confirms the use
of a sauna provides cardiovascular conditioning as the body works
to cool itself and involves substantial increases in heart rate,
cardiac output and metabolic rate. The
inner temperature rise also affects the function of important
endocrine glands, the pituitary in particular, which regulates the
hormonal activity of the thyroid, adrenal, ovaries and testes.
Cellulite
is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes which are
trapped in pockets below the skin. Profuse sweating, induced by
the infrared sauna, can assist in eliminating this unwanted debris
from the body. In Asia and
Europe FIR has already revolutionized health and beauty products.
Infrared energy is not only safe, but also highly beneficial for
our bodies.
Sessions are
up to 30 mins. in length, and are at an intro price of $15.00 for
the month of Feb.
