What is Infrared
Sauna Therapy?
The sun is our principal source of infrared heat. As the
sun's rays hit the surface of the earth, what we perceive
as heat is in fact far infrared heat waves. Infrared heat
is essential for all forms of life. Remember the feeling
as you lay on the sun-warmed beach soaking up the rays?
This is infrared heat in action. Unfortunately you are also
receiving the damaging ultra-violet rays.
The invisible and very safe far infrared heat produced by
our Saunas is able to penetrate well below the skin, which
enables the body to sweat at temperatures of 110 - 130 F
(much lower temperatures than conventional saunas).
How It Works In The Human
Body
The human body absorbs Infrared quickly and easily. The
water molecules in the body begin to vibrate which causes
a heat reaction through resonant absorption. When the temperature
under the skin increases, our capillaries expand which promotes
increased blood circulation. This response has a positive
effect on metabolism.
World Wide Clinical Reports
Over the past 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers
and clinicians have completed extensive research on infrared
treatments and report many provocative findings. These findings
support the health benefits of infrared therapy as a vital
method of healing.
In Germany, physicians in an independently developed forum
have used whole-body infrared therapy for over 80 years.
Infrared is being used as a valuable whole body healing
modality in many countries at this time. Unfortunately the
majority of the population is still unaware of this essential
tool for health and quality of life.

Reduces Stress and Fatigue
Perhaps the most immediate relief our infrared sauna offers
is simple relaxation as it melts away the stresses and tension
of "modern" life. Just a few minutes in the gentle
warmth of our SOLARUS Infrared Sauna gives you an overall
massaging effect, soothing nerves and muscles. You'll feel
rejuvenated and renewed, restored in both body and mind.
Removes Waste and Toxins
Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands,
releasing stored toxins and wastes. Daily sweating will
help detoxify your body as it rids itself of an accumulation
of highly toxic heavy metals (lead, mercury, nickel, and
cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sulfuric acid, and
other compounds.
Improves The Immune System
The infrared sauna's deep heat raises your inner body temperature,
inducing an artificial fever (mild hyperthermia). Fever
is the body's natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate
the immune response, as seen in the case of infection. This
enhanced immune system, combined with improved elimination
of toxins and wastes via intense sweating, increases your
overall health and resistance to disease.
Relieves Pain and Joint Stiffness
The deep heat of our infrared sauna helps peripheral blood
vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and
soft tissue injuries. In Europe, radiant heat therapy is
widely used to treat patients suffering form many forms
of arthritis. It has been proven effective in the treatment
of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness
and many other musculoskeletal ailments. For athletes who
push their bodies to the limit, creating lactic acid build-up,
which often results in stiffness and pain, the Infrared
sauna offers relief as it gently metabolizes and disperses
the lactic acid. Increased blood circulation carries off
metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood
to oxygen-depleted muscles so they recover faster. Muscles
relax most readily when tissues are warm, promoting greater
flexibility and range of motion. Much of the stiffness,
aches and soreness that come with aging is reduced or eliminated.
Burns Calories, Controls Weight
and Reduces Cellulite
As you relax in the gentle heat, your body is actually hard
at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and burning calories.
According to The Journal of the American Medical Association,
"in a single sauna session you may burn as many calories
as you would rowing or jogging for 30 minutes". Saunas
have traditionally been used by European beauticians to
help eliminate cellulite. Since the radiant heat of the
Infrared Sauna warms three times as deeply as conventional
saunas, it is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite.
Improves Skin
The profuse sweating achieved in the infrared sauna helps
to eliminate impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the
skin glowing and immaculately clean. Increased circulation
draws your skin's own natural nutrients to the surface.
You will see improved tone, elasticity, texture, and fresh
color. Increased blood circulation has also been shown to
relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, and cuts. In addition,
open wounds heal more quickly, reducing scarring.
Increases Blood Circulation
and Straightens
The Cardiovascular System
As your body increases sweat production to cool itself,
your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate
to boost circulation, providing the conditioning benefits
of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic
rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops, thus
boosting overall cardiovascular fitness.
