(29-10-11) Infrared saunas safely detoxify the body and help heal injuries

by S. D. Wells

(NaturalNews) Thousands of massage therapists are now incorporating infrared
sauna sessions into their menu of services, and clients are routinely
requesting the new technology for elimination of toxins, healing muscles,
increasing circulation, firming skin, erasing sun damage, relieving joint pain
and tension, and even for recovering from chemotherapy.

Infrared saunas are a noninvasive, drug free form of light therapy that can
penetrate the body as much as three inches, heating muscle tissue and even
internal organs without heating the surrounding air. The process promotes the
elimination of medications, alcohol, nicotine, and other carcinogens that
frequent the bloodstream. The saunas also facilitate weight loss, reduce
stress, and boost the immune system.

Unlike traditional saunas which use air and steam, infrared sauna's heaters
emit radiant heat which is absorbed directly into the body. Also, where the
traditional sauna helps the body perspire at an average ratio of 97% water and
3% waste, the infrared sauna helps the body perspire 80% water and 20% waste
and toxins.

Therapists who use these systems brag about the ability to heat the bones
across the ligaments and nerve endings of their clients, creating almost
immediate results for removing muscle pain, especially that associated with
arthritis. Some therapists even use the device on their own muscles at the end
of a long day.

Many doctors are recommending infrared therapy to athletes for sports injuries
and chronic pain. The therapy is also being used for chronic fatigue syndrome
(CFS), which several national health organizations have estimated to affect
more than one million Americans. People with ailments and diseases of the
nervous system, like fibromyalgia, are also praising infrared therapy.

Similar to exercise, infrared sauna therapy is a safe and effective way to
improve circulation, and can be especially beneficial for patients with
diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. It has also been shown to
improve skin tone and complexion by releasing toxins.

For those who can't tolerate the high temperatures and humidity of traditional
saunas, the infrared sauna enables core body temperature to increase without
increasing surface body temperature. By increasing heart rate and cardiac
output, sitting for just thirty minutes in this sauna can burn up to 600
calories.

Even though infrared technology was first discovered by NASA scientists during
space exploration, its popularity has brought it "down to earth" at reasonable
prices. Now, at a fraction of what they cost just ten years ago, infrared
saunas are popping up in homes and natural health spas around the world.
