Detoxification Health Benefits
New technology has brought to light the detoxification benefits of using a far infrared sauna. Whether you use the
personal, portable infrared sauna, a multi-person pre-manufactured sauna or you build your own custom infrared sauna; research has shown
that there are extended detoxification health benefits from the use of this device.
Detoxification comes by the way of increased perspiration due to the deep heating nature of the far infrared sauna. While a conventional
sauna, one that you would most likely find in a gym or near a swimming pool, heats the air around you; a far infrared sauna actually heats
objects, causing a more direct heat that has a much cooler atmosphere. This is why it is much easier to breathe when using an infrared sauna
as opposed to a steam based sauna; the air around you does not need to be heated for you to receive the warming and detoxification benefits.
In a detoxification study done by American researchers they discovered that the sweat produced from a conventional sauna was around 95% water. In the same detoxification study the results pointed out that sweat derived from the use of a far infrared sauna was approximately 80% water with the remaining percentages
being a mix of cholesterol, toxic heavy metals and an array of other unwanted chemical and mineral substances that can prevent our immune
system from functioning properly, therefore robbing us of a much more healthy existence. The detoxification of these toxins and other problematic substances are
thus removed with greater efficiency when using a far infrared sauna.
Far infrared saunas are said to be up to 7 times more effective than a conventional sauna in regards to detoxification. Toxins that are stated
to be removed during the detoxification process include sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, lead, mercury, nicotine, alcohol, ammonia, sulfuric acid an other environmental and man
made toxins. There is a detoxification debate amongst professionals and researchers as to what extent mercury is removed due to the process using a far
infrared sauna, but many doctors and researchers sing the praise of the healing properties of this hypothermic therapy and the health
benefits derived from the use of it. In all the research that has been done, the general results of detoxification have been astonishingly clear; even if a
few of the precise detoxification details are still under debate.
Are Far infrared saunas and detoxification safe? They sure are. In fact, panels that produce similar infrared rays are used in hospitals to warm newborn babies. Even NASA has used infrared heat to keep their astronauts warm. So no need to worry. Infrared energy has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you a sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation.
