The benefits include:

• Skin rejuvenation. Sauna use slowly restores elimination through the skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body and a major eliminativechannel. In most people, it is inactive, congested and toxic. Sun exposure,use of synthetic clothing, bathing in chlorinated water and exposure tohundreds of chemicals damage the skin. Excessive sympathetic nervoussystem activity and emotions such as fear, anger and guilt cause blood to bewithdrawn from the skin, contributing to inactivity of the skin.

• Enhanced sweating. Sweating in a sauna is a by-product of applying heat to the body. The sweating process gently and safely helps eliminate all heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Medical studies demonstrate that most toxins can be eliminated through the skin, relieving the burden on the kidneys and liver. Sweating increases dramatically in most people after several months of daily sauna use. Sweating during exercise is not nearly as effective for detoxification because exercise activates the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nervous activity inhibits toxin elimination.

• Exercise benefits. Saunas provide many of the benefits of exercise with much less expenditure of energy. These include enhanced circulation and oxidation of the tissues. Repeated sauna use can lower elevated blood pressure and improve the elasticity of the arteries. Saunas are most helpful for cardiovascular rehabilitation, arthritis, allergies, skin conditions and chemical sensitivity.

• Decongesting the internal organs. Heating the body powerfully shunts blood toward the skin to dissipate heat. This decongests the internal organs and greatly stimulates circulation. Sinuses, joints and many other tissues benefit greatly.

• Fever therapy (hyperthermia) for infections. Raising body temperature powerfully assists the body to kill bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses. Many people have a low body temperature and, for this reason, cannot get rid of chronic infections. Common sites of infections are the sinuses, ears, eyes, bladder, throat and intestines.

• Tumors, radiation poisoning and mutated cells. Hyperthermia also helps kill other types of abnormal cells. Tumors, for example, tolerate heat poorly. Raising body temperature hastens their death. Though not a conventional method, hyperthermia is a well-researched therapy for cancer. Heat also disables or kills cells mutated by radiation or damaged by other toxins.

• Inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system. This is tremendous benefit not offered by many therapies of any kind. It enables the body to relax, heal and regenerate itself much faster, causing recovery from many types of ailments.

Do not use if pregnant, have serious inflammation, a fever, a communicable disease, acute bleeding, or intoxicated.

Medications

Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician or a pharmacist for possible changes in the drugs effect when the body is exposed to infrared waves or elevated body temperature. Diuretics, barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms.  Anticholinergics such as amitryptaline may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent, heat stroke. Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.

Children

The core body  temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. When using with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

The Elderly

The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core body temperature. When using with the elderly, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

Cardiovascular Conditions Individuals   with   cardiovascular  conditions or  problems  (hypertension  / hypo  tension), congestive  heart  failure,  impaired  coronary circulation  or  those  who  are  taking  medications  which  might  affect  blood  pressure should  exercise caution  when  exposed  to prolonged heat. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in an effort to transfer internal  body  heat  to  the  outside  environment via the skin (perspiration)  and respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential  to increase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature.

Alcohol / Alcohol Abuse

Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication  decreases a person’s judgment; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress.

Chronic Conditions  / Diseases Associated With a Reduced Ability to Sweat or Perspire Multiple  Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating.

 Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone To Bleeding

The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding.

Fever

An individual who has a fever should not use an infrared sauna until the fever subsides.

Insensitivity  to Heat

An individual with insensitivity to heat should not use an infrared sauna.

Pregnancy

Pregnant women must consult a physician before using an infrared sauna.

Menstruation

Women could not use the sauna during the menstrual period. Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase their menstrual flow.

Joint Injury

If you have a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48 hours after an injury or until the swollen symptoms subside. If you have a joint or joints that are chronically hot and swollen, these joints may respond  poorly  to  vigorous  heating  of  any kind.

Implants

Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physi- cian prior to using an infrared sauna.

The magnets used to assemble our saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doc- tor the possible risks this may cause.
