Infra Red Sauna
Health Benefits
Below we have listed out the health benefits of using the Infra Red Sauna.
Detoxification and Body Cleansing
Detoxification is a bodily process that transforms health threatening toxic substances from our environment, diets, as well as our own bodies into something harmless or excreted. Sweating is the body’s natural way to get rid of harmful toxins and cleansing our bodies through the skin. The Infrared Sauna Waves penetrate deep below the skin to help the body to get rid of toxins buried deep under the skin.

Skin Purification
In the sauna, skin is cleansed and dead cells are replaced, keeping the skin in good working condition. Sauna heat also relaxes facial tensions, improves skin elasticity. Sweating rinses bacteria out of the epidermal layer and the sweat ducts.
Cardio Vascular Workout
Finnish researchers have reported that the regular use of saunas helps maintain the blood vessels in a healthier condition. Vessels become more elastic and pliable longer due to regular dilation and contraction from the process of heating and cooling the body repeatedly.
Lower Blood Pressure and Improved Circulation
Blood Vessel dilation brings blood closer to the surface of the skin and, as blood vessels expand to accommodate increased blood flow, circulation in the extremeties, and the blood pressure gets lower. The effect on the blood pressure is temporary, but medical research shows that frequent sauna bathing can make a persons blood pressure level also stay lower.
