BENEFITS OF ELECTRIC INFRA RED SAUNA
Inhibits The Sympathetic Nervous System - Sympathetic inhibition enhances immune system activity, relaxes the muscles and nervous system, rests the thyroid and adrenal glands and promotes improved digestion and absorption of nutrients. Sympathetic inhibition also helps relieve blood stagnation.
Sweating - Evaporation of water on the skin's surface has a cooling effect. The source of water in sweat is interstitial fluid which is similar to lymph and contains many chemicals. The sweating caused by exercise is less effective for detoxification because it causes sympathetic activation that reduces the activity of organs of elimination and shunts blood away from these organs.
Improving Oxygenation - Sauna therapy improves oxygenation in four ways:
• As the body attempts to reduce its temperature, more blood flows to the lungs and the skin where it picks up more oxygen. b. Increased pulse and stroke volume pumps more blood through the entire body. c. Repeated sauna use activates the skin, increasing its ability to transfer oxygen to the blood. d. Clearing infections and congestion in the lungs may also increase oxygenation.
Dilating Peripheral Vessels - It's the primary mechanism used to reduce body temperature.
Relieving Internal Congestion - Saunas powerfully move blood throughout the body. Sympathetic inhibition combined with peripheral vasodilation forces blood to the body surface, reducing congestion in the liver, kidneys and other internal organs.
Relaxing Muscles and Enhancing Flexibility of Tendons and Ligaments - Reduced sympathetic stimulation, improved blood flow and release of toxins causes this to occur.
Relieving Pain - Sauna therapy can reduce muscle tension and spasms, relieve ischemia due to impaired circulation, remove irritants and toxins, disable microorganisms and has direct effects on free nerve endings.
Increases Body Temperature - Body temperature may increase 1-4 0 C. Hyperthermia has the following effects: a. Hastening the death of weaker cells - Examples are cancer cells, fungi and other parasites, cells infected with viruses, cells with damaged DNA, cells with chemical toxins, cells containing radioactive minerals, cells containing toxic levels of metals, and other defective cells. b. Producing heat shock proteins - These special heat shock proteins powerfully enhance the immune system and improve cellular energy production, respiration, elimination and other cell functions. c. Improving genetics - Saunas assist in improving DNA three ways - Sweating, heat shock proteins and heating the body that helps kill weaker mutated cells. d. Increasing the heart rate and enhancing circulation - Increasing cardiac output while shunting the blood to the body surface increases blood circulation to many areas of the body. e. Directly disabling microorganisms - Many bacteria, viruses and fungi are more sensitive to destruction by heat.
Shortening Cluster Chains - Infra red energy shortens chains of polluted water molecules. This promotes the removal of heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium. This improves absorption of nutrients and elimination of waste products.
Color Therapy - The red end of the spectrum nourishes the adrenal glands, liver and kidneys. It also acts on the aura or emotional body to help loosen emotional bonds. It moves vital energy downward from the head toward the lower centers where it is usually deficient.
Deeper Tissue Penetration and More Yang Therapy - The three powerful infrared lamps heat the tissues up to three inches inside the body. |
