BENEFITS & PROTOCOLS

The Top 8 Far Infrared Sauna Health Benefits

WEIGHT LOSS & INCREASED METABOLISM

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, regular use of a sauna imparts a similar boost on the cardiovascular system as running. As you relax in the gentle infrared heat, your body is hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and burning calories.

As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder to pump blood at a greater rate to boost circulation. This increase in your metabolism may burn calories.

TEMPORARY MUSCLE PAIN RELIEF

Using an infrared sauna as intended as part of a healthy lifestyle promotes the temporary increase in blood flow to muscles and may offer temporary relief of arthritic pain.

Muscles relax best when tissues are warm for greater flexibility and range of motion. Far Infrared heat may help relieve muscle tension by increasing the thermal energy in your muscles.

BETTER SLEEP

Maintaining a cool body temperature is important for falling asleep. It explains why you have trouble sleeping on especially hot summer nights and why it’s easier to sleep when your bedroom is cool and dark. You can hack your body’s thermoregulation process by warming your body in an infrared sauna then allowing it to cool down after.  This quick cool-down speeds up the process for your brain to fall asleep.  The end result is a cool body that’s primed for sleep.

DETOXIFICATION

It has been known for a while that enhanced sweat production plays a major role in the benefits of the Hubbard protocol as it coincides with an increased turnover of these toxins in fat tissue. In fact, sweating alone has been used to help improve uremia, which is a build-up of toxins in the blood in patients with kidney disease.

Since sweat contains POPs and heavy metals, and sweat volume can reach two liters per hour in those who are acclimated; this suggests that sweating in a sauna may be a good way to eliminate these toxins.

IMPROVES APPEARANCE OF CELLULITE

Since the far infrared radiant heat of an infrared sauna increases thermal energy in tissue, it is effective at temporarily reducing cellulite. There is a direct link between the slowing of metabolic rates and the storage of toxins in fat cells.

Sauna use and far infrared heat can temporarily increase heart rate and promote a temporary increase in localized blood circulation. This may reverse the above-mentioned trends towards the accumulation of liquids in the fat cells to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

EASE JOINT PAIN AND STIFFNESS

Infrared heat may temporarily ease joint pain and stiffness.  Increased thermal energy to the joints may promote a temporary increase in blood flow.  Increased thermal energy may reduce stiffness and increase range of motion.

STRESS AND FATIGUE REDUCTION

Just a few minutes in the gentle warmth of an infrared sauna will help you feel relaxed, rejuvenated and renewed.

Many sauna customers comment on how much they look forward to their session, as it’s a great time to get away and release any built-up tension and stress. It’s like having a day spa in your home, open all the time for your convenience.

BETTER SKIN

The profuse sweating achieved after just a few minutes in your Clearlight Sauna will allow impurities in the pores to come out.  The temporary increase in local blood circulation may help reduce the risk of certain chronic skin conditions.
