Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy
We are pleased to offer an Infrared Sauna Therapy in Wayne, PA. An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to emit infrared radiant heat which is absorbed directly into the human body, unlike traditional saunas which heat the body indirectly via air or steam. The Infrared Sauna is 7 times more detoxifying than a regular sauna.
Far Infrared Therapy Sauna strengthens the Cardiovascular System by causing an increase in your heart rate, cardiac output, and decrease diastolic blood pressure. Many people who are wheel chair bound have benefited greatly from the cardiovascular effects. This beneficial heart workout leads to desired cardiovascular training and conditioning effects.
One of the current leading benefits of an infrared sauna therapy is detoxing your body, internally and externally. Scientists in Japan report that in the FIR treatment of clogged capillary vessels, heat expands the capillaries and then initiates the process of dissolving hidden toxins. Far Infrared thereby promotes elimination of fats, chemicals and toxins from the blood: poisons, carcinogenic heavy metals, toxic substances from food processing, lactic acid, free fatty acids, and subcutaneous fat associated with aging and fatigue, excess sodium associated with hypertension, and uric acid which causes pain. Furthermore, if sebaceous glands are activated, accumulated cosmetics in pores can be eliminated through the skin (sweat and oil glands) rather than by the kidneys.
Since infrared heat is able to penetrate inside your body up to two inches, you will sweat up to three times more than with the traditional saunas.
The Result: The toxins inside your body that make you feel sick, tired, and cause you to retain weight are eliminated. With an infrared sauna more carcinogenic heavy metals, sodium, cholesterol, nicotine, and alcohol are eliminated than with a standard type sauna.
Far Infrared Sauna Therapy strengthens immunity by stimulating increased production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by the bone marrow and killer T-cells by the thymus. This has been proven to increase the body’s ability to fight off bacteria, colds, flus, and other ailments.
Far Infrared Sauna also strengthens your immunity by creating an artificial fever. Fever is a natural healing response of the body. The function of the immune system is increased naturally during a fever, while viral and bacterial growth is slowed, weakening its hold. This helps the body ward off invading organisms. A FIR heat treatment in the early stages of a cold or flu has been known to stop the disease before the symptoms occur.
Far Infrared Sauna Therapy treatment can help reduce inflammation which helps reduce pain in joints.
Cancer cannot survive in an environment of temperatures more than 42 degrees Celsius (102.2 degrees Fahrenheit). In addition to its detoxifying effects, far infrared heat actually helps kill cancer cells, increasing the effectiveness of chemotherapy and reducing the side-effects of conventional therapies . At the same time, it boosts the body’s regenerative abilities and decreases pain by increasing circulation, which makes it beneficial in treating other conditions such as arthritis, gout, poor circulation, neuralgia and abnormal nerve function.
Far Infrared Sauna Therapy heat expands capillaries which stimulates increased blood flow, regeneration, circulation and oxygenation. Increased blood flow has been proven to improve hair, skin, erectile dysfunction, aid in the healing of injuries, and recovery of muscle and joint stiffness.
Introducing heat deep into your muscles produces an increased blood flow and temperature rise similar to the levels measured during brisk exercise. Temperature elevation also produces an increased blood flow and dilation directly in capillaries, arterioles, and venules, probably through direct action on their smooth muscles.
Far Infrared Sauna Therapy heat increases blood circulation throughout your skin which is mandatory for glowing, beautiful, and youthful skin. Infrared heat penetrates deep into pores pushing out toxins while rejuvenating your skin. To truly slow the aging process it is essential to push these pollutants out of your pores instead of trapping them with lotions and makeup. There is no better feeling than a healthy sweat in a sauna while drinking fresh water.
Another benefit to Infrared Sauna therapy is the break down of cellulite. Cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of water, fat and wastes trapped deep in pockets under your skin. Many Dermatologists are now recommending the use of infrared saunas with any anti-cellulite program as the profuse sweating helps clear the unwanted debris from your body.

Far infrared saunas therapy session have been proven to reduce pain sensation by getting heat deep into the free-nerve endings in tissues. Pain is often associated with a lack of blood supply to the injured area due to tension or spasms. The introduction of heat, deep into these areas helps to increase circulation and reduce muscle spasms.
Far Infrared promotes rebuilding of injured tissue by having a positive effect on the fibroblasts (connective tissue cells necessary for the repair of injury). Furthermore, it increases growth of cells, DNA synthesis, and protein synthesis all necessary during tissue repair and regeneration.
