The Therapeutic Benefits of our Far Infrared Sauna

Hyperthermic Detoxification Therapy Using The Far Infrared Sauna

Saunas and steam baths have been used for centuries by cultures around the world to bring about detoxification. Traditionally, saunas have been used to improve mental clarity, reduce pain, and promote longevity.

In the past few years, hyperthermic (sweat) therapy has been studied quite extensively, and several papers on this subject have appeared in the scientific literature. Through this research, the far infrared sauna has come to be recognized by health practitioners worldwide as one of the most effective methods in the elimination of both chemical and accumulated heavy metal toxins from the body.

Toxic metals and waste such as mercury, lead, nickel, cadmium, alcohol, nicotine, sodium, cholesterol and other forms of organic toxins such as pesticide residues are excreted in high quantities in the sweat during properly conducted hyperthermic therapy sessions.

Far infrared waves penetrate the body and are absorbed selectively by tissues as the water in the cell reacts in a process called “resonant absorption”. This “resonant absorption” occurs when the frequency of the far infrared waves match that of the water in the cell, causing toxins to be dropped off into the blood stream and subsequently released through sweat, feces, and urine. Because the liver and kidneys are not required for this process, these organs are largely unburdened by hyperthermic therapy and toxins are even able to leave the body of a person whose liver or kidney function may be impaired or overburdened with toxins. This can bring about significant advantages for chronically ill patients whose livers and kidneys are already under toxic stress.

Improves Skin

Perspiration expels toxins carried in the lymph fluid and purges clogged pores of deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving you with glowing radiant skin. An increase in blood circulation encourages a healthy flow of nutrients to your skin that in turn helps to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, and burns. It also encourages the healing of lesions and minor cuts.

Burns Calories and Controls Weight

One 30-minute session in a SeaMax Sauna burns as many calories as 60 minutes of swimming or jogging. A SeaMax Sauna is an unsurpassed expeller of toxins that are directly related to metabolic imbalances in the body and cause poor digestion and weight gain. Medical evidence suggests that in many cases, effective weight loss cannot occur until these toxins are removed first. Although weight loss due to perspiration (water loss) is quickly regained, the calories burned during one short sauna session do not return.

Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water, and body wastes that are trapped in pockets near the surface of the skin. SeaMax sauna can reduce this condition, as profuse sweating helps clear this form of unwanted debris from the body after being broken down by the far infrared heat. European beauty specialists confirm that regular use of an infrared sauna will greatly speed any anti-cellulite program. Due to the depth of heat penetration into cellulite and tissues, your SeaMax sauna is very effective in cellulite removal.

Relieves Pain

Radiant heat expands and dilates peripheral blood vessels. This action brings nutrient rich blood to the area experiencing pain, giving relief to muscles and soft tissue injuries. In addition, increased blood circulation delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles, helps reduce pain, and speeds up the body's natural recovery process. It is effective in helping reduce the pain of arthritis, back pain, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other muscular-skeletal ailments.

Strengthens the Cardiovascular System

As you relax in your SeaMax sauna, your heart is hard at work, pumping blood at a greater rate and giving you similar results as seen with rigorous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops, resulting in improved blood circulation and full cardiovascular conditioning. In fact NASA concluded that while in space, far infrared treatment was the most effective method of cardiovascular workout for astronauts.

Reduces Stress and Fatigue

In addition to relaxing and loosening your tight, sore muscles, radiant heat therapy also relieves the stiffness, aches and soreness associated with aging. Continuous strain on the autonomic nervous system can lead to high stress levels, the precursor to many chronic ailments. With continued use of the SeaMax sauna, the dilation of blood capillaries in combination with the loosening of muscle tension will help to reduce overall stress levels.

Significantly lower operating costs 

A 30 minute session, including a 5-10 minute warm-up in a SeaMax sauna, costs about 10 cents of electricity. Both infrared saunas and steam rooms can be used to relax and unwind. However, some of the outstanding advantages infrared saunas have over steam rooms is their quick warm-up, better heat efficiency, and low maintenance feature, each of which plays a key role in its low operating cost. The far infrared waves of the Seamax sauna penetrate the skin, effectively helping to rid the body of embedded toxic metals picked up from the environment. While the kidneys flush out many of these toxins, a daily sweat is more efficient in reducing the body's accumulation of lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol.
