The benefits of an infrared sauna have only recently been explored by the health care field. Health care practitioners have recommended heat therapy for patients for many, many years, but the traditional heated saunas of the past are rapidly being replaced by infrared sauna heat for the preferred method of heat treatment.
One of the best advantages of using an infrared sauna is for pain relief. A burst of infrared heat that is released penetrates deeply into the underlying muscle tissues and 93% of this heat is absorbed directly into the skin. When heating up the inner tissues of your body, you experience vasodilatation of the blood vessels, which can greatly reduce general achiness, muscle spasms and stiff joints. Infrared heat used to treat pain from fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis is also becoming more and more common. Studies have shown that that using heat within 24-48 hours also great reduces inflammation and helps heal sprains and muscle strain, which is another benefit of heat therapy.
Using infrared sauna heat therapy is also a great way to increase tissue elasticity. By exposing your skin to heat, you can increase tone, elasticity and texture. By directly increasing blood circulation you bring fresh nutrients to the surface and when you begin to sweat, you release inner toxins through the surface of the skin. Infrared sauna heat can also be seen in working the ligaments, joints, tendons and fascia tissue. With heat therapy you can improve the flexibility of your skin measurably and improve your health.
Some new and exciting benefits of infrared sauna heat can been witnessed in cancer therapy and in relieving chronic ear infections. Some scientific researchers believe that exposure to infrared heat can help stimulate your body’s immune system by increasing your body temperature. It is a well known fact that some forms of bacteria and viruses have a poor tolerance to heat and increase body temperature can stimulate production of more white blood cells and improve the immune system. Heat therapy can also open up clogged nasal passages and in turn allow for better drainage and can help prevent fluid accumulation in the inner ear, which can relieve the pain of chronic ear infections.
You should always check with your physician and check with your pharmacist prior to beginning an infrared sauna therapy regimen. The owners of Sunlife Sauna have been veterans of the health care industry for over 25 years and are dedicated to providing the public with education on the various healthful benefits of having a home sauna.

The Joy of an In Home Infrared Sauna
Owning your own personal home sauna allows you to experience a spa-like experience anytime you want. You don’t have to worry about driving to your local spa or health club, and you and your family will get the added benefits that come from having one in your own home.
Many people who enjoy a traditional sauna are quite surprised to learn that owning a 2-person infrared sauna can be very affordable. A traditional sauna is like a sweat box and sweating at very hot temperatures can be very uncomfortable for long periods of time. Those who find a traditional sauna to be claustrophobic and suffocating are very pleased when they experience an infrared portable sauna for the very first time.
A regular sauna relies on high levels of heat in the air, which then in turn heats your body up. The Carbon 360 infrared sauna offered by Sun Life Saunas is a great alternative for those who are seeking a more comfortable alternative.
An Infrared Sauna uses infrared heat to directly heat up your body tissues and the heat travels through the skin and straight to the muscles. The heat is so closely related to our natural body heat that more than 93% of the waves are absorbed into the skin. A traditional sauna uses steam heat, while an infrared sauna uses 20% less energy and the excess portion is directly converted to heat in the human body.
Sun Life Saunas also offers models that can accommodate 1-5 people, can come with a personal sound system, a luxury lighting package, a DVD MP3 LCD System, inside reading lights and the E-Z Lean system. The home sauna options offered are guaranteed to be designed for your ultimate comfort and convenience.

Sauna Overview
Over the last several months, we’ve spent quite a bit of time educating you on the benefits and uses of infrared light and the popularity of the infrared sauna. However, it seems that the same questions keep popping up again and again. This week, we’ve elected to recap some of the information we’ve discussed in the past. Hopefully, this review will help newcomers better understand the uses of infrared light and will also help those of you who have already jumped on the bandwagon to better utilize your sauna.
Over and again we’ve discussed the many medical findings associated with the utilization of infrared light therapy. These studies indicate that the regular use of an infrared sauna can promote some additional long-term health benefits. For example, research indicates that spending a mere 30 minutes in an infrared sauna three times per week will lower blood pressure by as much as 30 percent. Not only that, but exposure to infrared light has also been shown to increase peripheral circulation and reduce instances of chronic edema.
Infrared light therapy can heal and stimulate tissue and is an effective therapy for arthritis and tissue injury. Because the skin is the largest organ, regular sweating in a infrared sauna can help decrease the toxic load and contribute to better health and vitality.
One of the most popular benefits afforded infrared sauna users is weight loss support. Studies indicate that spending a mere half-hour in an infrared sauna can burn between 200 and 600 calories! Most people also claim that infrared light therapy improves their sleep, promotes a relaxed state, and enhances mental clarity.
Compared to a traditional sauna, the infrared sauna's health benefits are said to be the ability to stay in the infrared sauna longer and in turn release more toxins from your body. Through the increase in circulation, it is beneficial for a wide range of ailments. Increase in body circulation is often believed to be helpful in a variety of ways.
If one simple medical-grade therapy can do ALL that – why would anyone elect to go without? If you’re one among the many thousands of people suffering from arthritis, chronic headache, or one of the many other ailments that we find so commonly today, perhaps it’s time to consider the purchase and utilization of a personal infrared sauna for therapy. What have you got to lose besides the pain?

Infrared Light Therapy Studies Revealed
Holistic medical researchers have spent endless hours researching the benefits infrared light therapy can have on human body. Believe it or not, the result of these holistic medical studies have revealed that infrared light therapy can do everything from eliminating the common cold to helping fend off cancer.
The study of infrared light therapy has revealed that the combination of infrared light and heat produced there from can help to eliminate a dramatic number of toxins from the human body. In fact, infrared light therapy has proven to be one of the most beneficial and inexpensive ways to lower levels of toxic metal in the bloodstream. Researchers have found that the elimination of these metals can dramatically improve the effects of vitamins and nutrients and can help individuals absorb nutrients more readily from their food.
It's also been indicated that embarking on a regimen of infrared light therapy can dramatically improve the ability of the body to heal infection. Most people carry infection in their sinuses, their nose, their ears, and in their throat. When these commonly infectious areas were exposed to increments of infrared light and heat, it was noted that the level of infection dramatically decreased.
One of the most interesting factors noted through this process of testing was that the level of infection decreased dramatically only with the combination of infrared light and heat. While heat alone had a some degree effect on the infection; and infrared light alone had some degree of effect on infection, the combination of the two virtually eradicated dangerous levels of infection in all of the area's aforementioned.
So, it goes without saying that the best way to eradicate infection from the body is through the application of infrared light and heat - no antibiotics, and no need for man-made chemicals.
The best way to obtain these components is through the utilization of an infrared sauna. Infrared saunas are one of the least expensive and most beneficial ways for obtaining the application of both light therapy and heat. One of the best factors contributed through the use of an infrared sauna is that the entire body can reap the benefits rather than localized areas. By emerging one's entire body in a bath of infrared light and heat, the entire body can reap the benefits of dramatically reduced infection levels, increased circulation, elimination of dangerous metals from the bloodstream, and a host of other medical ailments that often go unremedied.
