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.
