How Does the Infrared Sauna Work?

Firstly the Far Infrared waves penetrate 1 ½ inch into the body. Activating the release of toxins, heavy metals, and toxins in addition to nicotine, alcohol, and sodium from our fat tissue. Which then travel via our lymphatic fluids and out of the body as well as through the skin through our sweat. There is a deep heating effect in the muscle tissues and internal organs without giving too much burden to our hearts. The infrared energy released by a far-infrared sauna penetrates deep into muscle tissue. It enhances circulation and as a result, promotes oxygenation of body tissues.

Research

Additionally in Japan, there is an “infrared society”, composed of medical doctors and physical therapists dedicated to further infrared research. Their findings support the health benefits of infrared therapy as a method of healing.
