INFRARED SAUNAS AND TOXINS

When our customers order a sauna, the  #1 reason they give is to remove toxins.  It makes sense, because so  many ailments are linked to toxins in our body.

Scientists,  doctors and other health experts have become increasingly aware of the  negative impact toxins have on our body.  Toxins like sulfur dioxide,  lead and mercury are absorbed into our body on a daily basis though diet  and environment.  Did you know that anesthesia can be stored in our organs for years?  Detergents, perfumes, household chemicals, and paints  penetrate our skin, which acts as a sponge, soaking these poisons into  our blood stream.

Toxins  have a destructive impact on our health, causing enzyme dysfunction,  hormonal imbalances, and weakening of our immune system.  Ailments that  health experts have linked to toxins include:

Anxiety & Depression                 Fibromyalgia 
Alzheimers                                  Joint/Muscle Pain                                    Autism                                         Insomnia
Attention Disorder                      Cancer                    
Memory Loss                              Skin ailments
Mouth Sores                                Frequent Colds                        Chronic Fatigue                          Asthma
Allergies   

Our skin is our largest organ and  potentially the biggest eliminator of waste.  Sweating not only removes  toxins, but also reduces the work load of the kidneys, colon and liver.   Sweat is quite the prudent garbage collector.  A 30-minute infrared  sauna session produces the same heavy metal elimination that would take  the kidneys 48 working hours.

Using  an infrared sauna increases skin and body temperature, causing sweat  and oils to be secreted from the body.  Harmful toxins are dissolved in  these secretions and are eliminated, as well. Petrochemicals, that have  been kept in subcutaneous fat for years, rise to the surface and exit  through pores.  

Sweating  toxins is dramatically increased in an infrared sauna.  And the  composition of chemicals in infrared sauna sweat is quite different from  sweat generated from a steam sauna, dry sauna, hot tub or exercise.   Infrared sauna sweat contains water, cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins,  heavy metals, nicotine, sulfuric acid, ammonia and other poisons.  The  sweat generated by traditional exercise is mostly water and sodium  chloride.
