Infrared Saunas can provide the following benefits:
Weight Loss & increased Metabolism:
Your body uses energy to produce sweat and one gram of sweat burns roughly 0.586cal. An Infrared Sauna user can sweat up to 1000gms in a single session. Be sure to replace fluid and electrolytes lost.
Recovery & Muscle Pain Relief:
Increased blood circulation removes metabolic waste and delivers oxygen-rich blood to the muscles, helping them to recover faster. Studies have shown that Infrared Saunas help re-build damaged cells, increase energy production, act as an anti-inflammatory & antioxidant, repair DNA, improve stem cell function and much more.
Athletic Performance:
Cardiovascular output increases up to 60 – 70% due to the elevated heart rate and blood flow which is redirected from the core to the skin to enable sweating. It has been shown to increase growth hormone, boost endurance and reduce muscle wastage whilst injured.
Boosts Immune System:
Deep heating from the Infrared heaters raises your core body temperature, creating an artificial fever. Our body reacts to try reduce the elevated temperature therefore strengthening the immune response by learning to protect itself from future heat stress.
Joint Pain Stiffness:
Infrared Sauna sessions can benefit patients with many forms of arthritis. The radiant heat can be effective in many other muscular-skeletal ailments. Aches and soreness associated with ageing can also be significantly reduced.
Stress Reduction:
The gentle warmth of an infrared sauna can help you become more relaxed, rejuvenated and renewed.
Improved Skin:
The profuse sweating achieved from a short Infrared Sauna session helps to remove impurities and dead skin cells. This leaves skin glowing and the increased circulation naturally brings nutrients to the skin surface.
