		Infrared sauna Infrared sauna concept The sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum - it heats the earth and the earth reflects the heat, which heats the air. Infrared is a form of radiant heat transmitted through air. It has nothing to do with ultraviolet light, (which can give you sunburn and damage your skin). Infrared heat is simply a form of energy that is directly transmitted onto objects because of its specific wavelength. It's a dry form with a depth of penetration between 2 and 10 mm. Skin and subcutaneous tissues (superficial fat, muscles and tendons) are the tissues primarily heated by infrared. Infrared heat has number of positive effects on human organism: Pain Relief: Infrared heat is well known for pain relief. The heat expands and dilates peripheral blood vessels. Increased blood circulation delivers blood to injured muscles, which helps to speed up the body's natural recovery process. This action provides relieve of cold, sore muscles, stiff joints and soft tissue injuries. Health professionals have used red infrared heat lamps for decades to treat muscle and joint problems Detoxification: Infrared heat stimulates healthy perspiration, detoxification of your body from waste materials. Our body reacts to the increased heating through the natural cooling process of perspiring. As well as the pores of our skin opening and discharging waste products, the skin sheds any old skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and immaculately clean, with improved tone, elasticity, texture and color. Relieve of Stress: Infrared's soothing warmth penetrates your skin tissues resulting in warmth of your entire body, generating an immediate relive of fatigue and stress. Cardiovascular System Stimulation: Infrared sauna can also strengthen your cardiovascular system. Whiles the moisture on the surface of the skin evaporates and thus cools the body, a number of other changes occur in the body to release the heat as quickly as possible. Your heart beats harder and faster, pumps blood at a greater rate through the dilated blood vessels, achieving the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise, giving you same benefits as a cardiovascular workout. Also.. Infrared sauna is beneficial in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, muscle spasms, muscle tension conditions, chronic neck and low back pain. Radiant heat sauna therapy also relives the stiffness, aches and soreness associated with aging. It is interesting to know that our bodies also radiate infrared energy out through the skin. This is easily demonstrated by holding your palms together, without touching. The almost instant heat that is generated is infra-red. Palm healing, a 3000 year old Chinese tradition, is based on the properties of this natural infra-red energy. The Yogis of India also use such palm healing and recommend it especially for relieving eye strain. Other treatments: 1. Steam Sauna 2. Aroma Therapy 3. Vichy Shower 4. Vibromassage 5.
