Sweat has never been this Sweet
(Detoxifying using a FAR infrared Sauna)
When I found out that FAR infrared Sauna’s existed in Bali, I was sure to try it and see the benefits for myself. I had heard about the countless detoxifying benefits of FAR infrared Sauna’s before but had never experienced it first hand. As we are confronted with pollution and countless health risks so intensely that the general public and the medical industry has started to stress the importance of detoxification, I was convinced to try this modern way of detoxifying. As most of our health ailments derive from trapped toxins that have clogged the natural functions of our body, it is said that sweating (as one form of detoxification) is imperative when living in today’s world. After experiencing a couple of sessions in this wooden lodge, I was sure to spread the rumor…
FAR infrared Sauna’s were discovered and used by NASA to keep the astronauts warm when in orbit. Further research by Japanese and Chinese researchers led to the discovery of the amazing health benefits from the use of FAR infrared energy. It is also the same gentle radiation used to keep premature babies warm. Unlike traditional Finnish Sauna’s, the FAR infrared Sauna heats through a process called conversion, heating your body comfortably instead of heating the air around you and leaving you drained and exhausted. What makes it vastly superior is that the energy penetrates the body’s tissues far deeper than a regular sauna. As a result, the ionic bond between toxins and tissue can be broken down, eliminating it through sweat. It has been estimated that a person sweats eight times more toxins through the use of a FAR infrared Sauna than through the use of a traditional dry sauna. Dr. Sherry Rogers from the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and author of ‘Detox or Die’ says that it’s the only way of removing man-made toxins from our bodies. She also underlines that bio-accumulated toxins are responsible of all diseases not attributed to bacteria and virus.
The FAR infrared Sauna is an effortless way of detoxifying. To best explain it- it slowly heats you from within rather than intensely cooking you from the outside (you can even bring in reading material). A session will therefore not leave you gasping for a breath of fresh air. There is something very natural about the experience, as it makes you feel like a baby in its womb. The temperature is also much lower than regular saunas. The range that the traditional saunas operate at is at around 100 C degrees (because it uses direct heat in the form of steam) while the FAR infrared sauna operates at around 50 degrees C (even though you sweat more). This comfortable environment makes it easy for people with heart conditions and high blood pressure to enjoy it as well.
FAR infrared Saunas increase the metabolism and blood circulation, reduce joint stiffness and muscle pain, help rejuvenate the skin, boost the immune system, decrease cellulite and assist in overall longevity. A 30 min session can burn 300-600 calories while leaving you relaxed, awakened and rejuvenated. Long-term effects of using a FAR infrared Sauna will dramatically lower the chances of ailments such as cancer, hyper-cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity and any other health risks associated to pollution. This effortless detoxification method is a modern yet environmentally friendly way of taking care of our body (using about only a hair-dryer’s worth of electricity). My advice to anyone is…go try it!
