Five Amazing Infrared Sauna Benefits You Probably Did Not Know About

1. May 30, 2017 Five Amazing Infrared Sauna Benefits You Probably Did Not Know About If you’ve been to the gym or a spa within the last 50 years, you undoubtedly would have heard about the detoxifying benefits of the sauna. At the very least, you know how sauna therapy can aid in weight loss. But what other benefits are there? 1

2. Infrared light is a type of invisible energy that manifests as heat, and its particular wavelength allows it to safely penetrate deep into our body to provide a wide range of health benefits. Here are just a few of the many interesting but understated benefits the far-infrared sauna has to offer: Increased Metabolism Infrared heat raises the heart rate much like exercise does, but without the exertion. A recent clinical study found that patients who indulge in far-infrared sauna sessions may see a decrease in waist circumference. Results from a second study showed that it is possible to burn up to 600 calories by just doing a 30-minute sauna session. Increased Cardiac Endurance Heat therapy through the use of the infrared sauna will increase and facilitate blood flow. Over time, as the heart is subjected to heat stress, it will become conditioned in such a way that allows for the completion of aerobic activities with less cardiovascular strain and a lower heart rate. Increased Growth Hormone Production When entering a heated sauna cabin, our body experiences slight hyperthermia, a condition in which the body temperature is above normal. Intermittent hyperthermia can immediately boost growth hormone production, which will persist for several hours post-exposure. Moreover, if you combine hyperthermia and exercise, you can achieve a synergistic effect that will increase human growth hormone (HGH) levels even further. HGH deficiency results in loss of muscle mass and an increase in fat - both of which you can avoid by hopping in the sauna. Pain Relief for People with Arthritis No, an infrared sauna cannot cure arthritis. What it can do, however, is help ease the pain caused by inflammation. A report by Dr. H. Isomaki in The Annals of Clinical Research shows that sauna therapy can increase anti-inflammatory agents such as noradrenaline, adrenaline, and cortisol. In his study, more than 50% of subjects experienced temporary increased mobility and relief of pain. Boost Immune System for a Faster Recovery 2

3. Heat therapy has been proven to increase white blood cell formation, which effectively increases the body’s ability to prevent and fight illnesses. Heat therapy also improves circulation, providing injured areas the oxygen and nutrients they need to heal. At the same time, improved circulation also helps remove metabolic waste and toxins away from the injured tissue. There are many more infrared sauna benefits, both those that have been proven, and those yet to be discovered.
