August 7, 2017 Three Benefits of a Far Infrared Sauna Apart from Detoxification When people talk about far infrared saunas (FIRs), one of the positive effects that may come to mind is detoxification. FIRs can detox the body because toxic metallic elements that are stored in human tissues may be eliminated through induced sweating. Infrared saunas cause 1

Besides detoxification, a far infrared sauna also offers three additional benefits that not many people know about. Here are a few that will get you more interested in owning an infrared sauna. Anti-Aging Infrared heat goes deeply into the skin, improving skin quality in the process. A scientific study involving 20 patients with mild to moderate facial wrinkles was conducted, in which the patients received daily FIR sauna treatment for six months. Findings showed that, based on patient evaluation and medical observer assessment, infrared radiation increased collagen and elastin content in proportion to the time spent in the sauna. After the treatment, all patients reported improvements in skin smoothness and tone, while medical evaluation confirmed reduced roughness and wrinkles. Researchers recommend FIR sauna treatment as a safe and non-pharmaceutical based approach to treating sun-aged skin. Pain Relief Infrared saunas are also seen as effective tools in relieving pain. A study from Kagoshima University Hospital in Japan found that fibromyalgia patients who received 15-minute FIR therapy two to five days a week reported lower pain immediately after the first session. Furthermore, their reports indicated that after receiving ten treatments, patients felt moderate to significant pain relief. In addition, infrared saunas also decreased pain for people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a type of cardiovascular disease wherein plaque accumulates in the arteries, resulting in lower blood and oxygen flow to the legs and feet. This ailment leads to severe leg pain, particularly when walking. With pain reduced, patients were able to walk longer distances. Cardiovascular Health Research has shown fair to moderate evidence of the benefits of a FIR sauna on cardiovascular health. A study conducted by Dr. Richard Beever showed that 15-minute sauna sessions for two weeks helped patients normalize blood pressure and treat congestive heart failure. In addition, 2
