Regardless of who you are, chances are you have symptoms relating to one or all of the above. Do you know there are enjoyable, easy alternatives to medicines and/or just dealing with it?
Our body is the perfect machine and has the ability to correct many of these issues if put in the right environment. This means that yes eating healthy, daily movement or exercise and not smoking is very important and key to a healthy happy life, however, there are other things you can incorporate into your life that are easy, enjoyable and relatively affordable. One of these is INFRARED SAUNA.
FULL SPECTRUM INFRARED SAUNA
Infrared Sauna uses wavelengths of light to heat the body at the core not by heating the room. The three wavelengths near, mid and far all effect the body at different depths, far being the most intense. Infrared light is the part of the sun’s spectrum that can penetrate to the core of the body producing the soothing, warm, nourishing feeling we love from sitting in the sun. The healing part of this is the detoxification that occurs from producing the rise in core temperature and sweat at the cellular level where most of our toxins exist. The ideal temperature in an infrared sauna is between 100 and 130 degrees Farenheit making it comfortable for people who cannot tolerate the high temperatures in a regular sauna.
According to Sunlighten, one of the leading infrared sauna manufacturers, some of the health benefits that are derived from treating yourself to infrared sauna sessions are:
Detoxification – an infrared sauna generates a sweat 7X more detoxifying than a traditional sauna. Infrared has the ability to detox the liver is said to help release heavy metals.
Relaxation – a peaceful, relaxing environment with music and soothing lighting
Weight Loss – studies have shown that hundreds of calories can be burned in one 30-minute session!!
Heart Health – infrared shown to reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure
Pain Relief – Studies show therapeutic benefits for arthritis and other painful conditions
Anti-Aging – Improves skin appearance from deep sweat
Cell Health/Immunity (full spectrum) – aids in cell health, muscle recovery and overall immune response
Wound Healing (full spectrum) – Infrared helps to heal wounds faster and minimalize scaring
Benefits begin after the first session. Relaxation is immediate and often pain reduction is as well. For long term benefits, visits 1-3 times a week is recommended. Here at Healing Moments, upon arriving for a session, clients are given a glass of hydrogen & antioxidant rich, restructured alkaline water to drink immediately and one to take with you for your session. A bamboo charcoal wrap is provided which helps to draw out toxins and allow clients to be comfortable. Pandora plays gentle relaxing music and clients have the option of which clinical program they would like to use or a “quick start program” is available. Once the 30-45 minute session is up a shower is available to rinse sweat and toxins away. It is an amazing way to decrease pain, enjoy relaxation or meditation time, detoxify and improve cardiovascular health! Sessions in a full spectrum Infrared Sauna have proven benefits, are less expensive than other treatments and are worth a try!
