WORKING UP A SWEAT FOR GOOD HEALTH
THE DETOX SAUNA
Sweating
has long been recognized as a valid way to reduce the severity of illness and encourage good health.
The applications have evolved over time, however, the health benefits still
continue to impress, surviving hundreds of years of advancement in medicine.
The Native American Indian introduced sweat lodges and Traditional Chinese Medicine encourages
the taking of herbal concoctions and hot baths. In Sweden
and Turkey, heat and steam based saunas have long been enjoyed for their health giving properties.
Often it is the sufferers of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, angina, dyspnea and other heart complains who react
most to extreme heat. So the idea of gaining any of the benefits of sweating
therapy is completely out of the question.
This is extremely frustrating, as it is often these people who stand
the most to gain.
A new form of sweating therapy has been
working its way onto the Australian market over the last few years.
Far infrared
rays have been applied to a cabin, warming the user without heating the air in between the heat source and the user.
The air is warm and dry, as opposed to controlled high heat or steam as in traditional saunas. The result is that this new ‘smart’ far infrared sauna is
comfortable, easy to breathe in and particularly
well tolerated by sufferers of heart complaints.
The far infrared rays are safe and naturally occurring
as part of the light spectrum.
Far removed from harmful ultraviolet rays, the far infrared rays have been used in the NASA space program to assist
astronauts to maintain cardiovascular fitness an even in humidicribs to warm premature babies.
Many have felt the effects of the infrared as the deep warmth that one gets from the sun on an early winter’s
morning.
Far infrared sauna is an effective therapy that has applications to many health conditions.
Most
importantly, the application is safe for those with problems relating to the heart..
