Let's get started.

Why Detoxify Your Body?

Environmental toxins accumulate in our bodies leading to fatigue, brain fog, malaise, and deterioration of other illnesses according to Dr. Ericson, a preventative medicine expert in Florida. Dr. Cline of Cline Medical Center reports these toxins account for 90% of chronic diseases in the world. The main hazardous toxins include:

1. Heavy metals: mercury, lead, and arsenic
2. Persistent organic pollutants: pesticides, herbicides, and flame retardants
3. Biological toxins: mold, parasites, pathological bacteria, viruses, etc.

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) lists environmentally triggered illnesses to include: "system illnesses like obesity, cardiovascular disorders, eye/ear/nose/throat disorders, pulmonary disorders, endocrine dysfunction, gastrointestinal disorders, hematologic disorders, genitourinary disorders, neurological disorders, neurobehavioral and psychiatric disorders, rheumatology disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, skin disorders, and cancer." As you can see, detoxifying our bodies is needed due to the environmental toxins were exposed to everyday.

How do Infrared Saunas work?

Infrared Sauna produce invisible infrared light radiating heat, which warms your whole body instead of air alone. The feeling is similar to sunning without exposing yourself to harmful UV rays. And your skin will never burn.

The soft penetrating heat reaches about 2 inches into the fat layer where toxins accumulate. Increased blood circulation stimulates your sweat glands releasing toxin build up. And waste trapped in the fatty layers beneath your skin. Skin referred to as the 3rd kidney is responsible for eliminating 30% of your body waste.

This process allows your body to sweat out harmful toxins simultaneously gaining health benefits.

Infrared Sauna Therapy

Infrared Saunas are used by healthcare, sports medicine, and spa facilities to treat an array of medical concerns. It is a non-evasive natural alternate to conventional medical treatment.

Western medicine often only treats chronic symptoms of many conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. This is because they have yet to pinpoint the origin of many chronic degenerative diseases. Whereas Infrared Sauna Therapy rids the body of harmful toxins contributing to chronic degenerative diseases.

Convenience and Affordability

You can spend a lot of time and money driving to the spa each week. In fact, the 2007 Spa Industry Study by The International SPA Association (ISPA) reports 9.4 billion U.S. dollars bought 110 million spa visits in 2006. And there are 4,487 more U.S. spas as of August 2007 than in 2004 totaling 14,615 to date.

With a convenient Infrared Sauna in your home, you can cut gas, time, and energy expenses considerably. Additionally, Infrared Saunas use electricity costing a mere $10 or so a month. When was the last time you paid $10 to fill up your car tank? (And referring back to the 1960's doesn't count Dad.)
