FIR sauna therapy has been well researched and proven to remove heavy metals, organotoxins/chemicals, pesticides, from the body. Each far infrared sauna session causes a brief, beneficial increase in body temperature, which improves immune system health by boosting production of infection-fighting white blood cells and killer T-cells. Toxins can play a significant role in preventing us from losing weight as well as gaining weight. Those wishing to lose weight should note that a single sauna session burns as many as 600 calories. The sauna is also quite effective at dealing with cellulite when combined with massage therapy and nutrition.

Medical doctors and health practitioners worldwide recognize the FIR sauna as perhaps the most effective method of removing both chemical and heavy metal toxins from the body.

Each far infrared sauna session causes a brief, beneficial increase in body temperature, which improves immune system health by boosting production of infection-fighting white blood cells and killer T-cells.

Medical research shows that regular use of a far infrared sauna may be as effective for cardiovascular conditioning as exercise. As the body heats up, it cools itself by sending blood from the internal organs to the extremities and the skin, thus increasing heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.

High daily stress levels put constant strain on the body’s nervous system and can contribute to chronic disease. The far infrared sauna helps to reduce physical stress by boosting circulation and triggering the production of endorphins, the “feel good” hormones.

Toxins can play a significant role in preventing us from losing weight as well as gaining weight. Those wishing to lose weight should note that the cardiovascular effect from a single sauna session burns as many as 600 calories. The sauna is also quite effective at dealing with cellulite when combined with massage therapy and nutrition.

Toxins

Toxins that cannot be metabolized and excreted from the body are stored in fat cells that exist throughout our bodies and in every organ. By retaining these toxins, they accumulate over time. Though your exposure to, for instance, pesticides may be brief and sporadic, over many exposures your total toxic burden is increasing. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that the broad variety of toxins we carry around in our bodies have a synergistic effect with each other. A sort of 1 + 1 = 3 situation. In other words, the pesticides you were exposed to while working in your yard and the mercury toxicity you acquired from your amalgam dental fillings combine to have a more deleterious effect on your health than either would independently.

Detoxification is a delicate process in which toxins are mobilized out of fat cells and into your sweat and blood stream. The mobilized toxins in your blood are then handled by your body’s resonance detoxification system, processed through the kidneys, and excreted via the urine and the stool. Studies indicate that sweating can offload as much as 33% of the burden placed on your kidneys. However, this still requires your body’s natural detoxification system to be able to handle the quantity of toxins in the blood stream. If too many toxins enter the blood stream, flu-like symptoms result. Ridding your body of its toxic burden should not be a miserable experience. It is actually quite an enjoyable experience when it is done with your body in a state of balance.

The FIR sauna is designed to allow anyone to detoxify at a rate that is appropriate for them. All of us have had different levels of exposure as well as exposure to different toxins. We all can rid our body of the toxins, but the rate at which that happens needs to be appropriate to the individual. Our sauna’s heaters and the control system were engineered for maximum control during detoxification.

FIR frequency

Far infrared is a band of electromagnetic energy, just as visible light and ultraviolet light are. The difference between visible light and far infrared is that we cannot see far infrared. Far infrared is experienced as heat and this is how the heat from the sun reaches the Earth through the vacuum of space. Far infrared differs from ultraviolet in that it affects the body differently - far infrared is not harmful to the body in anyway and does not lead to sunburns or skin cancer the way exposure to ultraviolet can.

What makes far infrared so special is how it is absorbed by the body.  It is in sharp contrast to a band of energy called near infrared that is also experienced as heat. Near infrared energy is absorbed only on the surface of the skin. It is experienced as a sharper heat sensation. It is also what is emitted by the heat lamps you see warming hamburgers at the local fast food restaurant. Far infrared, on the other hand, is absorbed into the body up to a depth of 1 and a half inches. It is experienced as a softer heat sensation which is quite enjoyable. It is this experience that people enjoy about sun bathing. It is also this particular property that enables superior detoxification. By being able to penetrate into the body, it is able to mobilize toxins that other forms of detoxification just cannot reach (chelation does not have this ability).

To be specific, far infrared is a different set of frequencies (or wavelengths - sometimes the two are used interchangeably: since the speed of light is a constant you can mathematically convert between the two) than near infrared. Just as red light is different from blue light because it has a different frequency (or wavelength). The band of energy described as far infrared actually encompasses a very large range. Most of this range actually can pass right through the body without absorption. Though Bio-Resonance heaters are referred to as ‘far infrared’, they in fact only emit the best portion of the far infrared spectrum - those frequencies which contribute to detoxification.

By dilating blood vessels, infrared heat increases blood circulation to injured areas, speeding up the healing process and relieving pain.

Hypoallergenic, Solid Poplar Wood

After extensive research, poplar was found to be the superior wood of choice in saunas for health-minded people.

Cedar was the original wood used for saunas because of its ability to withstand high heat, water, and exposure to the elements. Since modern saunas do not operate at such high heats, do not require the use of either fire or water, and are usually used indoors, cedar is no longer either necessary or recommended.

In fact, the use of cedar for saunas, actually contributes to the “total toxic burden” of the sauna user. Cedar wood contains terpines (volatile oils that are lung irritants). The cedrene* and cedral* in the wood are lung irritants and can also produce gastrointestinal symptoms, aspiration and pulmonary toxicity, and other problems.

* Cedrene is a volatile oil which is a member of the terpine family - a group of unsaturated, aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbons. Cedral is a cedar-camphor. For more information, see www.spa.gov.

Poplar wood does not outgas any chemicals or have strong, objectionable odors making it superior to cedar, redwood, hemlock, and basswood for individuals addressing health problems related to toxicity or those with allergies, chronic disease, or chemical sensitivities. Poplar is the wood recommended by toxicologists for clinical or home use of therapy saunas used for medical purposes.

Insist Your Sauna be Built of Only Solid Wood

In this age of “build it as cheap as humanly possible”, most wood products are constructed with particleboard or plywood. Unfortunately, both of these solid-wood substitutes outgas formaldehyde. To improve the appearance of such products, veneer, an extremely thin layer of real wood, is glued over the surface of the solid-wood substitute giving the product the appearance of solid wood.

Since each one of us is exposed to an already excessive and health-damaging quantity of chemicals, it would be irresponsible for us to add another source to your body. That’s why our sauna is made of 100% solid wood. It would be pointless to sit in a sauna that is helping your body excrete toxins while at the same time exposing yourself to additional toxins due to ultra-low-cost construction. We think the extra expense is worth it and hope you do too.
