We are being increasing exposed to an ever broadening variety of chemicals , many that have never been tested for toxicity. From lotions to every day cleaning solvents to hormonally altered live stock and everything in between, our bodies absorb these chemicals through our skin, lungs , the water we drink and the foods we eat. Many of these chemicals are fat soluble, which means they are stored and accumulated in our fat cells. These chemicals increase within our bodies over time and some of them are known to cause cancer, damage the nervous system, the immune system and organs, etc.
One of the best ways to detoxify our bodies is through the largest organ of our bodies – the skin. This occurs when we sweat. It is a very natural way of detoxing. However, not all toxins are eliminated simply by sweating.
Studies have shown that Far infrared saunas emit rays that penetrate several centimeters into the body and heat the fat cells under the skin, allowing them to release 5 to 6 times more toxins than through normal sweating.
Far Infrared heat saunas are an amazing improvement over traditional steam rooms and regular or hot rock saunas which produce maximum heat with minimal penetration; millimeters deep. Far Infrared heat is the only heat that penetrates deep enough and hot enough to effectively free the toxins from subcutaneous fat.
Far Infrared is not only for detoxification. It also improves cardiovascular health, boosts metabolism, its deep penetration aids in muscle, joint and chronic pain relief, relieves stress , helps in weight loss by burning calories, increases flexibility, alleviates sinus congestion, cleanses the lymphatic system, improves skin condition and much more.
Some people with certain illnesses and conditions should not use an infrared sauna. Also, the heat from the infrared sauna may interfere or cause reactions with some prescription drugs. It’s always best to be checked out before trying the Infrared sauna, and it sure sounds worth trying!
In the Windsor-Essex County area, the Far Infrared Sauna can be found at The Women's Club.
