Infrared Sauna

Infra red waves travel 2-3 inches deep into the body, resulting in (1) an increase in circulation, and (2) a stimulation in sweat production. Unlike other types of saunas, such as steam or hot stone, the penetrating properties of the infra red waves allow for the elimination of such toxins as:


a.       Heavy metals,

b.      Pesticides,

c.       PCBs,

d.      Herbicides, and

e.      Xenobiotics.

 

The sweat generated in response to the infra red waves is comprised of water (85%) and toxins (15%). In comparison, the sweat generated from other types of saunas is 97% water and only 3% toxins.

 

The ability of the IRS to increase body temperature, induce sweating, and eliminate toxins results in such health benefits as:

 

WEIGHT LOSS: burn up to 600 calories in 30 minutes.

 

PAIN RELIEF: from such conditions as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, sport injuries, and other chronic pain conditions.

 

SKIN CARE: including eczema, acne, and psoriasis.

 

INCREASE IMMUNITY: to help improve resistance to infections, including colds and flus.

 

RELAXATION: relieves stress and fatigue while invigorating and purifying.

 

DETOXIFICATION: promotes the elimination of environmental toxins, including heavy metals and pesticides.

 

PREGNANCY PREP: a large body of research shows the transfer of toxins from mother to fetus, resulting in a toxic load heavier than many newborns can carry. This toxic load has been shown to be involved in the development of numerous pediatric health conditions, from asthma to autism.

 

BEWARE: not all infra red saunas are alike. Paciência Holistic Center offers a medical grade, toxin free, allergy free sauna made from non treated Canadian wood. Our sauna room is complete with a shower, allowing for maximum benefit from the sauna by completing each session with a COLD shower. This cold water immersion is IMPERATIVE to re-establish the circulation and close the skin pores. For more information, feel free to contact our office by phone or by email.
