How Infrared Therapy Works to Detox the Body

The sweat produced in an infrared sauna is different from the sweat produced during an intense workout. When you sweat during exercise, your nervous system is in the sympathetic mode.  During this “water sweat” you only lose electrolytes and water – not toxins. But regular infrared sauna use, at a low temperature of 105-130 F, moves the nervous system into a parasympathetic mode, stimulating a “fat-sweat” that helps eliminate the chemicals and toxins stored in the body.  Infrared sauna is one of the few ways to detoxify the body of heavy metals and has also been shown to be helpful with treating colitis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, auto-immune disease, autism, ADD and ADHD.

Infrared sauna penetrates human tissue, heating the body without warming the air around you. This makes it accessible to people who can’t tolerate the heat of a traditional sauna and who are unable to enjoy regular exercise.  Infrared sauna sessions deliver many of the benefits of a moderate workout including improved flexibility and cardiovascular conditioning that the Journal of the American Medical Association says can burn up to 600 calories per session.

Infrared therapy, with proper hydration, is safe to do every day.   We suggest starting with three 40-minute low heat sessions a week for optimal detoxification.
