Sauna Infra-Red

HISTORY OF THE LONG WAVE INFRA-RED SAUNA

The Sauna was first invented in Finland in ancient Europe and has been introduced to the world and accepted as a health method for fatigue, neurosis, gynecological problems and high blood pressure. As the sun's rays pass through clay, stone, and sand (ceramics), it creates heat which results in healing. This theory was first used with stone heating, sand heating, steam bath and now the Long Wave Infra-Red Sauna, Health Mate. Using this Long Wave Infra-Red Ray Theory, Health Mate has scientifically developed the perfect sauna for professional or home use to benefit modern people.

WHAT IS AN INFRA-RED SAUNA?

Infra-Red Heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects without having to heat the air between. This band of light is not visible to human eyes but can be seen with special cameras, however, we can feel this type of light in the form of heat. The sun is the principal source of Infra-Red Heat. A conventional Sauna must rely on indirect means of heat. Conventional saunas heat air to 180 - 225 degrees Fahrenheit to heat skin and achieve the same effects as the Infra-Red Sauna. Infra-Red heat, is able to penetrate 1 1/2 inches below the skin, causing the body to sweat at a temperature of 110 - 220 degrees Fahrenheit. This crucial difference explains many of the benefits of Infra-Red Sauna systems.

REMOVES HEAVY METAL

Toxins, like sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol, and the potentially carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel) accumulate in the system through sluggish elimination. These toxins are normally removed from the body by perspiration, however, lifestyles today do not allow the body to eliminate in the way nature intended. The Infra-Red Sauna increases the eliminative, detoxifying and cleansing capacity of the skin by stimulating the sweat glands.

WEIGHT CONTROL - BURNS UP TO 600 CALORIES IN A 25 MINUTE SESSION!

It alienates excessive moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat out of the body. Sweating is a part of the complex thermo-regulatory process of the body, involving substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate which consumes considerable energy. Weight loss is possible because BODY FAT becomes water soluble at 110 degrees and the body can sweat out fats, toxins and heavy metal, that it otherwise can't dispose of. For services see FEE SCHEDULE, some contraindications apply.

EXERCISE EFFECT:
Work your heart similar to a 6-9 mile run! If you take a 20-30 minute infra-red sauna, you perspire the same amount as if you had run six miles. Clearly for people not in a position to take such regular exercise...this sauna would be crucial!
RELIEVES PAIN:
Infra-Red heat can help relieve pain by widening blood vessels, which causes increased blood circulation and allows more oxygen to get to the injured areas. This helps reduce the pain and speeds up the healing process. Infra-Red heat has also been used extensively in the treatment of arthritis, rheumatism and muscle spasms.
