What Health Benefits Does One Receive When Using the Far Infrared Sauna?
Improves Cardiovascular System. While you calmly relax in the soothing warmth of the Far Infrared Sauna, your body is hard at work. A 20- to 30-minute sauna creates approximately the same amount of perspiration as a six-mile run. And as your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder to boost circulation, thus improving your cardiovascular system. (It also should be noted that increased circulation has been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions, and cuts. Open wounds heal faster, which reduces scarring. Peripheral blood vessels dilate to help heal muscles and soft tissue, while delivering oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles.) Medical research indicates that use of a Far Infrared Sauna therapy may be as effective a means of cardiovascular conditioning as regular exercise. This is especially important to those individuals who are not physically capable of exercising.
