SAUNA

Our sauna uses six ceramic heaters that produce energy on the narrow far infrared end of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Traditional saunas heat the body by heating the air, while far infrared waves heat the body with radiant energy, warming the body on the inside as well as on the surface. Radiant heat like this is similar to the heat from the sun, without the sun’s harmful UV rays. Our bodies both emit and absorb infrared radiant energy, and with the Heavenly Heat Sauna, far infrared energy penetrates into the body approximately 1.5 inches. As a result, the sauna is effective at temperatures lower than those of traditional saunas and is more comfortable for most people. In our sauna, the therapeutic operating temperature is much cooler: 130 degrees Fahrenheit compared to 150-210 degrees Fahrenheit required by a traditional steam sauna.

ABOUT OUR SAUNA:

 

Differences between Infrared and traditional saunas:

Infrared saunas help induce up to three times the sweat volume of traditional saunas and is thought to be seven times more effective at detoxifying metals such as mercury and aluminum, as well as cholesterols, nicotine, alcohol, ammonia, sulfuric acid, and other environmental toxins when compared to conventional heat or steam saunas.

HOW DO INFRARED SAUNA’S WORK?

Far Infrared is a section of the natural band of light that is not visible to the human eye, but can be felt as heat. Unlike the high heat produced in traditional steam saunas, Far infrared heat is able to penetrate the body to a depth of 1.5 to 2 inches. This stimulates the body’s cellular detoxification process more effectively than a traditional sauna.  The body, incapable of metabolizing and excreting all toxins it is exposed to, often times stores toxins in fat to protect the body (called lipophillic toxins).

Our body’s tissues normally produce infrared energy, which is used by the body for a number of healing processes. By delivering penetrating warmth to the body, the far infrared sauna increases the body’s own infrared energy levels, encouraging a light rise in body temperature that boosts natural detoxification systems.

The sauna duplicates these healthy infrared frequencies. The tissues selectively absorb these rays as the water in the cell reacts in a process called “resonant absorption.” This resonant absorption occurs when the frequency of the infrared matches the frequency of the water in the cell causing toxins to be dropped off into the bloodstream and excreted in sweat, feces and urine.

Far Infrared technology has been used for more than thirty years to treat more than twenty million patients. The original use was for pain because infrared promotes microcirculation, which provides more oxygen to the healing site while reducing acidic deposits. Although effective for pain, our primary use is for detoxification of heavy metals (including mercury) and chemicals.

The Infrared sauna has the ability to systematically eliminate internal chemicals and heavy metal toxins, including mercury. This will lower the total toxic environment load that suppresses biological function, longevity, and, ultimately, human potential”

MORE THAN DETOXIFICATION

Enhanced Immune Health: Each infrared sauna session causes a brief, beneficial increase in body temperature, which improves immune health by boosting production of infection-fighting white blood cells and killer T-cells.

Stress Relief: High daily stress levels put constant strain on the body’s nervous system and can contribute to chronic disease. The infrared sauna helps to reduce physical stress by boosting circulation and triggering the production of endorphins, the “feel good” hormones.

Weight and Cellulite Control: Toxins can play a significant role in preventing us from losing weight as well as gaining weight. Those wishing to lose weight should note that the cardiovascular effect from a single sauna session burns as many as 600 calories. The infrared sauna is also quite effective at dealing with cellulite when combined with massage therapy and nutrition.

Improved Cardiovascular Conditioning: Medical research shows that regular use of an infrared sauna may be as effective for cardiovascular conditioning as exercise. As the body heats up, it cools itself by sending the blood from the internal organs to the extremities and the skin, thus increasing heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.

ARE YOU TOXIC?

Our bodies have become virtual dumping grounds for hundreds of thousands of toxic compounds that invade our air, water and even the soil in which our food grows. Today more than 77,000 chemicals are in active production in this country, and more than 3,000 chemicals are in our food supply. The EPA estimates that our bodies cannot metabolize over 20,000 of these chemicals. So what happens to them? These toxic substances are stored in fat cells throughout our bodies where they continue to accumulate. In fact, studies indicate that most of us have between 400 and 800 chemical residues stored in the fat cells of our bodies. Together, these chemicals and heavy metals create a situation of chronic toxic overload. As these toxins build up, they can cause enzyme dysfunction and nutritional deficiencies, create hormonal imbalances, and can lead to other debilitating chronic illnesses.
