Burn Calories
Our Suanas burn as many calories in just one 30 minute
session as swimming, rowing or running! Perspiring is
part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the
body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output and
metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount
of the energy and reduces moisture, salts and subcutaneous
fat. Fat becomes soluble at 42 deg. C and the body sweats
out the fats and toxins.
Reduce Pain
The Our Sauna is effective for arthritis, back pain,
muscle spasm, headache, injuries and many other pains.
Fir heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and
increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more
oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps
reduce pain and speed up the healing process. Many People
use Fir heat as a successful treatment for arthritis,
muscle spasms and rheumatism.
Heal/Prevent Injuries
Great for warming up before stretching or starting any
vigorous activity to help prevent injuries. Helps improve
the healing of sprains, strains, arthritis, muscle spasm
and pain. During a fever, the body heats up to eliminate
viruses and attack foreign agents. Subsequently, the
body wards off invading organisms much more easily because
the immune system is activated consistently by the "artificial
fever". Recent studies also show that colds and
flu-like illnesses are reduced dramatically if treated
in early stages with sauna therapy.
Increase Flexibility
Research indicates that stretching after a 40-minute
sauna session should produce a 1/2% permanent increase
in your flexibility, and one 20-minute sauna a temporary
increase of up to 10%. The heart receives a workout
similar to a 6 mile run in a 20-30 minute sauna session
by perspiring the same amount. Infrared saunas are perfect
for those that do not have time for regular exercise
or suffer from injuries that inhabit rigorous activity.
Decrease Blood Pressure
A group of hypertensive patients was studied using far
infrared saunas, resulting in a decrease of blood pressure,
cardiac ejection resistance, and total peripheral resistance
and an increase of heart rates, stroke volumes, cardiac
outputs and ejection fractions in every subject.
Reduce Stress
Your Our Sauna is excellent for increasing blood circulation
to your muscles, soothing them, leaving you felling
more relaxed. Infrared heat therapy loosens the muscle
and relaxes the body prior to a massage. Many massage
therapists use infrared heat to provide more through
and effective treatment.
Remove Toxins
Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine and carcinogenic
heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc and nickel) and mercury
accumulate in the body during modern daily life. Infrared
heat therapy stimulates sweat glands that cleanse and
detoxify skin.
Improve Cardiovascular Function
Regular use of a sauna may impart a similar stress on
the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be
as effective, as a means of cardiovascular conditioning
and burning of calories and regular exercise."
Journal of American Medical Association, August 7, 1987.
Improve your Skin
Your Our Sauna is excellent for increasing blood circulation
to the skin, which is essential for beautiful, youthful,
glowing skin! Infrared heat expels dirt and chemicals
and removes dead cells on the surface of the skin. All
of these benefits lead to a more soft and firm complexion.
It also reduces wrinkling associated with aging.
