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.
