Benefits of Far Infrared Dry
Sauna Treatments
Weight loss
One 30-minute session burns up to 300 calories. That’s the equivalent
of a 3-ounce piece of cheesecake! One single far infrared therapy
session can raise your metabolism for the remainder of the day,
providing you with additional burning power of up to 500 extra
calories, giving a total of 800 calories burned in a given day.
Imagine how quickly those calories can add up to help you drop
those unwanted pounds if you began receiving a series of far infrared
treatments in succession.
Detoxification
The rays penetrate into the tissues and stimulate the release
of toxins that are stored deep within the body. Eliminating toxins
from your body helps protect you from developing cancers and deg
enerative diseases. Once cleansed, you’ll have more energy to
do the things you love to do.
Improves skin conditions and helps treat
cellulite
Infrared therapy has been shown to relieve acne, psoriasis, burns,
eczema and also removes roughness and decreases scarring. The
deep penetration of infrared energy aids in the breakdown and
release of stored fat from the body. Thus it helps reduce the
appearance of cellulite.
Improved Immune System
Infrared sauna treatments raise your core body temperature, thus
stimulating the immune system and making you stronger at fighting
off viruses, bacteria and other infections. If you feel the early
signs of a cold coming on, come in for a sauna treatment to help
rev up your immune system. This will reduce your number of sick
days.
Pain Relief
Far infrared therapy has been shown to be effective at providing
pain relief to those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, back
pain, sprains, strains, bursitis, fibromyalgia, headaches, migraines,
and many other muscular-skeletal ailments. It is excellent for
reducing pain and soreness in muscles and joints after a workout.
Heart Health
Infrared therapy stimulates the cardiovascular system, resulting
in similar conditioning benefits to that of continuous physical
exercise. It has been used to treat high cholesterol, high blood
pressure, and congestive heart failure. Sauna combined with dietary
changes, supplementation, and regular daily walking can bring
your cholesterol levels back to normal in as quickly as 6 months.
Stress Relief
Infrared therapy has been shown to promote total body relaxation.
It balances the body’s hormones through the nervous system, thereby
reducing the negative impact of stress on the mind and body. For
those suffering from insomnia, infrared therapy can promote a
deeper and more restful sleep.
What exactly is far infrared sauna, and
how does it work?
Infrared waves are part of the invisible electromagnetic spectrum
(EM). The human body naturally sends out and absorbs far-infrared
waves. The optimal range of wavelengths that has regenerative
effects on our bodies are between 7 and 14 microns – known as
the “Vital Range”. Joy of Raphael is excited to offer far infrared
therapy that emits wavelengths within this “Vital Range”. Japanese
medical researchers suggest that this frequency causes water molecules
to vibrate, which can accelerate the release of toxins from the
body, bringing you multiple health benefits.
Infrared saunas are superior to traditional saunas in that they
operate at lower temperatures of 30-60C compared to traditional
saunas that operate at 85-110 C. This allows you to be able to
breathe comfortably and enjoy the benefits for extended periods
of time. At Joy of Raphael, our sauna emits only soft, dry heat
as opposed to wet heat from traditional saunas that use steam.
The infrared rays penetrate up to 2 inches deep, giving your organs
and tissues a thorough stimulation. This induces sweating 2-3
times as much as conventional saunas. Due to busy schedules, many
of us find it challenging to engage in activities that promote
active sweating. Numerous medical studies show that deep sweating
has multiple benefits such as helping to reduce levels of heavy
metals, pesticides, herbicides, pcbs, and hydrocarbon residues
– all toxins commonly picked up from our environment. Regular
bathing in our dry infrared sauna will allow you to perspire more
quickly and profusely, and hence reap the benefits of a good deep
sweat.
Far infrared rays are safe, naturally occurring and has many benefits
to the human body. They are so safe and beneficial that doctors
use them in hospitals to warm newborn babies. To fully understand
far infrared therapy, imagine placing one thermometer in the sun
and 1 in the shade. The thermometer in the sun is warmed by far
infrared and will read higher, even though the outside temperature
is still the same. The far infrared sauna at Joy of Raphael operates
in the same way as natural sunlight, but without the harmful side
effects of solar UV radiation.
