Doorway to a Healthy Life with Infrared Saunas! (TM)

• Heating an area of the body produces vasodilation in other body areas. Heat one extremity and another extremity also dilates.
• Heating muscles causes blood flow to increase, that is seen during exercise.
• Higher temperature increases blood flow and dilation in capillaries, arterioles and venules. Sweat-gland activity produces increased blood flow and vasodilatation.
• Whole-body hyperthermia, ( A sauna session ) promotes temperature elevation.

The following problems are associated with poor circulation. Most respond positively to the increased peripheral dilation associated with Infrared Heat Therapy:

Arthritis, Bursitis, Fatigue, Hemorrhoids, Leg and Decubitus Ulcers, Menstrual Cramps, Nervous Tension, Diabetes, Children's Neuritis, Over-tired Muscles, Varicose Veins, Rheumatism, Strained Muscles, Stretch Marks, Sciatica Backaches, Upset Stomaches

Infrared heat saunas makes it possible for people who are unable to exercise or will not follow an exercising and conditioning program to achieve a cardiovascular training effect.

" Many who run do so to place a demand on the cardiovascular system. Regular use of a sauna can impart a similar stress on the cardiovascular system. Regular use can be as effective, as a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories and regular exercise."

As reported in the Journal of American Medical Association, August 7, 1987.

Deep penetration into the skin, of the infrared rays generated by the infrared sauna heats muscular tissues and the internal organs. The body responds to this and increases both heart volume and rate. This beneficial stress leads to cardiovascular training and conditioning. Research confirms the use of a sauna provides cardiovascular conditioning as the body works to cool itself. This involves increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. NASA in the early 1980's concluded that infrared stimulation of cardiovascular function would be the ideal way to maintain cardiovascular conditioning in astronauts on long space flights.
