Skin is our largest organ, eliminating waste via perspiration. Heat causes toxins to be released from your cells into the lymphatic fluid. Since sweat is manufactured from lymphatic fluid, the toxins from the lymph are released when your body perspires.

Far infrared is an old technique in energy medicine but a new technology. After all, the body’s use of infrared rays is literally as old as our species. Traditionally, we’ve gotten our daily dose of infrared from sunlight, which is composed of all the energy wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. Today we’re seeing new technologies employing far-infrared energy in healthcare products and in clinical protocols such as hyperthermic therapies for detoxification and cancer treatment.

Far-Infrared saunas are low heat saunas that have been widely used for their therapeutic effect. They produce two to three times more sweat volume and accelerate the removal of toxic metals as well as organic toxins like PCB's and pesticide residues - chemicals that are stored in the fatty tissues of the body and are not easily dislodged.

Weight loss is also facilitated through the use of a Far-infrared sauna. It has been calculated that you can burn 650 calories in 30 minutes. The Far-infrared sauna actually has an energizing effect on users, making them feel good as toxins are eliminated.

The Far-infrared Sauna's deep penetrating heat increases your heart rate and provides a significant conditioning effect on your cardio-vascular system. NASA research has determined that a Far-infrared sauna is the ideal way for astronauts to keep fit in space. These units are also used by people unable to exercise and a one half hour session is equal to running one mile.
