Sauna Benefits

All the following claims are not supported by medical evidence. Just from far infrared sauna manufacturers and marketers.

Detoxification
Claimed to stimulate the body to release fat-soluble toxins, heavy metals, and other
toxic chemicals through the pores more effectively.

Immune System Enhancement
A typical sauna session will cause degree increase in body temperature. This side effect is said to trigger the production of white blood cells.

Stress
Allowing the capillaries to dilate may improve circulation, thus stress levels are reduced.

Weight Control
Although weight loss from perspiration is quickly regained, sending more blood to the capillaries and converting fats results in as much as 600 calories during one session.

Cardiovascular Conditioning
The human body will naturally try and cool itself as temperature increases. It does this by diverting blood from internal organs to the extremities and skin by vasodilatation.

Cellulite
Cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes, which are trapped in pockets below the skin.  Profuse sweating is purported to clear this form of unwanted debris.

Pain Relief and Control
Claims to eliminate or reduce the pain of arthritis, muscle spasms, shoulder pain, neck and back pain, sprains of any area, and reduce scar tissue and adhesions.

Skin Cleansing
Claims to open clogged pores allowing for removal of dirt, oil, and makeup.  In addition, there is improvements in skin problems such as acne, rashes, burns, eczema and psoriasis. Scars, even keloids, may be gradually softened.
