Infrared Sana Treatments

Infrared Sauna

Far infrared saunas have shown to assist in the following:

Far infrared saunas can also provide relief to patients suffering from arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and certain skin conditions.

Solocarbon Far infrared sauna therapy surrounds the body and penetrates deeply into joints, muscles and tissues, speeding oxygen flow and increasing circulation. Natural body healing with Sunlight Saunas therapy leads to a healthier lifestyle for you and those around you.

Why Doctors Recommend Far Infrared

Daily Health Routine:
an apple, mild exercise, and a relaxing sauna session.

FIR waves, reflected from the Sunlight Sauna to the body, provide concentrated radiant energy, similar to that from the sun.  When any tissue in the body is exposed to Far infrared waves, whether radiated by sunlight, reflected by specially coated fabrics or panels, there is a rapid increase in warmth which can be shown by thermography.  This heat plus the activation of several other response mechanisms stimulates the healing processes. 

For example, Far infrared waves from Sunlight Saunas:

  1. Increase blood flow by promoting dilation (expansion) of the micro-circulatory system of capillaries.
  2. Reduce muscle spasms as muscle fibers are heated.
  3. Remove toxins from the site receiving Far infrared waves.
  4. Assist in the reduction of swelling and inflammation by improving lymph flow.
  5. Reduce soreness through direct action on both free nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves.

At the cellular level, researchers have discovered the Far infrared wave lengths between 7 and 14 microns (the same as all Sunlight Saunas):

  1. Stimulate enzyme activity.
  2. Promote the adhesion and osmosis of water molecules across the cellular membrane.
  3. Attract calcium ions to the cellular membrane. Far infrared waves of the sun are that part of the light spectrum most responsible for the ripening of fruits which converts other carbohydrates into sugar.  This process of reducing acidity can be tested by putting half a lemon in the sun for one or two days or on an Far infrared coated plate for about one hour.  The Far infrared exposed half will be significantly sweeter than the other half.

Sweat out heavy metals and other toxins with far infrared cellular purification.
Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki, MD owns a clinic in Japan where she has done extensive research on the therapeutic uses of far infrared. In her book, "The Science of far infrared Therapies," she explains that one of the reasons far infrared has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses is the ability of far infrared waves to remove toxins, which are often at the core of many health problems. Since humans are bio-accumulators, numerous toxins, that cannot be removed immediately after entry, are stored in our bodies.

For example, when toxic gases such as sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide or toxic substances such as lead, mercury or chlorine meet large water molecules, they are encapsulated by the clusters of water. Where these toxins are accumulated, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. However, when a 10 micron far infrared wave is applied to these large water molecules, the water begins to vibrate.

This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms which are holding together the molecules of water. As the breakdown of the water molecules occurs, encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released. Scientists in Japan report that in the far infrared wave treatment of clogged capillary vessels, a similar process occurs: heat expands the capillaries and then initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins.
