A recent study published in Photonics & Lasers in Medicine examined the use of far infrared radiation, or FIR, in stimulating cells and tissue. While the researchers drew no definitive conclusions about the technique’s effectiveness, they did note its promise. Science is catching up to what Life. Health. Happiness. in Englewood, CO, already knows: infrared radiation from a sauna or other sources is an effective, holistic health treatment with benefits throughout the body.

Infrared Sauna Benefits

1. Detox

Toxins built up in your body are released through sweat — and there’s no faster way to start sweating than to use a sauna. Purge harmful chemicals from your body and enjoy the feeling of refreshment after your detox.

2. Burn Calories

As your body tries to cool itself, your heart rate and metabolic rate both increase without you lifting a finger. This helps your body burn calories more quickly even while you rest, aiding in weight loss.

3. Relax

Infrared saunas produce a soothing, relaxing atmosphere which will allow you to rest comfortably while you reap the holistic health benefits of the facility. Relaxation helps decrease stress and lower blood pressure, keeping you healthy as well as happy.

4. Relieve Pain

Have you ever applied heat to a sore back or wrist? Muscle aches, joint pain and chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia all benefit from the heat treatment a sauna provides.

5. Promote Healing

One of the most exciting features of infrared radiation is its effect on the body’s natural healing process. Infrared stimulates the cells, increasing tissue growth, accelerating healing and helping the skin fight the effects of aging.
