An infrared sauna is different than a conventional sauna. The infrared sauna uses Far Infrared heat which is better at penetrating the body’s tissues than regular heat from a conventional sauna. This is only one of the many sauna benefits of the infrared sauna. The energy output of Far Infrared heat corresponds very closely to our body’s own radiant energy which allows our bodies to absorb close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin.

If you have lived with poor health haven’t you wondered if your health would ever return to normal? I lived with sciatic pain for about ten years and I seriously wondered if I would have to live with pain the rest of my life. If you can relate with me or would like to maintain your healthy life style then I suggest looking into the many sauna benefits of using an infrared sauna.

Here are 8 amazing sauna benefits you can enjoy from using an infrared West Coast Sauna.

Sauna Benefits #1: Pain Relief

Penetrate up to 1.5” deep into muscle tissue, 93% of Infrared energy is absorbed through our skin. The benefit of heating these tissues is that it relaxes the muscles cell’s which causes the blood vessels to widen. This helps in reducing muscle spasms, joint stiffness and achiness, as well as general aches and pains due to conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Sauna Benefits #2: Detoxification

The skin plays an essential role in eliminating unwanted toxins. Toxins are stored in fat cells and the deep heat penetration of West Coast Saunas’ infrared technology removes these toxins form the fat cells. Detoxifying helps rid your body of potential carcinogenic heavy metals such as mercury and lead, as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol.

Sauna Benefits #3: Weight Loss

Millions of people struggle with losing weight. Your body works hard at maintaining a constant core temperature which it does by increasing peripheral blood flow and by sweating. The Far Infrared heat from a West Coast Sauna will actually help your body lose weight. An average infrared sauna user can produce 500 grams of sweat and burn 350 calories during a therapeutic infrared sauna session. This is the equivalent of running 2-3 miles.

Sauna Benefits #4: Cardiovascular Health

Physical exercise is good but if you’re like me jogging can really make your knees hurt. And cardiovascular conditioning is important for our health. Here is some good news - You can get the effects of cardiovascular conditioning through West Coast Saunas’ Far Infrared heat therapy without exerting yourself! Research suggests that blood pressure is reduced by regular infrared heat therapy sessions so get your heart into shape as you relax.

Sauna Benefits #5: Stress Relief & Relaxation

Life can be stressful and stress isn’t good for our health. Setting in an infrared sauna will increase you circulation which releases endorphins, loosens tight muscles and makes you feel better all over. Using an infrared sauna is a great way to relax.

Sauna Benefits #6: Beautification of Skin

You will look and feel better as the Far Infrared heat increases the blood circulation to your skin which brings fresh nutrients to the surface. Your skin will look better because the infrared sauna will help you sweat away those toxins that accumulate deep within your pores such as make-up, dirt, lotions and conditioners.

Sauna Benefits #7: Tissue Elasticity

Flexibility can add to your overall health. Studies have shown that tissues heated to 130° and then stretched have exhibited an elastic elongation that persists long after the stretch is removed. Therapeutic benefits were also seen in working with ligaments, tendons, fascia, joint capsules and symposiums that have become scarred, thickened or contracted.

Sauna Benefits #8: Chromo Therapy or Light Therapy

When our bodies become out of balance, we get sick. Extensive research has shown that color and light will help bring our physical and emotional systems into balance. Color works through and in us, in every nerve, cell, gland and muscle.
