Using an infrared sauna is easier than you think. There are simple guidelines you can follow to increase overall beneficial results from your sauna sessions.

As you become more familiar and comfortable with your infrared sauna, you can adjust these guidelines to fit your personal needs. Always remember to drink plenty of fluids prior to, during, and after your sauna session.

Begin by preheating your infrared sauna to a desired temperature. This can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes depending on the size of your sauna and the ambient temperature.

The most common temperatures for beginners will be in the range of 110° F to 118° F. Experiment within this range to find what is comfortable for you.

While you are waiting for your sauna to preheat, there are a few ways you can prepare for your sauna session. Taking a warm bath/shower or doing some light physical exercises will prepare your body for the sauna session. These activities will shorten the amount of time it will take for your body to begin perspiring once you enter the sauna.

Now you are ready to begin your session. Start with one or two sauna session(s) per week. When entering the sauna, wear as little clothing as possible. Infrared rays have difficulty penetrating clothing. Take at least two towels inside the sauna with you, one to sit on and the other to wipe away perspiration.

Adjust the timer to reflect a 15 to 20 minute session. Gradually, you can increase this time with future sessions. Use your session to relax, meditate, and escape from your everyday stress.

Enjoy the benefits of your infrared sauna as you detox your body through perspiration. Massage areas of the body that ache to relieve sore and tense muscles. From time to time, wipe off the excess perspiration to allow for more intense sweating. If at any time you feel dizzy, sleepy, or any discomfort, exit the sauna immediately.

After your sauna session is over, turn the power off and sit in the sauna with the door opened slightly for about 10 minutes and let your body cool down. Although the sauna heat emitters are turned off, your body will still continue to perspire. Once your body has cooled down, you can exit the sauna.

Wait at least 20 minutes before taking a warm shower to rinse the perspiration from your body.

Weight Loss

A sauna session can help you burn up to 600 calories, equivalent to 30 minutes of rowing. Infrared sauna sessions get your heart to beat faster and that burns calories.  The heat penetrates below the skin and helps break down the fat and water particles in pockets beneath the skin. Those who have been unsuccessful in dieting often times are toxic and are successful after using an Infrared Sauna. It is a great alternative to physical exercise for those who cannot physically exert themselves. Here is an example of how many calories a 150-pound person normally burns up in 30 minutes of exercise: Some weight loss authorities believe that our bodies use fat to dilute toxins. As an Infrared Sauna is an unsurpassed in expelling toxins, it may also be a great way to get rid of any fat our bodies are using to dilute toxins we are storing.

Immune System

A typical sauna session will cause a brief (and minor) increase in body temperature, identical to the body's defense mechanism against bacteria, microbes, and infection. The beneficial side effect of this induced temperature increase is immune system improvement resulting from increased production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by your bone marrow and killer T cells by your thymus. When toxins are present in our body blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body's immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult for the body to fight disease.

Removing Toxins

When toxins are present in our body blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body's immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult for the body to fight disease. When the infrared heat is applied the large water molecules in our bodies that contain toxic gases like sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, lead , mercury and chlorine vibrate and are broken down. The encapsulated toxic materials and gases are then released. Infrared heat is often used in the treatment of clogged capillaries, the heat expands the capillaries and skin pores to expel the toxins from the body. One can tolerate and even enjoy Infrared heat for longer periods of time than the heat from a Hot tub or steam bath, therefore the sweating from infrared heat promotes the most beneficial detoxification.

Decreases Joint Stiffness and Pain Relief

Heat has been shown to reduce pain sensation by direct action on both free-nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves. In one dental study, repeated heat applications led finally to the abolishment of the whole nerve responsible for pain arising from dental pulp. Heat may both lead to increased endorphin production and a shutting down of the "spinal gate" each of which can reduce pain.

In an infrared sauna the heat penetrates deeper and faster into the human body in contrast to the humid, surface heat of a traditional sauna. An infrared sauna uses less energy, heats up much quicker and is effective at a lower temperature so that one can tolerate the heat for a longer session thus increasing the benefits of the sauna. Conventional Sauna Infrared heat penetrates almost 2 inches deep into your muscles and bones for optimum therapy. With infrared heat your body will produce 3 times more perspiration removing 4 times more harmful toxins and waste from the body. Leaving you healthier and your skin better glowing!

As featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, medical expert Dr. Mehmet Oz and frequent contributor said,“Far infrared saunas are finally getting the mainstream media attention they deserve."

In a special segment titled “Extreme Life Extension,” Dr. Oz unveiled several technological marvels designed to enhance and extend life. He and Ms. Winfrey actually sat in the sauna while he talked very specifically about the unique health benefits far infrared saunas provide. In case you missed it, we want to fill you in on the highlights.

LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE

Dr. Oz first pointed out that far infrared saunas are different than regular saunas. “Here’s the key: This infrared sauna works a little differently than a normal sauna because it makes the same rays that come from the sun and filters out the UV radiation leaving only infrared radiation, which is lightly absorbed into your skin. So without heating you up in the external environment too much, it heats the body up,” he explained. Dr. Oz noted why this feature of heating the body is significant, “The reason that’s important is that we’ve actually shown that people who take saunas a couple times a week actually drop their blood pressure.” The environment is much more comfortable too. “The reason that infrared saunas work reasonably well is because they don’t hurt your lungs if you take a deep breath. People can be comfortable here,” Dr. Oz said. This is important news for anyone with blood pressure issues or who has trouble with traditional saunas. But there’s more…

DETOXIFICATION

Infrared Saunas are an excellent tool for detoxification in addition to being a great support to those who are not able to get the benefit of exercise – those with a disability, injury or difficulty being mobile. “So folks who can’t exercise, for example, can at least do saunas to raise their metabolism a little bit. And, of course, when they sweat, they sweat out toxins through the skin. So one thing you always want to do after you’ve been in an infrared sauna is to wash yourself to get whatever toxins are on your skin off, “Dr. Oz said.

WEIGHT LOSS

After sitting for a short while in the infrared sauna, Ms. Winfrey was ready to get out – that was – until Dr. Oz told her and the audience about the potential weight loss benefits with regular use of an infrared sauna. Dr. Oz said, “It increase blood circulation. The reason that’s important is that it gets your heart to beat faster and it burns calories.” Ms. Winfrey smiled as she suddenly decided to stay seated, and playfully said, “Oh, so THIS is what you mean?” Yes, sitting and enjoying an infrared sauna can actually support your weight loss efforts!

EXTEND YOUR LIFE

Medical Researchers have been reporting on the health benefits of far infrared sauna therapy for a long time. In addition to the life extension features Dr. Oz discussed on The Oprah Winfrey Show, we’ve covered how it helps support those who suffer from fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and even autism. The circulatory and blood pressure lowering benefits are well documented as well. And let’s not forget that one of the best benefits of regular use of an infrared sauna is relaxation. In today’s demanding world on the individual, stress reduction is more important than ever. Incorporating far infrared heat therapy into your health routine may not only extend your life, it can enhance its quality today.”
