We all know that the major and most apparent benefit we get from the sauna is pure, unadulterated relaxation and perhaps, the supplest skin we could ever imagine. However, studies now show that regular use of the infrared sauna may treat common body ailments as well.

A portable infrared sauna is a wooden box with installed infrared heaters and operates by means of an infrared radiator. It’s more efficient in the sense that without having to heat the air inside, the heater emits radiant energy, similar to that of the sun. The advantage of infrared radiation is that it heats the skin directly without having to immensely increase the air’s temperature. The heat is then able to penetrate approximately more than 1.5 inches of the body, thus heating and stimulating body tissues.

One of the most important benefits one could get from an infrared sauna is body detoxification. With the infrared heat causing the body to sweat, and blood vessels and capillaries to dilate, overall blood circulation is improved. Also, cholesterol levels of the body are controlled.

Studies from Finland have shown that a sauna treatment is like giving your heart a healthy work-out. The heat helps dilate and contract heart vessels and in doing so, increases the heart rate and gets the entire cardiovascular system working.

Sports enthusiasts and non-athletes who have regular sauna treatments have enjoyed less aches and pains in the muscles and joints. They experience significantly less muscle spasms and stiffness of the joints. Conditions such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Myofacial Pain Syndrome may also be treated.

Other sauna benefits include: relieved sinus congestion, removal of body toxins (such as alcohol and nicotine), more restful sleep, weight management (US research shows that a regular sauna session can burn up to 300 calories), clear skin (sauna heat improves skin elasticity and dead skin cells are replaced), and helps augment healthy kidney function.

So just by having the most relaxing seat at a portable infrared sauna, you can effortlessly gain an overall sense of well-being. The benefits are invaluable.
