Benefits of Far Infrared Saunas

If you have health issues, or if you are on the path of striving to have excellent health, an infrared
sauna is one of the best tools to have in your health arsenal.

Cardiovascular benefits

Your body cools itself by sweating. To boost circulation to the skin to aid this sweating process, your heart has to work harder. Using an infrared sauna regularly may be equivalent to undertaking regular moderate exercise, increasing your heart rate and helping your cardiovascular fitness. As an infrared sauna heats your body without heating the surrounding air, it means that these results can be obtained at temperatures lower (and more tolerable) than those of conventional saunas.

Detoxification

Every single day our bodies are exposed to countless toxins via the environment we live and work in, together with the foods and drinks we consume. Sweating is one of the ways in which your body can eliminate these toxins and use of an infrared sauna encourages this process. The heat energy of an infrared sauna penetrates tissues to approximately 1.5 inches, helping to shift toxins, such as heavy metals, from fat cells which can then be removed by sweating.

Relaxation

Use of an infrared sauna provides an ideal opportunity for some well-deserved ‘me time’, allowing you to relax body and mind in a warm, comfortable environment.

Musculoskeletal benefits

By increasing blood flow to soft tissues and muscles, using a sauna helps to deliver oxygen and remove waste products to these tissues. This may help with sports injuries or aid recovery from training. Infrared sauna use may also help ease age-related joint pain and stiffness.

Skin benefits

The increased blood flow to the skin from infrared sauna use may help aid healing of skin conditions e.g. psoriasis, acne and eczema. The detoxification resulting from increased sweating may also help improve the appearance of cellulite.

Immune benefits

Fever has an important role in helping your body fight off bacterial and viral infections. By raising your body temperature slightly, using an infrared sauna may help boost your immune system.

We can supply further information, but we would always recommend that you check with your doctor before far infrared sauna use.

Will far infrared sauna cure Gout Pain?

Relax Saunas based in Omagh Northern Ireland have reported great results from customers who have purchased a Sauna for personal use and found out much to their amazement that their gout pain and symptoms cleared up within 5 /7 days after using their new far infrared.

What is Gout?

Gout is a systemic disease caused by the build-up of uric acid in the joints, causing inflammation, swelling, and pain. This condition can develop for two reasons. The liver may produce more uric acid than the body can excrete in the urine, or a diet of rich foods (e.g., red meat, cream sauces, red wine) puts more uric acid into the bloodstream than the kidneys can filter. In both cases, a condition called hyperuricemia results. Over time, the uric acid crystallizes and settles in the joint spaces, most commonly in the first metatarsal phalangeal joint of the big toe or in the ankle joint. Signs and Symptoms: Inflammation. Swelling. Tenderness in the joint of the first toe. Touching or moving the joint is intensely painful. Patients often say it hurts to have as much as a bed sheet over the toe. Gout develops quickly. Typically occurs in only one joint at a time. May develop in two or three joints simultaneously, but this is rare. If widespread symptoms occur, the condition is probably not gout. Please always consult your Doctor

Treatment

Treatment for gout involves decreasing the amount of uric acid in the joint. If dietary habits are the cause, the patient`s lifestyle must be changed to avoid the condition. We recommend using the safe far infrared natural healing method. For long term results we suggest monitoring your dietary habits and using Far Infrared Socks and clothing.

Prevention

Alcohol and rich foods are primary contributors to excessive uric acid levels. Although some patients have a genetic predisposition to excessive uric acid production, most gout patients have normal kidneys and uncontrolled dietary habits. Prevention is the best defence against the disease. Many patients who suffer from gout continue to indulge, and suffer frequent painful attacks as a result. The continued accumulation of uric acid in the joints eventually damages them, seriously inhibiting movement. Although traditional medication makes it possible to live with gout, the Far infrared sauna will actually help to break down the Uric Acid Crystals and reduce the acidity levels in the blood. FAR infrared Sauna Could Reduce Uric Acid Levels.

FAR infrared Saunas

Could Reduce Uric Acid! Far Infrared Rays emitted from the far infrared sauna helps to break down the Uric acid crystals. This will reduce the pain and swelling and help to reduce the acidity in the cells. FAR infrared Sauna during the morning or night time, you can feel confident that micro circulation is improving, toxins are being flushed, fresh nutrients and oxygen are reaching the cellular level, and bacteria growth is inhibited.

Complications of Gout?

Where high uric acid has been present for a long time and acute gout has been frequent and severe, deposits of uric acid salts may appear around the affected joint and even in tissues elsewhere such as the ears. These are seen as chalk coloured nodules called tophi. Their presence indicates the need for treatment with one or other of the long term uric acid lowering drugs. High uric acid levels and recurrent gout are often associated with high blood pressure which your doctor will check and treat as necessary. This combination of hyperuricaemia and high blood pressure can lead to kidney damage so it is all the more important, not just because of the effects on the joints, to correct this state of affairs through the proper use of all the measures mentioned above under your doctor`s supervision.
