Relief With Far-Infrared Sauna Therapy Excerpted from: Sick and Tired?
Robert O. Young, PhD. DSc. 1999
Because of the level of pollution we are exposed to and its many sources, as well as poor dietary and exercise habits, the therapeutic value of regular sweating has become immense. It has benefits for both body and mind and, in fact, is the primary benefit of exercise.
One of the best passive exercises is the radiant heat of Far Infrared Sauna Therapy which causes a profound deep sweat. After about 30 minutes of exposure, the blood vessels of the skin dilate to allow more blood to flow to the surface to support the cooling process.
The millions of sweat glands covering the body are infused with fluid from the blood. In turn, they empty to the skin's surface, thereby flushing large amounts of toxins, including toxic acids, and heavy metals, from the body and are as follows;
● Speeds up metabolic processes of vital organs and glands, including endocrine glands.
● Inhibits the development of pleomorphic microforms [fungus, yeasts, bacteria, and molds] and creates a 'fever reaction' of rising temperature that neutralizes them.
● Increases the number of leukocytes in the blood.
● Places demand on the heart to work harder thus, exercising it and also producing a drop in diastolic blood pressure(the low side).
● Stimulates dilation of peripheral blood vessels thus, relieving pain (including muscle pain) and speeding the healing of sprain, strain, bursitis, arthritis, and peripheral vascular disease symptoms.
● Promotes relaxation thereby creating a feeling of well-being.
● For those who are unable to exercise sufficiently, for whatever reason, the radiant heat infrared sauna is an excellent way to get the benefits of exercise without undue stress on the skeleton, muscles, and associated tissues. Such people have an even greater need for exercise and the sauna fills the bill.

Far-Infrared Sauna Therapy Far-Infrared rays penetrate at the cellular level and pull toxins safely through the skin and may burn 600+ calories in a 30-minute period. This is a widely accepted conservative caloric burn average range depending on the level of sauna from a sauna level from 1-9.
Improvements in Patients with Chronic Pain
A study in Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics tested 46 patients with chronic pain using a variety of treatment modalities with and without far-infrared sauna. They found a decrease in pain score, pain behavior, self-rating depression and anger score in both groups of patients, but a more significant drop was noted in the sauna group.
Two years after treatment, more of the patients in the sauna group had returned to work than those without sauna treatment. This may be a very promising method for the treatment of chronic pain.

Improvement in Patients with Congestive Heart Failure
In the Journal of Cardiac Failure, researchers reported statistical improvements in blood pressure, strength of heart (ejection fraction on
echocardiogram), and exercise tolerance while reducing number of hospital admissions for this condition in patients treated with sauna.
Sauna may be an effective adjunctive treatment in this patients with this condition. Miyamoto, H. et al. Safety and efficacy in repeated sauna
bathing in patients with chronic systolic heart failure: a preliminary report. Journal of Cardiac Failure. 2005; 11(6): 432-6.
These claims also supported by Michalsen A, et al. Thermal hydrotherapy improves quality of life and hemodynamic function in patients with chronic heart failure. American Heart Journal. 2003; 146(4): 728-33
A study in Circulation Journal studied 30 patients with congestive heart failure and preventricular contractions (PVCs), delegating half to 60 degree C sauna treatment for 15 minutes followed by bedrest and the other half to 45 minutes of bed rest once a day for two weeks. The researchers found statistical differences in the number of PVCs as well as a statistical improvement in the subjective functional status of the patients. More research is needed for long-term benefits. Kihara, Takashi, et al. Effects of repeated sauna treatment on ventricular arrhythmias in patients with chronic heart failure.
