Medical Information on Infrared Saunas
Sweat your way to better health.
The healthy process of sweating in a Physiotherm infrared therapy sauna at a temperature of between 30 and 40 degrees Celcius is an excellent method of improving or even removing various ailments. Regular infrared deep heat therapy treatments increase the metabolic rate and detoxify the body. A strong, consistent flow of energy is the key to alleviating tension. By enhancing the blood circulation in the back, a cocktail of endorphins is released bringing your body into a state of wellbeing. Several studies and expert statements prove: Users of Physiotherm deep infrared heat therapy are healthier, happier, and have more energy at their disposal.
The Experts Agree
Here is a statement from Dr. Ralf Kleef, Head Physician at The Institute for Heat and Immune Therapy in Vienna:
“From 35 degrees Celcius, the special Physiotherm technique brings about optimal perspiration, it cleanses and regenerates without putting strain on the circulation. From inside the cabin the intensity level can be adjusted to suit the individual user. Physiotherm low temperature cabins, which operate within the therapeutically effective wavelength range, have been used very successfully within our Institute for Heat and Immune Therapy in Vienna.”
Mercury Detoxification
Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki from Japan has done extensive research on the uses of far infrared therapy. In her book The Science of Far Infrared Therapies, she explains that one of the main reasons that far infrared therapy has such beneficial results on a variety of different illnesses is due to the fact that far infrared is able to remove mercury toxins, which are often at the core of many health problems.
