The Theraputic Power of Far Infrared Heat

Who wouldn't like to come home after work and relax in their personal home far infrared sauna? I know I would! Love Street now offers these luxurious, hardwood, far infrared saunas at great prices! They come in 1, 2, 3 or 4 person models--sized for any home.

Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of radio waves. The radiation hits the surface of the body and heats through a process called conversion, instead of heating the air around you. This is very much like the way the sun heats you--(when you bathe in its light) only without the harmful UVA and UVB rays which can damage your skin.

Far infrared heat is a very natural way to heat the body and stimulate sweat glands, which in turn triggers the body's built-in detoxification system. By regular sweating, we encourage our bodies to rid themselves of toxins and other substances that build up in our systems from everyday pollution, artificial or modified substances in the foods we eat, and daily living. The toxins leave our bodies through our sweat glands, and then can be washed away by showering, or bathing. *Note: when sweating to detoxify, always make sure you drink plenty of spring water both before and after you sweat --an abundance of water in your system allows you to maximize the effectiveness of your sweat, replenishes vital organs after they have detoxed, and ensures toxins have available fluids on which to leave the body through sweat glands.

Detoxification however, is only one of the many benefits of far infrared sauna therapy. By heating your body and activating your sweat glands, your body's metabolism naturally increases. Each minute you are in your sauna, calories are being burned as your body works hard to pump blood, stimulating your cardiovascular system. This stimulation is similar to that of a cardiovascular workout - and with regular use, a far infrared sauna can be an effective weight loss tool! Check out this interview with actor Jeremy Davies on how he used a far infrared sauna to lose weight for a role by clicking HERE. There is also research to support cellulite reduction through far infrared sauna therapy's deep warming capability.

The deep penetrating heat of a far infrared sauna also helps to alleviate muscle pain by dilating blood vessels and increasing blood circulation--giving achy, overworked muscles the nutrients they need to heal. It also serves to lubricate joints, tendons and tissues for a greater range of motion and flexibility--causing an overall decrease in stiffness and joint pain.

Many people cannot endure a traditional sauna's "steam room" heat for very long (traditional saunas can reach an air temperature of 169-190 degrees Fahrenheit!)--as this can cause sensations of light-headedness, low blood sugar or fainting. The air temperature in Love Street's far infrared saunas remains between 100-140 degrees Fahrenheit, and is adjustable by the user. All of the energy used by the sauna goes into heating your body directly, and not the air around you--making them more comfortable to use, efficient and energy-saving.

These far infrared saunas are also quite luxurious! Each model includes lighting inside and out, windows for ventilation, all hardwood cedar construction (for that classic sauna aroma), digital controls, and a Pioneer Stereo system with built-in speakers! This is all in the comfort of your own home. Thus, the benefits are amazing and the price is right for any budget--so why wouldn't you want one of these waiting for you at home?
