Richmond Natural Medicine’s New Infrared Sauna is Available For Current Patients

Taking a pause from the day to relax in the soothing warmth of an infrared sauna seems like incentive enough to try this gentle therapy for yourself.  However, if you need a few more reasons to check out infrared then consider these benefits.

Detoxify: Sweating to release toxins is perhaps the benefit most associated with the sauna experience. The process of warming the body increases circulation and triggers the sweat glands. Many studies suggest that sweat helps to detoxify the body by releasing heavy metals, urea, bisphenol-A, and phthalates. Additionally, it improves blood flow and reduces blood pressure.

What’s good for the inside is good for the outside too, and sweating helps to unclog pores and improve the health of your skin.

Pain Relief: As the infrared light warms the body from the inside out, it increases the circulation of the blood and the flow of oxygen. This brings a feeling of relief to patients with muscle soreness, arthritis and related conditions, and helps to speed the healing process.

Better sleep: Relaxing in the quiet warmth of the infrared sauna environment is a perfect way to calm the body and the mind. Often a reset of body temperature—from neutral to warm and then to cool—combined with the soothing heat of the sauna can aid in improving sleep.

Also, relaxing helps to balance cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone, says Amy Myers, MD, author of The Autoimmune Solutions who encourages including infrared sauna visits as part of an overall wellness plan.

Weight loss—the process of warming the body and sweating is likely to produce some weight loss, just as with exercise. This may be an added benefit or, for individuals with certain medical conditions, it may be a low-stress way to elevate the heart rate and improve circulation.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, 30 minutes of Infrared sauna may burn as many as 600 calories.

Immune System support: As the body’s core temperature rises, it works to strengthen the immune system and promotes healing.  Studies have even suggested that infrared sauna use provides a reduction in fatigue associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
