You might have been watching the Oprah Winfrey Show when Dr. Oz rolled out an impressive box, he called a “life Extension Tool.” It looked like an ordinary sauna, but it wasn’t. He explained that this special type of sauna could help you burn 700 calories in a session without exercising. He was introducing us to one of the many benefits of Infra-red Sauna Detoxification Therapy.

Dr. Oz stated, “It makes the same rays that come from the sun and filters out the UV radiation, so it only gives you the infrared radiation. This type of radiation penetrates your skin so, without burning you or warming the external environment too much, it heats the body up.”

He added that “the high temperature helps lower blood pressure and increase blood circulation. It gets your heart to beat faster, and it burns calories.”

He also explained that it “raises your metabolism a little bit, and when you sweat, you sweat out toxins through the skin.”

Thus, In this blog, we are going to further investigate the benefits of the Infra-red Sauna, an available detoxification and wellness therapy here at the Center for Natural and Integrated Medicine in Orlando.

Toxins are no small matter in the 21st century. Experts tell us “Chemical and heavy metal toxins are now pervasive in our lives and NO ONE is without exposure, even before birth.” Let’s examine the criminal record of toxins in our body:

1. At a basic molecular level, toxins harm DNA. This could mean that our toxic level is damaging not only our present, but our future generations.

2. Research has proven that toxins and heavy metals have lead to neurological problems in hundreds of case studies.

3. Toxins are responsible for damaging our metabolism.

4. There is strong evidence that our daily dose of these poisons interrupts the proper functioning of hormones.

5. The toxins even hinder the assimilation and digestion of nutrients.

It is important that you know that neither young or old are immune from the effects of toxins. The Center thinks that it is a shame that, when toxins and heavy metals afflict older people, they sometimes go unreported. The effects of the toxins should not be an accepted part of the natural process of aging.

The Infra-red of this exceptional type of sauna rays can help you with pain control, high blood pressure, and anxiety, to name only a few. Virtually any patient with a chronic condition can benefit from reducing the influences of environmental toxins with this exceptional type of therapy. It is non-invasive and can be used to soothe and relax you, empowering you with a transcendent sense of wellness.

The traditional hot rock /steam heat saunas only heat the air with steam. This causes you to go uncomfortably hot to unbearably. What’s worse, with the conventional steam sauna, you will “only sweat at the surface of the tissue. Steam also makes the air difficult to breath. Our infrared sauna uses delicate, dry, infrared heat. The experience will be both comfortable and relaxing.”

Side benefits included by this infrared heat therapy include weight loss, improved circulation and gorgeous, glowing skin rejuvenation.

In contrast to the unwise practice of sunbathing, infrared heat therapy is “completely healthy and safe. You can relax in a infra-red sauna and it will never cause your skin to burn.” To further validate Dr. Oz’s television comments from above, many experts state “infrared saunas increase the body’s core temperature, thus resulting in a much deeper, more detoxifying sweat from the cellular level of the skin where many toxins are housed.”

In conclusion you have nothing to lose but your toxins! You have many beautiful benefits to gain. Why not take advantage of this life-extending technology? We invite you to call the Center For Natural and Integrative Medicine for a consultation to discover if this therapy is right for you.
