How long does a session take?

Anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the desired depth of the treatment.

Does it make you sweat?

No. At least not for the first fifteen minutes or so, for most people. Given at these 15-25 minute sessions, you will feel the deep heat penetrating about 2 inches into the muscles, joints, and discs.

Longer sessions will cause you to sweat, which is actually a good thing, because you sweat out toxins, increase your circulation, burn calories, and boost your immune system.

Do I need a change of clothes?

No, not really. But you can do so if you wish. Most people initially get in for one 15 minute session while wearing their regular clothes and get the benefits without even breaking a small sweat.

But for longer sessions, we do provide shorts, shirts, robes, and plenty of towels.

How many people have a session at a time?

We typically allow one person in at a time, for privacy sake. But our sauna can hold up to four people comfortably. Patients are invited to include their own guests and family members to join them at any time.

How much does it cost for a small sesion?

Not much, if anything at all. We provide this service as a gift to our patients to demonstrate our appreciation for the opportunity to serve them.

INFRA RED SAUNA

Infra Red Saunas Provide Relief
Infra red saunas can provide relief to patients suffering from injuries, overexertion, muscle sorenes, tension, arthritis, poor circulation, slow metabolism, toxic overload, lowered resistance, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, autism, and certain skin conditions. Infra red saunas provide heat therapy which has been shown in several medical studies to have health benefits.

Infra red saunas are completely safe and natural. Infra red saunas are used to provide heat all over the body for relaxation, pain relief, to lower blood pressure and much more.

Infra Red Saunas and the History of Far Infrared Technology
For years, the average consumer's familiarity with Far infrared came from the use of Far infrared heat lamps which produce radiant heat. Then, in the mid 1960's NASA discovered that a number of mineral oxides were also capable of generating Far infrared waves. After using various Far infrared products in the space program, no further developments occurred at NASA using this technology. However, according to Sang Wang, author of Reverse Aging, the Japanese saw other uses.

Today, over 150 patents have been granted to the Japanese for products such as: Far infrared saunas, Far infrared ovens that replace microwaves, Far infrared panels for incubators in maternity wards as well as Far infrared wave-generating ceramics and fabrics. According to Dr. Tsu-Tsair Oliver Chi, in his summation on the mechanism of action of Far infrared devices tuned to the human body, "...these rays are selectively absorbed by tissues needing a boost in their output. The internal production of Far infrared energy is associated with a variety of healing responses and may require a boost to a maximal level to insure the fullest healing response possible in a tissue which is being repaired. After boosting a tissue's level to its maximum, the remaining rays pass onward harmlessly. This phenomenon is called 'resonant-absorption.'"

Over the past 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have conducted extensive research on Far infrared treatments and report numerous benefits. In Japan, there is an Infrared Society, composed of medical doctors and physical therapists, to further research and support the health benefits as amethod of healing.

Far Infrared Cellular Purification
Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki, MD owns a clinic in Japan where she has done extensive research on the therapeutic uses of Far infrared. In her book, "The Science of Far-Infrared Therapies," she explains that one of the reasons Far infrared has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses is the ability of Far infrared waves to remove toxins, which are often at the core of many health problems. Since humans are bio-accumulators, numerous toxins, that cannot be removed immediately after entry, are stored in our bodies.

The Infra Red Sauna Experience

Infrared saunas are able to operate at a lower temperature than traditional saunas due to the high wavelength of infra red light. This allows for an effective, comfortable, and relaxing sauna experience.

Infrared is a dry heat that penetrates right through your clothes and deep into the muscles and joints. The average session takes only 10 - 15 minutes, and causes no sweating. Longer sessions usually produce the release of toxins through the sweat glands.

Some of the benefits of Infra Red Sauna include:
