D: And all this just from sweating using infrared.
It’s truly remarkable. But sweating is what the body
naturally wants to do. We live in a toxic society. An unprecedented amount of
toxins in our air, water, our food. We cannot possibly sweat enough to get this
stuff out of our body because we need to do an unprecedented amount of sweating
just to keep up with the daily intake.
So if you sit in one of these saunas, you can sweat enough
to remove the daily dose that you get of these toxins. But it doesn’t overheat
your body so you don’t have the traditional risks associated with sauna therapy
or any heat therapy.
I studied heat therapy in over a dozen countries around the world as I
worked as a foreign journalist.
The volcanic springs of Costa Rica, in the hot springs of
the Sea of Galilee in the Middle East, in the amethyst saunas of Korea, the
people’s hot bath houses in Germany, in the Alps of Italy.
Benefits… and risks of hot saunas
And in every one of these places there’s a risk associated
with the benefit. And the risk is overheating your body or scalding your skin.
Now these are the two things you have to be very careful of. And through the
millennia there are people who have enjoyed the benefits of heat therapy and
there are people who can’t stand it.
Most people we talk to, particularly women, will say “Boy,
I’ve never been able to go in a sauna because I just can’t stand the heat. I
can’t last more than three minutes in a sauna because I feel faint or I feel
nauseous or I get a headache.
Low temperature sauna doesn’t have these problems.
None of that happens in the saunas that we build because you’re
operating at a lower temperature. In fact, the key mark is below body
temperature. Once you’re breathing over 98.6 degrees, once the air is hotter
than that your lungs start to overheat. Your heart kicks in to pump blood to
the extremities. But if you’re breathing air just under that temperature, your
body is quite comfortable breathing that air because it’s less than your body
temperature. So that’s the key to being able to be in our saunas and sit there.
We have people who are very, very sick from environmental
illnesses and they’ll sit in there for two hours. And they don’t over heat
their body.
