Far Infrared Sauna
Quick Highlights of Health Benefits of Saunas
Circulation and Immunity
Imagine being outside on an otherwise fairly chilly day, say 50 degrees F, but when the sun is out you feel quite comfortable. Then a cloud masks the sun’s rays and you instantly feel the chill. What’s going on? Infrared light. Infra is from the Latin for “below,” so infrared light is that spectrum just below the red, or visible spectrum of light. Infrared light is emitted by the sun and covers a broad spectrum, is divided into three sections by scientists – near, mid and far infrared light – and the entire spectrum is responsible for delivering warmth and other benefits to living things on earth. And there is no need to worry – infrared light occupies the spectrum far below that of ultraviolet or microwaves, and infrared light, unlike those two forms, does not cause sunburn or skin damage. In essence, infrared is a source of radiant heat, simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, where the air in between the heat source and the object is not heated. The best source of radiant heat is in the Far Infrared spectrum.
This kind of radiant heat source has a multitude of benefits for the human body, particularly when harnessed in a LuxSPA Sauna. One of the first benefits is that Far Infrared warming promotes a boost in blood circulation. It does this by creating profuse sweating in a very short time, which opens the bloods vessels and gets the blood flowing. Greater blood flow increasing the oxygen level in the body, and together with profuse sweating, these two therapies are powerful forces combining to cleanse toxins stored in the tissues, washing away impurities and improving your emotions and feelings.
What’s more, Far Infrared light as a heat source promotes the production of white blood cells in the body – the body’s own built-in immunity agents. With more white blood cells, the body’s immune system is healthier, giving a person a greater ability to fight off disease and enjoy a better quality of life.
Weight Loss
LuxSPA FIR Sauna Technology burns up to 600 & more calories in just one 30-minute session. Here are how many calories a 150-pound person normally burns up in 30 minutes of exercise:
- SPORT : CALORIES
- Rowing (peak effort) : 600
- Swimming (crawl stroke) : 300
- Jogging : 300
- Tennis (fast game) : 265
- Chopping Wood : 265
- Cycling (10mph) : 225
- Golfing (without a cart) : 150
- Walking (3.5mph) : 150
- Bowling : 120
- Vigorous Racquet Ball : 510
- Marathon Running 593
So you can immediately see the weight-loss benefits of a LuxSPA Sauna as a simple 30-minute session in a FIR sauna is as efficient in burning calories as even the most vigorous of athletic workouts. Plus, some weight loss authorities believe that our bodies use fat to dilute toxins, so as the body stores toxins, it also stores fat. Since a Far Infrared LuxSPA is an unsurpassed expeller of toxins, it is also a great way to get rid of any fat our bodies are using to dilute toxins we are storing. We detoxify and lose body fat.

SPECIFIC SKIN IMPROVEMENT:
Acne- Infrared Lasers versus Far Infrared Sauna or Infrared Lamp. “Infrared saunas are becoming a very popular method to treat acne – particularly very resistant cases. They seem to work by shrinking the sebaceous glands, and you get relatively quick results.” — Jeffrey Dover, MD, Boston, ELLE Magazine March 2004. According to the doctor, three to four infrared sauna treatments like those in a LuxSPA Sauna appear to open pores that have been malfunctioning for years, forcing out clogging cosmetics and loosening dry outer skin, healing acne and scars — WITHOUT PAIN.
Sunburn- According to the Clayton’s Electrotherapy, 9th Edition, infrared radiation is the only antidote to excessive ultraviolet radiation.
Scars on Skin- Scars fully formed, may be gradually softened. Burns and other wounds or incisions may heal with significantly reduced scarring.
Cellulite
Cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes, which are trapped in pockets below the skin. A Far Infrared LuxSPA Saunacan assist this condition, as profuse sweating helps clear this form of unwanted debris from the body. European beauty specialists confirm that a sauna will greatly speed any anti-cellulite program. Due to at least twice the depth of heat penetration into cellulite combined with up to 10 times the level of heating in these tissues, a Far Infrared LuxSPA Sauna is FAR more effective than any conventional sauna.
Pain Relief
With the use of both Bio-Spectrum 100% Carbon and 100% Ceramic heaters, LuxSPA Saunas have proven to be effective for arthritis pain, injuries, back pain, muscle spasms, headache, sciatica and more!
