Far Infrared Sauna
TreatmentsWe have a new healing modality to offer that we are
really excited about. It is a Far Infrared Sauna Therapy. Briefly, Far Infrared is an
invisible band of light that warms objects without warming the air between the source and the object and is able to penetrate the
body from 1.5 to 3.5 inches, allowing beneficial heat with out the extremely high temperatures of a traditional sauna. For more
detailed information, see below the pricing info.
Cost: $40. per 30-35 min.
Special Introductory session $25

What Health Benefits Does One Receive When Using a Far Infrared Sauna?
Improves Cardiovascular System. Whilst you calmly relax in the soothing warmth of the High Tech Health Far Infrared Sauna, your body is hard at work. A 30-minute sauna creates approximately the same amount of perspiration as a 10-kilometre run. As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder to boost circulation, thus improving your cardiovascular system. (It should also be noted that increased circulation has been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions, and cuts. Open wounds heal faster, reducing scarring. Peripheral blood vessels dilate to help heal muscles and soft tissue whilst delivering oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles.)
Strengthens Immune System. Your immune system is also boosted because, as your body temperature rises, your systems fight this "artificial fever."
Provides Important Detoxification. Far infrared helps detoxify your body by removing the accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals and chemicals.
Benefits the Skin. Profuse perspiration also deeply cleanses the skin, creating beautiful and improved tone, texture, and color.
Assists in Weight Control and Removing Cellulite. The High Tech Health Far Infrared Sauna is also exceptional for burning calories, controlling weight, and removing cellulite. A single sauna session will burn as many calories as you would rowing a boat for 30 minutes. Weight loss occurs because body fat becomes water soluble at 110oF and the body will remove it through sweat. Most people who have attempted weight loss by dieting without success will be pleased with the results from the far infrared sauna. Often the inability to lose weight is associated with chemical toxicity.
Provides Immense Relaxation. The most immediate and noticeable effect is tremendous relaxation. Relaxation alone can have a profound impact on your health. Read, listen to music, carry on a pleasant conversation with a friend or relative, or meditate. In the comfortable warmth your stress will melt away leaving behind a feeling of total rejuvenation.
What is Far Infrared Heat?
The infrared spectrum is divided into three segments by wavelength measured in microns:
The far infrared invisible band of light warms objects without warming the air between the source and the object. The best example of this is the sun. Recall standing in the sun on a cold day. You felt warmth from the sun even though the air temperature was cold. This warmth you feel is far infrared penetrating your body 4 to 9 centimeters. Infrared heat is, therefore, a completely safe energy that raises the temperature in objects without having to heat the air in between. Approximately 80% of the sun’s rays fall into the infrared range. (This should not be confused with ultraviolet rays that are harmful to the skin.) It is not visible to the human eye but can been seen with special cameras that translate the light into visible colors.
The High Tech Health Far Infrared Sauna contains patented ceramic heating elements that have been designed to emit far infrared waves in the range 5.5 to 15 micron range only. Bio-scientific experimentation has determined that this range as having the optimum effect on the body’s cells.
Our bodies also radiate far infrared energy through the skin at between 3 and 50 microns. Our palms emit energy between 8 and 14 microns. (You can experience this by holding your palms near each other without touching.) Palm healing, with a 3000-year history in China, is based on the natural healing properties of far infrared.
How does the High Tech Health Far Infrared Sauna work?
The High Tech Health Far Infrared Sauna duplicates these healthy far infrared
frequencies. The tissues selectively absorb these rays as the water in the cell reacts in a process called "resonant
absorption". This "resonant absorption" occurs when the frequency of the far infrared matches the frequency of the water in
the cell causing toxins to be excreted in sweat, feces and urine. Radiant heat is efficient because it warms you, not the air. The
body absorbs as much as 93 percent of this heat causing perspiration and producing a vast array of health benefits.
Whilst waves from the Far Infrared sauna penetrate the skin to a depth of 2.5 to 3.5 inches, the operating temperature is in the relatively low 95 to 140oF range.
What is the History of the Sauna?
The sauna was invented by the early Finnish people and was introduced to the world as
a notable method for healing. Ancient peoples sat in an enclosure for a period of time where the air was heated, usually by stones
in a fire. Sometimes water was dripped on the rocks to create steam. Over the centuries, the sauna became known for its ability to
alleviate medical problems. Down through time, sand heating and steam baths were used to create similar health benefits. Using far
infrared energy to power a sauna follows in this tradition. The High Tech Health Far Infrared Sauna from has been scientifically
developed for the modern person to provide a healthy sauna experience in the home or in a medical facility, such as a clinic.
How does Far Infrared Sauna compare to traditional saunas?
Traditional high heat saunas usually operate at temperatures of 195 to 220oF.
Most people cannot tolerate this high temperature for very long and it causes the mucous membranes to dry out. This is why water
or steam is introduced. Patients use the far infrared saunas at between 95 to 140oF.
This feels like a warm dry room and the perspiration characteristics are significantly improved. Not only does the perspiration
contain more toxins and less water but also more toxins will be expelled out through your kidneys, liver and even hair due to
"resonant absorption".
Also, High Tech Health Far Infrared Saunas:
A. Significantly improve detoxification due to "resonant absorption".
B. Are safer. (No hot surfaces. No high temperatures.)
C. Use no water, thus eliminating potential bacterial problems.
D. Are significantly less claustrophobic due to air circulation.
The High Tech Health Far Infrared Sauna is made of Poplar which traditional saunas do not offer. Poplar is recommended for
people with any of the toxicity symptoms mentioned earlier because it does not out-gas. Although tolerated by many, the aroma
associated with cedar is chiefly cedrene (a terpine) and cedral, a cedar-camphor. Poplar is used exclusively in clinics to
eliminate adding to the patients "toxic" burden".
