Thermal Therapy
The Soft Heat Radiant Sauna enables one
to experience relaxation and exhilaration as well as the
health and fitness benefits of thermal therapy. The body is
thoroughly cleansed and muscle aches disappear. Radiant heat
therapy improves blood circulation and can relieve symptoms
for many musculo-skeletal problems including arthritis,
rheumatism, and sciatica.
Dry saunas have two advantages over steam
rooms. (1) They help rid the body of toxic metals
picked up from the environment. Although the kidneys take
out many of these toxins a daily sweat can help reduce the
body’s accumulation of lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium,
sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol. (2) The sauna
also assists in fat loss. It places a greater demand on the
heart, forcing
it to work harder to send more blood to the capillaries
under the skin and this means the body uses more calories.
Radiant heat is a natural form of energy
that heats objects directly without having to heat the air
in between. An every day example of radiant heat (also
called infra—red) is the warmth we absorb from the sun. When
you stand in the sun on a cold but sunny day the warmth
penetrates right through your clothing. In the shade you
feel colder even though the air temperature is the same.
Soft heat means lower, non-suffocating
air temperatures and a deeper penetrating heat than most
conventional saunas. You will find the air comfortable to
breathe and the heat warm and gentle, not harsh and dry.
These results come from the use of ceramic radiant heaters
built into the walls.
T hese
saunas are used by doctors, physical therapists and
professional athletes to treat muscle injury
and strains. Hospitals use them to
warm new born babies. They are low
cost,
energy efficient and laboratory tested.
