Sweating is one of the ways our body uses to detoxify itself. When we sweat, our pores open and clean themselves, resulting in more soft and healthy skin. A healthy person should be able to experience intensive sweating.
Some of the claimed benefits of using an infrared sauna:
- Pain relief
- Detoxification
- Weight Loss
- Cardiovascular health
- Beautification of the skin
- Tissue elasticity
- Cancer therapy
- Chronic inner ear infections
Wonder how infrared saunas help with weight loss?
Well, on average a person using a sauna can produce 500 grams of sweat and burn 350 calories during a one sauna session. This is the equivalent of running 2-3 miles.
