Infrared Sauna Benefits

Pain Relief

Experience a pain reduction almost overnight.

The invisible rays generated by the infrared sauna will penetrate up to 4 cm (1.5") deep into muscle tissue. This energy, 93% is absorbed through our skin. This heat is beneficial to our body and will permit a vasodilatation of the peripheral blood vessels reducing muscle spasm, achiness and joint stiffness as well as pains caused by Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. Studies have shown that far infrared energy when used 24 to 48 hours post injury will reduce the healing time our body needs to heal itself of strains and sprains.

Sauna Detoxification

Cleanse your body with ease.

We could actually say that it serves as a third kidney. Because of the deep penetration effect that our Montreal infrared saunas play in allowing the removal of the toxins stored in the fat cells, you will feel much better after just one sauna therapy session. Detoxifying in a Montreal Sauna will help you get rid of potentials carcinogenic heavy metals such as mercury and lead, as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol.

Weight Loss

Feel those extra pounds melt away.

Relaxing in the comforts of a Montreal Sauna, your body is actually working hard by maintaining your body with a constant core temperature. Detoxification and weight loss is reached by increasing the peripheral blood flow and this will result by sweating. In the medical Guyton Physiology book, it states that 1 gram of sweat requires 0.568 kcal to produce. An average sauna user can produce 500 grams of sweat and burn 350 calories during a therapeutic sauna session. This is the equivalent of running 4 Km (2.3 Miles). Our infrared saunas can also help rid your body of cellulite which is a gel like substance made up of fat cells, water and wastes.

Cardiovascular Health

Relax and get your heart in shape.

Montreal Saunas infrared heat therapy is one way to achieve cardiovascular conditioning effects even without exerting yourself. During a sauna session, vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels occurs which increases heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. This provides a workout for your heart as the body attempts to cool itself in diverting blood from internal organs to the extremities and the skin. Research suggests that regular infrared heat therapy has been beneficial in reducing blood pressure.

Beautification of Skin

Tissue Elasticity

Improve flexibility beyond your expectations.

The warmth of your Montreal Sauna will relax your muscles, increase flexibility and range of motion. Studies show, tissues heated to 55°C (130F) and then stretched have exhibited an elastic elongation that persists long after the stretch is removed. This was not the case when the same tissues were stretched at normal tissue temperatures. Therapeutic benefits were also seen in working with ligaments, tendons, fascia, joint capsules and symposiums that have become scarred, thickened or contracted.

Other New and Exciting Benefits

Cancer Therapy

Some researchers believe that infrared therapy can help stimulate the body's immune system by elevating body temperature. Many viruses, bacteria and tumor cells are thought to have poor tolerance to heat compared to normal healthy cells. A 30 minute infrared sauna session can cause a temporary 3° increase in body temperature. This increase has been shown to stimulate white blood cells which may improve your body's immune system. Given the human body's effectiveness in fighting disease by inducing a fever, an infrared sauna can assist the body in the fight of various diseases.

Chronic Inner Ear Infections

Infrared sauna therapy sessions can open nasal passages and therefore assist the sinuses in draining and preventing speed of infection to the middle ear.

chromotherapy or Light Therapy

Defined as the therapeutic use of color and light in order to bring about homeostasis within the human body. Organs, muscles, cells and nerves all have a level of vibration or frequency. Each color of light has its own frequency and vibration. When our bodies become out of balance, disease occurs.
