Detoxification

Disclaimer

Be aware of infrared sauna companies who claim to detox all toxins in the body. There is no universally accepted medical proof to support those claims. Consult with your physician or other qualified healthcare provider before making any changes to your healthcare routine. Never disregard medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you read on the internet.

Infrared Sauna Detox

Infrared sauna therapy is a great way to help your body detoxify and maintain good health. Because infrared saunas heat the body from the inside, your core body temperature raises more efficiently and allows you to sweat more. This deeper sweating promotes toxin removal, including heavy metals, chemicals, and other particles that can lead to illness and a weakened immune system. Staying properly hydrated is key to effectively sweating out toxins, and low-EMF infrared sauna therapy is the safest and most effective way to do so.

Our saunas can help remove:

  • Arsenic
  • Lead
  • Mercury
  • Cholesterol
  • Fat-soluble toxins
  • Toxic heavy metals
  • Sulfuric acid
  • Sodium
  • Ammonia
  • Uric acid
  • and More!

Science Backs our Infrared Sauna Detoxification

Infrared saunas provide a unique way to detoxify the body. Rather than heating the air around you, infrared saunas use infrared light to penetrate deep beneath the skin and heat the body from the inside at lower temperatures than traditional saunas. As a result, your heart rate increases and you begin to sweat more vigorously. While sweating, all sorts of these toxins are released through your pores.

A study from Clinical Chemistry identified a number of trace metals found in sweat after sauna bathing, including nickel, copper, zinc, and lead. Researchers tested a group of 48 healthy adults to determine if trace metals could be found in sweat and if prolonged exposure to heat removed those stored metals from the body. The study found that sweating is an effective way to rid the body of trace metals and keep an equilibrium of essential ones in the body.

Good Health Saunas offers a range of infrared saunas in different sizes designed to help remove toxic chemicals. Along with the removal of toxic metals, each sauna is equipped with multiple heaters emitting low electromagnetic field reading to provide therapeutic stress relief and improvement of health.

Firefighters Trust Infrared Saunas to Remove Dangerous Toxins

In another study conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), it was proven that from 1950-2009, firefighters had a greater number of cancer diagnoses (+9%) and deaths (+14%) than the general US population. Fire departments around the United States have since been turning to routine infrared sauna therapy to help firefighters remove toxins from their bodies – most of which they were exposed to while fighting fires. Fire department officials say this is part of a renewed effort to combat health concerns within the profession (see for yourself).

How Our Infrared Saunas Detoxify the Body

Detoxification with infrared saunas is more effective than with traditional saunas. During traditional sauna therapy, 80-85% of sweat produced is water, while the remaining 15-20% is mostly toxic substances. During infrared sauna use, up to 30% of sweat is comprised of toxins. If detoxification is your primary reason for purchasing a sauna, you’ll find much better results with an infrared sauna.

Researchers for the children’s hospital at the Eastern Ontario Research Institute found that arsenic, lead, mercury, and cadmium were more present in sweat than in blood, which is where these toxins are usually measured. They determined that sweating is an important way to detoxify the body. Using an infrared sauna is the perfect way to increase the amount you sweat and increase the efficiency of toxin removal.

In a Wall Street Journal article, Dr. Haythe said “I always advise patients with medical problems such as heart disease and heart failure to discuss sauna bathing with their physician before beginning the practice.” Any health treatment you’re considering should be discussed with a doctor. Infrared sauna therapy is perfectly safe for the vast majority of people. However, any preexisting health conditions may cause complications or require special precautions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is constant heat necessary to detoxify your body?

While in an infrared sauna detox session, constant heat is necessary because it warms your body from the inside out. Increasing your body’s core temperature promotes sweating which can help remove toxins, debris, and other dangerous germs from your body.

What is the best infrared wavelength for detoxification?

Ideally, far infrared are the wavelengths you want for the best body detoxification. These waves reach deep into the body, where the toxins are stored, and help to break up unwanted chemicals and debris within the body, later allowing for sweating to remove them all.

How long should you sit in your infrared sauna for effective detox?

The ideal length of an infrared sauna session is unique to the individual. Tolerance to infrared heat and activity levels will affect how your body reacts to infrared sauna therapy. Start with shorter sessions (10-15 minutes) and gradually work up to longer sessions (30-40 minutes).

Do infrared saunas actually detoxify your body?

Infrared sauna heat penetrates deeper beneath the skin than heat produced by steam saunas or heat you feel from high air temperatures. This means infrared sauna therapy heats your body from the inside, causing more sweating and a deeper level of detoxification.
