Patient Experiences

I burn 500 calories during my 30 minutes in the sauna! The sauna takes my stress levels down 10 notches, supports detoxification, activates heat-shock proteins associated with longevity, and I think more clearly with just 30 minutes 3 days a week.

I feel AMAZING when I get out, and can’t wait to do it all over again. Sauna therapy has won me over! Heather Dessinger

Using an infrared sauna is like stepping into your own personal retreat, wellness center, & de-stressing zone! The best way to eliminate metals & chemicals is through SWEAT. When your body temperature is increased 2-3 degrees in a sauna session, cancer cells are slowed down & can die, & white blood cells & killer T cells are produced & hyper-mobilized. The natural healing mechanisms of the body are optimized through hyperthermia or an “artificial fever” that raises body temperature 2 or 3 degrees. The heart is strengthened, & calories are burned at about the rate of a moderate run!

Four reasons I believe saunas are beneficial for your health that are backed by science: Reduce inflammation (inflammation leads to chronic disease), Speeds up recovery (especially awesome if you’re sore after workouts.

If you can alleviate soreness, you can actually speed up progress as well), Increases blood flow (which is why it helps with recovery time your muscles are getting the nutrients they need from the increased blood flow), Flushes toxins (you’re sweating the toxins out every time you sit in the sauna). I try to use the sauna two to three times a week for thirty minutes each time. Drew Manning

Scientific Research provides more understanding of the benefits of Infrared saunas.

Infrared sauna in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis (2009). In all patients, a clinically relevant improvement was seen during the IR sauna treatment with pain and stiffness decreasing 5 to 24 points. Pain reduced approximately 40% and 60% and stiffness approximately 50% and 60% for patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis, respectively. All patients felt well during and after IR treatment, and 30 min after the end of treatment, 88.2% of patients felt “comfortable” or “very comfortable”. The results of this study show that the use of IR sauna as treatment is feasible and well tolerated in patients with inflammatory arthritis.

Repeated thermal therapy diminishes appetite loss and subjective complaints in mildly depressed patients (2004) In mildly depressed patients, somatic and mental com- plaints decreased and a relaxation effect was obtained after repeated thermal therapy. Furthermore, we found that feeling of hunger occurred and the plasma ghrelin concentrations and daily caloric intake increased after repeated thermal therapy.

Clinical cardiology: review | beneficial effects of sauna bathing for heart failure patients (2007) Repeated sauna therapy (60°C for 15 min) improved hemo- dynamic parameters, clinical symptoms, cardiac function and vascular endothelial function in patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) […] Sauna therapy improved the cardiac index, mean pulmonary wedge pressure, systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance, and cardiac function. Sauna treatment is considered safe for CHF patients with NYHA classes I, II and III. It seems that sauna treatment may help improve clinical symptoms and hemodynamic parameters secondary to an improvement in the endothelial func- tion of patients with CHF whose endothelial function is impaired.
