FIR Sauna

Far infrared rays (FIR) are naturally occuring, and are healing to the body.  Over the last 25 years, the Chinese and Japanese researchers have discovered amazing health benefits using the FIR sauna.  In addition to the benefits of heat and sweating, the FIR rays penetrate the body and specifically stimulate cellular metabolism and regeneration.

Research has determined the following benefits:

  • detoxification 
  • lower blood pressure
  • increases oxygen to the tissues
  • heals acne
  • relieves muscle spasms
  • soothes pain of arthritis
  • speeds healing of wounds
  • increases flexibility of connective tissue
  • good for pneumonia, asthma, sinusitis, colds, flu
  • improves micro-circulation
  • increases metabolism
  • stimulates the hypothalmus which controls mood, pain, sleep
  • heals carpal tunnel syndrome
