The Infrared Wellness Cabin from incorporates only the finest quality ceramic heaters. These heaters are scientifically proven to provide true far-infrared energy most effectively and efficiently through constant far-infrared emissions. The heaters are made of organic natural clay materials. They are “tuned” to emit far-infrared energy continuously in the approximate range as the human body produces (ranging from 4 to 20 microns).The concave design provides additional strength but also has the added benefit of distributing far-infrared energy more evenly throughout the chamber.
THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF THE INFRARED THERMAL SYSTEM
REMOVES STORED TOXINS Scientific analysis shows infrared heat induced sweat contains 5 to 6 times more toxins, fat and impurities than normal sweat. Relax in the Wellness Cabin and eliminate stored waste in the form of Metabolic waste, Environmental toxins, Fat, Cholesterol, Heavy metals, Alcohol and Nicotine.
AIDS IN WEIGHT LOSS Our body expends energy to produce sweat. Therefore your body can safely burn up to 1000 calories in just one hour session. While this weight can be regained through drinking water, the calories consumed will not. Treatments in the Wellness Cabin will help to raise your basal metabolic rate, meaning you will burn calories at an elevated rate for hours after your session has finished. At 42 degrees Celsius, body fat becomes water soluble and can be eliminated through sweating.
IMPROVES SKIN TEXTURE Together with infrared heat’s super cleansing effect, you will see a noticeable improvement in the texture, and tone of your skin.
RELIEVES PAIN Pain is relieved in cases associated with various muscle and joint problems to more chronic ailments such as osteo and rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.
RELAX AND DE-STRESS Stress and anxiety melt away in the soothing warmth and comfort of the Wellness Cabin, your senses being further treated with sensual aromas and soft relaxing music if desired. Infrared therapy has been shown to promote a rebalancing of the body’s hormones through its effect on the autonomic nervous system, reducing the negative physical impact of stress on the body.
INCREASES BLOOD CIRCULATION THAT EXERCISES AND STRENGTHENS THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM As your core temperature rises, the entire cardiovascular system is dilated to increase blood flow to the surface of the skin and the extremities in order to dissipate heat. Therefore your heart works harder circulating blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increases, while diastolic blood pressure drops, for improved overall cardiovascular fitness. Studies have shown reduced blood pressure in patients with hypertension for at least 24 hours after infrared therapy.
IMPROVES CELL FUNCTION AND INCREASES “ATP” PRODUCTION Scientific research suggests that infrared therapy helps the body’s cells to work at a more optimal level, including greater efficiency of absorbing nutrients and removing wastes and producing more “ATP” (the cells source of energy). Healthy cells help make a healthy body !
LIFTS DEPRESSION Time spent in the Wellness Cabin will rebalance both the mind and body. With the radiant warmth of infrared heat, sound therapy and aromatherapy, each therapy working synergistically to effectively rebalance the body and lift moods. IMPROVES THE IMMUNE SYSTEM With the elimination of toxins and wastes produced by intense sweating, your overall health and resistance to disease will be improved.
PROMOTES HEALING OF SPORTS INJURIES Be it a sore back from golf, tired legs from cycling or running, or even damaged tendons and muscles, the infrared therapy offers highly effective promotion of the body’s natural healing processes. Infrared therapy is used by the US Olympic Team.
INCREASES THE EXTENSIBILITY OF COLLAGEN TISSUES Tissues heated to 45 degrees Celsius then stretched exhibit a non-elastic residual elongation of about 0.5 to 0.9% that persists after the stretch. It does not occur in these same tissues when stretched at normal tissue temperatures. Thus 20 stretching sessions can produce around 10 to 18% increase in length in tissues heated and stretched. This effect would be especially valuable in working with ligaments, joint capsules, tendons, fasciae, and synovium that have become scarred, thickened or contracted.This safer stretching effect is crucial in properly training competitive athletes so as to minimize their “down” time from injuries.
DECREASES JOINT STIFFNESS DIRECTLY A 20% decrease in stiffness in rheumatoid finger joints occurs when ambient temperature is raised from 33 degrees Celsius to 45 degrees Celsius.Any stiffened joint and thickened connective tissues should respond in a similar fashion.
RELIEVES MUSCLE SPASMS Muscle spasms have long been observed to be reduced through the use of heat, be they secondary underlying skeletal, joint or neuro-pathological conditions.
WHY IS THIS INFRARED THERMAL SYSTEM UNIQUE ?
It uses infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate the body’s tissues to a depth of approximately 4cm. Its energy output is tuned to correspond very closely to the body’s own radiant energy that our bodies absorb as much as 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin. A conventional sauna must rely only on indirect means of heat : First on convection (air currents) and then conduction (direct contact of hot air with the skin) to produce its healing effect on us. In an Infrared Thermal System, less than 20% of the infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. Thus an Infrared based system can warm its user to a much greater depth and much more efficiently than a conventional sauna as its energy output is primarily used to convert energy directly to heat in us and not to create excessively hot air that then only heats the skin superficially. The infrared energy applied in the Infrared Thermal System may induce up to 3 times the sweat volume of a traditional hot-air sauna while operating at a significantly cooler air temperature of between 40 to 45 degrees Celsius. The lower heat range is safer for those concerned about cardiovascular risk factors. It is also distinctly more pleasant to breathe in the Infrared Thermal System. Due to its user-friendly nature, people naturally prefer to use the Infrared Thermal Systems and will continue to do so on a regular basis because of the ease of breathing, the much cooler air while feeling as warm as they choose, and the distinctive feeling of well-being reported by users as an after-effect. These Infrared Thermal Systems may even be used with the door fully open if the only effect desired is infrared penetration, or if a very cool, minimal-sweating experience is desired as a pre-activity warm-up while fully clothed. This approach might be used in warming up prior to stretching, working out, running, or before a massage.
