Wellness With A Portable Infrared Sauna

By Benjamin Andrews

Infrared ray saunas are finally available in an easy to use, affordable and portable unit. They have only been around for a few years but they have become the talk of the town since then.

All of this infrared ray sauna buzz is a direct result of two important and unique features of these portable saunas. First, they are portable, so you can take them everywhere you travel. All you need is a duffel bag, or anything really, as long as its roughly the size of a suitcase. Second, they are very efficient at what they do. The average person can burn as many calories sitting in their portable infrared sauna reading a magazine for 30 minutes that they can running 2-3 miles.

If you want joint and muscle pain relief then you only need to spend a little time in your portable sauna. Additionally, several scientists in the Czech Republic have shown that endorphins are released after a short 30 minute session. These endorphins further assist in pain relief as well as giving you that euphoric sensation that often comes after a good workout.

There is an ever worsening problem among people today. Some researchers have found in our bodies over 400 new toxins today that didn't even exist 45 years ago (Dr. Steve Nugent, 2003.) Our bodies are continually storing more toxic materials. It has been proven that the extraction of these toxins is greatly improved by regular infrared sauna use.

When toxins such as mercury, lead, chlorine, etc. enter our systems, they are absorbed by water molecules with-in our cells. Where ever these toxins are found, cellular energy is lessened and blood circulation is blocked. Deep penetrating infrared heat causes the water molecules to vibrate which reduces the ion bonds that hold together the molecules of water. Encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released as the breakdown of the water molecules takes place.

Water molecules vibrate at roughly 9400 micrometers. Portable infrared saunas emit rays at that same level, which is beneficial for humans. Our bodies are 60% water which makes these infrared saunas very efficient for detox and relaxation.

These portable saunas really make it easy to slip away from the rough and tumble of your day and relax. The penetrating infrared rays really get at the internal organs and muscles and help to sooth them.

With so many health benefits, the ease of portability and a price tag of around only $300 for an entire spa, it is no wonder the portable infrared saunas are popular. What took so long for someone to come up with the idea? - 14130
