Sweat: The "Third Kidney"

Our exposure to toxins far outweighs our body’s natural elimination mechanisms. Studies show that most of us have between 400 and 800 chemical residues in our fat cells.

Your skin converts some chemical toxins, drugs, and steroid hormones into a water-soluble form, which can then be eliminated through sweat excreted through the pores and through sebaceous glands in the skin.

When body temperature rises, toxins and heavy metals are released into the bloodstream from fat cells located deep inside the body. Blood vessels in the skin dilate to allow more blood to flow to the skin surface, which activates the sweat glands. As sweat pours onto the skin surface, it evaporates, releasing heat and toxins.

Increasing the body’s temperature has other cleansing benefits, including inhibiting the growth of bacteria and viruses, increasing oxygen absorption and heart rate, and stimulating blood and lymph flow.

Far Infrared Sauna—A Safer Way to Detox

This far infrared heat can penetrate your body to a depth of two inches, stimulating your body’s cellular detoxification process more effectively than a traditional sauna.

Your body produces infrared energy when it is healing. By delivering penetrating warmth to your body, in a form it recognizes, the FIR sauna increases your body’s own healing infrared energy. Your tissues will selectively absorb these rays, while the water in your cells react in resonance with the frequencies, dropping toxins into the blood stream to be excreted.

Doctors worldwide endorse the Far Infrared Sauna as the most effective method for removing both chemical and heavy metal toxins. Even mercury! Chemicals and toxic metals under the skin surface leave first. Then toxins stored in deeper body organs slowly make their way to the subcutaneous fat, where they too can be safely sweated out.

This method doesn’t require use of drugs, and can be used on people with chronic pain syndromes, heart disease, chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, Alzheimer’s, cancer and any other disorder that may be related to toxicity.

Chronic pain patients participating in a Japanese study found that their pain was reduced significantly after just one session of far infrared therapy, and after 10 sessions their pain levels stabilized to about a fourth of the level where they began.

As you release toxins, you may experience classic symptoms of detoxification, such as headaches, body aches, and itching as the toxins leave your body. Be sure to drink plenty of clean (NOT tap) water, eat a healthy diet, take your nutritional supplements, and allow time for extra rest while your body works to restore balance.

8 Tips for Finding a Great Far Infrared Sauna

1- The heaters should be engineered for optimal absorption. Infrared rays at the wrong frequencies can’t penetrate below the surface of the skin and are not absorbed by your body. Wasted time and money.

2- The heaters should also be engineered for controlled detoxification. If toxins are released too fast, your body can be overwhelmed, making you feel ill and maybe even driving the toxins deeper.

3- Make sure the material is hypoallergenic! The heaters will cause noxious materials to off-gas, which is definitely counterproductive when the whole idea is for YOU, not the sauna, to “off-gas”! NO plywood, particleboard or other material that emits formaldehyde (a known carcinogen).

The best wood for this use is poplar. Cedar, hemlock, basswood, and redwood contain terpenes which are lung irritants and can cause a range of breathing and gastrointestinal problems. Avoid saunas made with any of these materials.

On the other hand, poplar has been found to be the most non-toxic of all the woods, and is therefore the wood of choice for patients with multiple chemical sensitivities, allergies, or problems related to chemical or heavy metal toxicity.

4- Your sauna should have a fresh air intake fan. Your body’s increased blood circulation during the sauna will benefit from the higher level of oxygen.

5- The unit should be easy to assemble.

6- A window, bright lighting, and built-in speakers make the sauna comfortable.

7- Your heater units should have a long warranty period, and the company should also offer a complete satisfaction money back guarantee.

8- And most important, I look for a company that is focused on helping people to get well. A company that can provide testimonials and can speak knowledgably about their product and how it can benefit people with varied conditions.

The company we selected to provide a Far Infrared Sauna for our Wellness Center meets all of these criteria. Even better, they’ve made a very special offer to our clients.
