We know that not everyone can afford having their own personal Infrared Sauna. For this reason, we have taken the responsibility for the Fairfield community to allow public use of our world-class Infrared Sauna at an affordable rate.

There are literally thousands of noted benefits of Infrared Saunas. However, the most striking fit into these categories:

• Detoxification
• Pain Relief (arthritis, muscle and joint, chronic pain, fibromyalgia)
• Weight Loss
• Chronic Fatique Syndrome and
• Heart Disease

Detoxification

Every day, people are exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals in air, water, food, household and laundry products, personal care products, plastics, synthetic fragrances, food preservatives, additives, flavor enhancers, and medications.  Whether you ingest, inhale, or absorb these toxins, these unnatural substances are either metabolized or stored within the body. 

The skin is the body's largest organ for detoxification.  Sunlight Saunas help the body by excreting toxins that are linked to a variety of medical disorders.

·  Because it operates more effectively (the body actually sweats more) at temperatures 60 to 80 degrees lower than conventional saunas, the detoxification is from 7 to 10 times greater.

·  Detoxifies heavy metals including mercury, lead, cadmium, and aluminum.

·  Detoxifies arsenic, formaldehyde, pesticides, agent orange, industrial chemicals, and gasoline.

·  Detoxifies alcohol, nicotine, and other drugs.

·  Purifies the body on a cellular level.

Pain Relief

New clinical research on pain offers evidence to establish a novel class of pain -- "heat responsive pain" or HRP -- which encompasses several common pain conditions that can be treated with the use of heat therapy. Researchers studying HRP have observed remarkable therapeutic benefits by using continuous low-level heat therapy for treating lower-back, upper-body and menstrual pain, all conditions that fall under the new HRP classification.

"For centuries, healthcare providers have used topical heat to relieve minor aches and pains, but today, we are just beginning to understand the full range of therapeutic benefits that heat offers," said pain expert Peter Vicente, Ph.D., Past-President of the American Pain Society and Clinical Health Psychologist, Riverhills Healthcare, Cincinnati, OH. "Through new clinical research, we have found that heat activates complex neurologic, vascular and metabolic mechanisms to mediate the transmission of pain signals and effectively provide relief for a variety of pain conditions."

In asix-month study involving 371 patients, participants were given the maximum recommended non-prescription dosages of ibuprofen and acetaminophen or low level heat therapy for two days to treat acute low back pain.

The results showed that the low level heat therapy provided significantly more pain relief beginning on the first day of treatment than the oral analgesics and that the effects lasted more than 48 hours after the treatment was completed.

Weight Loss

As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. Blood flow during whole-body hyperthermia is reported to rise from a normal 5 to 7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute. 

This benefit was recognized in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association as long ago as August 1981: "Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular system, not to build big leg muscles.  Regular use of a Sauna imparts a similar stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be as effective a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular exercise."

Infrared Sauna heat therapy raises core body temperature causing passive cardiovascular conditioning.  Your body's natural response to far infrared heat therapy is to increase circulation and sweat.  Check out the results with a heart rate monitor and you will be amazed!

Some sellers of Infrared Saunas claim that over 1,000 calories can be burned in only 30 minutes. Burn calories while doing nothing! Stop putting unnecessary stress and strain on your joints and muscles with long hours of jogging.

Chronic Fatique Syndrome

"Six months prior to my twenty-fifth birthday, in April of 1990, my body suddenly became overwhelmed with a very heavy fatigue. To give you a better perspective on what it was like, think of your worst flu. Imagine the fatigue you felt during your worst flu, then magnify it by ten. Now imagine feeling like that every day for eleven years. This is what is known as "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" and it is very real. It affects millions of Americans, especially young, ambitious Americans. When I reached the age of twenty-five, the stress, anxiety, and self-inflicted mental abuse that I allowed my body to endure since childhood had finally caught up with me. My life, as a result, was being put on hold.

Even though I appeared to be healthy on the outside, this was far from the truth on the inside. Depression quickly followed as I struggled to keep my head above water.

After two years of repair work through the spinal adjustments and heavy metal detoxification, a fourth healer, my loving and caring Aunt Sharon, shared with me her new found knowledge of the tremendous benefits of far infrared Therapy. She sent me a far infrared comforter which I began using and soon realized that it was amplifying my detoxification program. Over time, my energy returned. Eventually I started to exercise again. Slowly and steadily my life began to change." - Jason Jeffers

Heart Disease

Title of Study:

Repeated Thermal Therapy Improves Impaired Vascular Endothelial Function in Patients With Coronary Risk Factors

Authors:Dr. Imamura, et.al, Kagoshima Japan

Publication and Date:
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2001

Purpose of Study:

To determine whether Infrared Sauna therapy improves blood vessel function (endothelial) in patients risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking. This dysfunction represents an early stage of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

How did they do it?

Studied 25 men with at least 1 risk factor. Patients were treated in an Infrared Sauna for 15 minutes once a day for 2 weeks.

Results: Infrared Sauna Treatment

• Significantly lowered blood pressure
• Significant weight loss
• Significantly lowered blood sugar
• Significantly increased blood flow
• Lowered cholesterol
• Lowered triglycerides

Conclusion:

Repeated Infrared Sauna treatment improves impaired blood vessel functions in patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and high cholesterol. This suggests a preventive role for sauna use for arteriosclerosis.

With all of these positive effects, and more which I have not mentioned, I believe that every person should have an Infrared Sauna in their home. Understandably, not everyone can afford one. However, you CAN use the offered public facilities. It is affordable, private, and easy to schedule appointments. Simply click on schedule an appointment at the top and see what's available. All appointments are 1 hour long. Additional details about what to bring, what will be provided for you, etc. will be detailed to you as you browse through the checkout system.
