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.
As a result of everyday living we accumulate toxins in our bodies. Experts are saying that we have over 400 new toxins today that didn’t even exist 45 years ago (Dr. Steve Nugent, 2003.) This is a trend that portable infrared saunas have been proven to be a major contributor in reversing this trend and removing many of the toxins in our bodies’ cells.
The list of toxins we are continually accumulating is long with things like chlorine or lead being high on the chart. Water molecules absorb these toxins and move throughout the body causing worsened blood flow and lessened energy. Infrared heat functions to break the water molecules apart. This frees the toxins and allows the body to remove them.
The human body is very compatible with infrared ray saunas. Water molecules vibrate at about 9400 micrometers which is where the sauna rays vibrate. Since we are roughly 60% percent water we are able to absorb the infrared heat very well. All the while we enjoy a comfortable and warm sauna environment.
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?
