THE HEALING POWER OF FAR INFRARED HEAT

Why does it feel soooo good to be warmed by the sun? Why do we daydream about lying on a tropical beach in the middle of winter? The sun's rays are made up of bothvisible and invisible light. The colours of the rainbow depict the visible light spectrum, and UV Rays and Infrared Rays represent the invisible. Whilst most of us are careful not to overexpose ourselves to UV Rays (just long enough for Vitamin D absorption) Infrared Rays, by contrast, are extremely beneficial. They are absorbed into the body through the skin and have a direct and positive influence on the functioning of cells. Meaning, if you can improve the metabolic health of individual cells in your body, imagine what the accumulative affect could be...

So what does FIR mean to you?

Far infrared fires up your cellular metabolism to give your internal engine a boost or 'spark'. The FIR energy that is absorbed improves overall cellular performance. The whole metabolic process perks up everything from better enzyme production to the elimination of waste by-products and toxins.

One way to benefit from FIR, without harmful ultraviolet rays, is through an infrared sauna. Successive, regular sessions will ensure your body is continually in a state of repairing itself. New cells constantly replace old damaged ones so whether you're reasonably healthy or suffering from some kind of ailment, FIR helps improve your health from the "inside out".

Prana Beauty proudly offers this superior healing power by way of a clearlight sauna that uses True Infrared™ technology which combines carbon and ceramic elements to emit Far Infrared heat that is tuned to your body.

For those of you who love the 'details' here are just some of the cumulative benefits (and don't forget, like everything else, further information can be found online):

Relax, Detoxify and Lose Weight:

Alcohol, nicotine and drugs contain large amounts of potentially carcinogenic pollutants that easily enter the body. Chemicals in detergents, shampoos, deodorants, cosmetics and lotions enter through the skin. Small particles of airborne pollutants enter the lungs. Food and water with chemicals, artificial sweeteners, pesticides and heavy metals easily pass into the intestines to invade the body.

Left unchecked, this accumulation of toxins can trigger a variety of symptoms and can lead the body to feel very low on energy. Toxins in our bodies are generally acidic and can be a barrier to weight-loss as they block crucial enzymes that are necessary for calorie burning.

Where toxins accumulate, blood circulation is blocked. Far Infrared therapy is effective in expanding clogged capillary vessels and successful in dissolving the toxins into the blood and out of the body via urine and perspiration. Watch fat and toxins literally spill out of your body. It's like a total workout - without lifting a finger! Relax in the comfort of our dry infrared heat, meditate, read a book, or listen to your favourite CD in total privacy.

For a Healthy Complexion and a Reduction of Cellulite:

Far Infrared heat helps develop the body's capillary network, which carries vital oxygen and nutrients to the skin, essential for a beautiful, youthful, glowing complexion. Regular sessions also firm and improve skin tone and elasticity and help remove dead skin cells. FIR can assist in breaking down cellulite, a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes which are trapped in pockets below the skin. Profuse sweating helps clear this form of unwanted debris from the body.

For Natural Pain Relief:

Palm healing, with a 3000 year history in China, is based on the natural healing properties of far infrared.

By penetrating deep into and heating muscle tissue, infrared energy dilates peripheral blood vessels which can be beneficial in reducing lactic acid that causes muscle fatigue and joint stiffness; as well as general aches and pains due to conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. There is also evidence that when used 24 - 48 hours post injury, far infrared energy can reduce the time it takes for your body to heal sprains and strains.

As you can see, there are numerous and profound benefits to infrared saunas. Yet no matter how beneficial and relaxing your sauna experience is, it doesn't compare to the way you will feel when it is finished. With your body relaxed and at peace, your mind will follow with a feeling of serenity that stays with you throughout your day. That's why the Prana Sauna is such an all-encompassing pleasure... one that equally soothes body, mind and spirit.
