The
following is an introduction to the large subject of sauna therapy. We strongly recommend a current book, Sauna Therapy, also
available on this site. This
provides much more depth, more complete plans, protocols, cautions, case
histories and much more.
Infrared
lamp sauna therapy is one of the least costly, safest and most powerful
ways to eliminate toxic metals, toxic chemicals and chronic infections. The benefits include:
* Skin
rejuvenation. Sauna use slowly restores elimination through the skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body and a major
eliminative channel. In most
people, it is inactive, congested and toxic. Sun exposure, use of synthetic clothing, bathing in
chlorinated water and exposure to hundreds of chemicals damage the skin. Excessive sympathetic nervous system
activity and emotions such as fear, anger and guilt cause blood to be withdrawn
from the skin, contributing to inactivity of the skin.
* Enhanced
sweating. Sweating in a sauna is a by-product of applying heat to the
body. The sweating process gently
and safely helps eliminate all heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Medical studies demonstrate that most
toxins can be eliminated through the skin, relieving the burden on the kidneys
and liver.
Sweating increases dramatically in most people after several
months of daily sauna use.
Sweating during exercise is not nearly as
effective for detoxification because exercise activates the sympathetic nervous
system. Sympathetic nervous
activity inhibits toxin elimination.
* Exercise
benefits. Saunas provide many of the benefits of exercise with much
less expenditure of energy. These
include enhanced circulation and oxidation of the tissues. Repeated sauna use can lower elevated
blood pressure and improve the elasticity of the arteries. Saunas are most helpful for
cardiovascular rehabilitation, arthritis, allergies, skin conditions and
chemical sensitivity.
* Decongesting
the internal organs. Heating the body powerfully shunts blood toward the skin to
dissipate heat. This decongests
the internal organs and greatly stimulates circulation. Sinuses, joints and many other tissues
benefit greatly.
* Fever
therapy (hyperthermia) for infections.
Raising body temperature powerfully assists the
body to kill bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses. Many people have a low body temperature and, for this reason,
cannot get rid of chronic infections.
Common sites of infections are the sinuses, ears, eyes, bladder, throat
and intestines.
* Tumors,
radiation poisoning and mutated cells. Hyperthermia also helps kill other types of abnormal
cells. Tumors, for example,
tolerate heat poorly. Raising body
temperature hastens their death.
Though not a conventional method, hyperthermia is a well-researched
therapy for cancer. Heat also
disables or kills cells mutated by radiation or damaged by other toxins.
TYPES OF SAUNAS
Three basic types of saunas exist.
· Traditional saunas consist of a small room or space with an electric, gas or wood
heater, or heated with hot rocks.
· Far infrared saunas use ceramic or metallic elements for heating that mainly emit in
the far infrared range.
· Infrared lamp saunas use incandescent infrared heat lamps for heating. They emit mainly near infrared, some
middle infrared and perhaps a tiny amount of far infrared energy. They also emit a small amount of red,
orange and yellow visible light. This
type also provides warming and stimulating color therapy. Red, orange and yellow assist the
eliminative organs.
While traditional saunas require high
temperatures for copious sweating, infrared penetrates the skin and heats from
the inside as well as on the skin.
This means the air temperature in the sauna can remain cooler, yet one
sweats plenty at this lower, more comfortable temperature.
The infrared lamp sauna penetrates deepest, we
believe, and we are waiting for formal studies to confirm or disprove this
hypothesis. They may penetrate up
to three inches or so, so the air temperature can stay coolest of all the types
of saunas with the same effectiveness.
Preheating is usually not necessary, saving time and electricity. While some people like the intense heat
of the traditional sauna, many find it difficult to tolerate, especially those
when feeling ill.
Infrared is an antioxidant nutrient, activates
the cells, supports metabolic processes and decouples toxins from water molecules. Near infrared is helpful for wound
healing and cellular regeneration as well.
SUPERVISION
AND SAFETY
Supervision during a sauna therapy program is always needed. The
presence of an attendant or friend close by is also most needed if you have any
type of health condition.
Removing drugs from tissue storage may cause
flashbacks or temporary drug effects, the same as when you took the drug. If you have used LSD or other
psychotropic drugs, have an attendant near by, as a few have experienced flashbacks
or even full-blown LSD trips.
In addition, follow the basic safety procedures
below:
· Begin with only 20 minutes in the sauna. After a few weeks, only if you feel well enough to do so,
you may increase to 30 or even 40 minutes. Never begin with sessions longer than 20-minutes once a day
because this can cause massive healing reactions that are unpleasant and even
dangerous.
· If debilitated or very heat sensitive, begin with 15 minutes or
less in the sauna.
· Always rest for 15 minutes after a sauna session. Shower off and then relax after a sauna
session to allow the body to readjust.
Do not go right back to daily activities. It is best to use a sauna first thing in the morning or the
last thing at night. These are the
times one is most relaxed and it will be most effective. The more one relaxes, the
more one will sweat.
· Always consult a health professional if one has a chronic illness.
· Pregnant women and children under five should avoid saunas. Young children must
be accompanied by an adult.
· Continue prescribed medication while taking saunas, unless
directed otherwise.
· Use a sauna twice a week to twice a day. However, always begin with a maximum of one session daily
for no more than one-half hour. If
one is very debilitated, begin with once a week. Work up to daily use as you are
able to do so.
· Healing reactions are temporary symptoms that occur as toxic
substances are eliminated and chronic infections heal. Symptoms vary from mild odors, tastes or rashes are very common and usually pass
quickly. Some people feel
great fatigue after sessions and this is normal. Some people have bowel changes, aches, pains or headaches.
· Old infections may flare up as they are healed due to repeated
sauna use. Usually only rest and
natural remedies are needed to help infections resolve faster.
· Almost all healing symptoms are benign and will pass quickly. Consult a knowledgeable practitioner if
any cause concern.
CONVERTING A TRADITIONAL OR FAR INFRARED SAUNA TO A NEAR
INFRARED LAMP SAUNA
A lamp sauna offers wonderful
benefits not available in a traditional or far infrared type of sauna including
color therapy, near-infrared healing energy and other beneficial frequencies.
If you already own a traditional sauna or
a far infrared sauna and wish to convert it by adding the infrared heat lamps,
this can be done in most cases.
There are a few requirements and a few cautions.
1.Your
sauna needs to be close to or greater than 48 inches long in one dimension. This way you will be sure to be able to
sit far enough away from the lamps for comfort. You could make a hole in the wall of the sauna and recess
the lamps, but this is much harder and may not work well.
2.
We recommend modifying the bench arrangement in a traditional or far infrared
sauna. Thus, the
bench must be removable for the best conversion although this is not absolutely
necessary.
Since one needs to rotate in the electric
light sauna, it is best to remove the bench and place a small bench in the
middle of the sauna so you can rotate in all directions most easily.
You may still use the original heating
system that came with your sauna to help preheat your sauna. Once it has warmed up, you can leave it
on or perhaps just use the lamps for heating.
NOTES
ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INFRARED HEAT LAMPS AND SIMPLE RED LIGHT BULBS
It is the infrared range, not the red color that is
important. Red light, in fact, is
harmful, but not infrared. There
is a little red in the infrared heat lamps, but not much, in fact. It is mostly orange and yellow with a
little red and mostly infrared coming from the lamps. This is subtle but important to point out.
I
spoke with a woman who experienced this.
She shined a red heat lamp on her puppies and noticed how calm and happy
they became. Them she used just a
red lamp from the store. Then
animals did not like it at all.
She concluded there was a difference in the heat lamp but did not know
what it was.
Here is the difference. Infrared looks like red to the
eye. It is different, however, and
the heat lamp is “tuned” to produce a lot of it with a special filament
design. The red light is just an
incandescent lamp with a red filter.
They are quite opposite in their effects.
Infrared is healing, while red is
highly irritating and stimulating.
If we used a red light with people, they would hate the sauna. Instead, they are calmed by the
infrared frequencies and the little bit of red light does not bother them. The filter used as a coating keeps most
of the red out, in fact. There is
more to lamp design than one might imagine!
To purchase a near
infrared lamp sauna, we list several companies that sell them on a separate
page mentioned below.

a near infrared light sauna.
