At Soothing Solutions we tune in the music, supply you with baby wipes, make up remover wipes, Q-tips, an assortment of different size towels and wash cloths, bottled water and a timer. It is very important that you follow our directions and set the timer for only 10 min. at a time and place the timer across the room. When the timer goes off we ask that you actually stand up, open the door and leave the sauna and walk across the room to reset the timer for another 10 min. We keep the temp of the sauna at a fairly high heat and it can creep up on you if you are sitting sedentary in the sauna. Sometimes you don’t realize you are dizzy until you actually leave the sauna and start walking. Using this routine will help you get the best results with the least chance of any problems.
Far Infrared Ray (FIR) is a form of electromagnetic light energy from
the sun. FIR cannot be seen by human eyes, just like the ultraviolet
rays and x-rays. This energy is absolutely essential for human beings
and all living things in the world.
Unlike the traditional saunas, Infrared Ray Sauna is a dry heat sauna
and no steam is required. The body directly absorbs as much as 93% of
the heat from an infrared sauna without the air getting as hot as
traditional saunas.
Traditional saunas are heated to as hot as 220 degrees. Far infrared
saunas uses 110-150 degrees. Infrared sauna provides more health
advantages in a more comfortable environment without the discomfort of
breathing in the very hot dry or very hot steamed air of other saunas.
Health professionals have used red infrared heat lamps for decades to
treat muscle and joint problems. Hospital baby care units often have
incubators equipped with infrared heating systems to keep newborn babies
warm.
Reduces Stress and Fatigue
Perhaps the most immediate relief this far infrared sauna offers is
simple relaxation, as it melts away the stresses and tensions of life.
Just a few minutes in the far infrared sauna gives an overall soothing
of jangled nerves and knotted muscles.
Relieves pain and Stiffness
The deep heat of the far infrared sauna helps peripheral blood vessels
dilate, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities, speeding the healing
of sprains and strains thus bringing relief and healing to muscles and
soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic
waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscle,
so they recover faster. Muscles relax most readily when tissues are
warm, for greater flexibility and range of motion. Our Health Mate sauna
has been approved by the FDA for treatment of pain relief.
Removes Toxins
Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands, releasing
built-up toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help detoxify the body as
it rids itself of an accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy
metals (lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine,
sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol.
Improves Skin Condition
The skin is often known as the 3rd kidney, because it is believed to be
responsible for eliminating up to 30% of body waste. The profuse
sweating achieved after just a few minutes in far infrared sauna carries
off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin
glowing and immaculately clean. The increased circulation draws the
skin’s own natural nutrients to the surface. It improves tone,
elasticity, texture and fresh color of the skin. Inclreased blood
circulation has also been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis,
burns, lesions and cuts. In addition open wounds heal more quickly,
reducing scarring. For that sought after glow, FIR Sauna heat therapy
allows increased blood circulation to carry great amounts of nutrients
to the skin, thus promoting healthy tone and texture.
Improves the Immune System
The sauna’s deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing an
artificial fever. By creating an "Artificial Feverâ€, FIR heat has a
positive effect on the immune system. Often misunderstood, fever is a
natural healing response of the body. The function of the immune system
is increased naturally during a fever, while virus and bacterial growth
is slowed, weakening its hold. This helps the body ward of invading
organisms. A FIR heat treatment in the early stages of cold or flu has
been known to stop the disease before the symptoms occur. Combined with
the elimination of toxins and wastes produced by the intense sweating,
the overall health and resistance to disease is increased.
Helps with Cellulite
Saunas help clear ugly cellulite, the cottage cheese like lumps of fat,
water and debris trapped in pockets beneath the skin. European beauty
specialists routinely incorporate daily saunas in programs to reduce
cellulite. And because the radiant heat of the far infrared sauna warms
three times deeper than conventional saunas, it is significantly more
effective at reducing cellulite.
Burns Calories and Controls Weight
Burns up to 600 Calories in 25 min. session
As a person relaxes in the sauna, the body is actually hard at work. Fir
Sauna heat therapy can aid in weight loss by speeding up the metabolic
process of vital organs and endocrine glands resulting in substantial
caloric loss in a sauna heat session. According to a Journal of the
American Medical Association report (Aug. 7, 1981), in a single sauna
session a person may burn as many calories as one would by rowing or
jogging for the 30 min. As the body expends energy to produce sweat (1
gm sweat requires 0.586 kcal) a moderately conditioned person can easily
sweat off up to 1000 gms or more in a sauna session. This would be the
equivalent to running 10-15 kms. While most of this weight loss may be
regained by re-hydration with water. The calories burned will not be
regained with water. Depending on the individual anywhere from 300 to
900 calories can be burned per session. Depending on the person, it is
possible to sweat as much as 500cc of sweat in 10 min. in the far
infrared sauna.
Increases Blood Circulation and
Strengthens Cardiovascular System
The infrared sauna increases heart rate and blood circulation, both
crucial to maintaining one’s health. The heart rate increases as more
blood flow is diverted from the inner organs towards the extremities of
the skin without heightening blood pressure. This is totally safe, and
not burdensome even to cardiovascular patients.

Further studies into the benefits of FIR heat therapy is creating a new
avenue of hope for those suffering from life threatening diseases such
as cancer, which explains why the majority of FIR Sauna heat clientele
base is affiliated with the medical industry.
Hundreds, even thousands of years ago, people turned to heat therapy as a
source of healing although they couldn’t refine the process like we can
today, they made way for the recognition of a natural phenomenon that
is resurfacing with the support of the medical industry and rave reviews
by its users.
Over the last 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians
have completed extensive research on infrared treatments and report many
provocative findings. In Japan there is an "infrared society†composed
of medical doctors and physical therapists dedicated to further infrared
research. Their findings support the health benefits of infrared
therapy as a method of healing
Precautions:
1. Leave the Sauna immediately if you feel dizzy or sleepy.
2. Do not stay in the Sauna past the recommended times. Prolonged use can cause overheating and even death.
3. Especially at risk are children under 10, elderly, and those taking alcohol, drugs and some medications.
4. Excessive temperatures have a potential for fetal damage during early
months of pregnancy. If you are pregnant or MIGHT BE pregnant PLEASE
CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING SAUNA.
5. Persons suffering from heart disease, low or high blood pressure,
circulatory problems or diabetes should use the sauna cautiously at
first because they MAY be very toxic. Toxic people who have trouble
sweating should use the sauna at lower temperatures and never stay in
the sauna at temperatures which are not comfortable for them..
TEACH YOUR BODY TO SWEAT GRADUALLY. IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT BEING IN THE HEAT OF A SAUNA CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE USING.
