Sweating To Health!
The oldest know medical document, the Ayurveda, appeared in
Sanskrit in 568 BC and considered sweating so important to
health that it prescribed the sweat bath and thirteen other
methods of inducing sweat. Throughout history physicians have
extolled the medicinal value of the sweat bath in its various
forms such as the Finnish sauna, Russian banai, Islamic hammam,
or the American Indian sweatlodge. Today, enthusiasts claim that
beyond being relaxing the sauna gives relief from the common
cold, arthritis, headaches, hangovers and "just about anything
that ails you." Even if these claims are somewhat exaggerated,
medical evidence shows that bathing in temperatures of 9O
degrees C (192 degrees F) has a profoundly beneficial effect on
a healthy body..

Some weight loss authorities believe that our bodies use fat to
dilute toxins. As an Infrared Sauna is an unsurpassed expeller
of toxins, it is also a great way to get rid of any fat our
bodies are using to dilute toxins we are storing.
Pain Relief for Rheumatoid Arthritis
A case study was reported in Sweden of a 70 year old man with
Rheumatoid Arthritis secondary to acute rheumatic fever. He had
reached his toxic limit on Gold injections and his Erythrocyte
Sedimentation Rate was still at 125. Within 5 months of
undergoing an infrared treatment, his ESR was down to only 11.
In the case of rheumatic arthritis of a 14-year old Swedish
girl who couldn't walk comfortably downstairs due to knee pain
since she had been eight years old, her rheumatologist told her
mother that her child would be in a wheelchair within 2 years if
she refused gold corticosteroid therapy. However, after 3
infrared sauna treatments, she began to become more agile and
subsequently took up folk dancing, without the aid of the
conventional approach in her recovery.
A clinical trial in Japan reported the successful solution in
seven out of seven cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis treated with
whole-body infrared therapy. These case studies and clinical
trials indicate that further study is warranted on the usage of
whole-body infrared therapy in the care of patients with
Rheumatoid Arthritis. (see Sauna)
