FIR Sauna (Far Infrared Sauna) & ITS BENEFITS

A far infrared sauna ( fir sauna ), just like a traditional sauna, is a small room which is heated. The user, who sits inside the sauna room on a bench, enjoys the benefits of this heat which warms the body and produces a good sweat. The big difference between how a far infrared sauna and a traditional sauna work is the heat source -- but that one difference makes all the difference. FIR heat reaches deeper into the tissues than the heat from a traditional sauna, and causes more toxins to be released with the sweat. See benefits of the infrared sauna  A far infra red sauna uses a special type of heater – called an infrared radiant heater – to promote body heating and sweating instead of a regular electrical heater or heated stones. If you’re completely new to saunas, start with our introduction to the sauna.  To answer the question, “Why would want to heat up my body and sweat in the first place?,” check out sauna benefits and benefits o...

UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFITS OF FIR SAUNA

These Infrared rays are selectively absorbed by the tissues. The production of infrared energy that occurs within our tissues is associated with a variety of healing responses. After boosting a tissue’s absorption level to maximum, healing responses are optimised. This phenomenon is called  Resonant Absorption. The reason infrared saunas work is so unique is that they use radiant energy to directly penetrate the body’s tissues to a depth of over 2.5 inches, in different parts of the body. The light energy output of an infrared sauna can be tuned to correspond so closely to the body’s own radiant energy so that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the heat waves that reach our skin. Less than 20% of the energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. Therefore, an infrared sauna can warm its user to a  much greater depth  and much  more effectively than a conventional sauna . This important difference expl...

HOW INFRARED SAUNAS WORK TO HEAL THE BODY?

Heating treatments for health benefit is not a new technique and have been recognized throughout history; Hyperthermia is used as a healing technique since long ago. Ancient healers were aware that a slight fever was a potent healing tool against various illnesses. Greek physicians elevated body temperatures to strengthen the body’s immunity against infection! Even in India, this method is used by ancient Ayurvedic doctors to treat patients.   Many health care professionals have now realised that a safe, induced fever can have extraordinary healing results. Slightly raising body temperature produces a natural biological defense and healing action of the immune system to rid the body of destructive pathogens; literally, to burn out foreign or invading microorganisms rising temperature technique is used.   Today, many holistic and alternative health clinics know that infrared saunas work to generate fevers, which effectively treat infections such as acute bronchi...

POST-NATAL CARE FOR THE URBANITE MOM

UNICEF estimates that there are approximately 830 million or more working women around the world having to juggle between demands at work having returned from maternity leave, and continuing to breastfeed their newborn babies. Many new mothers would realise that a lot of things in their bodies may have changed through the pregnancy period and more evidently, after delivery. It is, unquestionably, not easy coping with such changes and having to balance between caring for your body and caring your child at the same time. With the right post-natal care and diet plan, however, things might be a little easier for these working new mothers. Easier said than done, what is the right post-natal care and diet plan a new mother should be aware of? In terms of food, not only a mother who solely breastfeeds her baby will require slightly more food than any average woman, but she will also need to revisit her entire diet plan based on how much of the baby's diet is breast milk. ...
