Strengthens
The Immune System
An
artificial fever
is produced by the
body from the Infrared
heat, which stimulates
the body's defense
mechanism against
bacteria and infection.
The artificial fever
causes an increase
in the production
of white blood cells
by your bone marrow
and killer T cells
by your thymus which
is the beneficial
side effects of the
raised body temperature
thus causing an increase
in your immune system.

Passive
Cardiovascular Conditioning
Effects
The
Infrared Sauna makes
it possible for people
in wheelchairs, or
those who are otherwise
unable to exert themselves,
or who won't follow
through on an exercising
and conditioning program
to achieve a cardiovascular
training effect. This
also allows for more
variety in any ongoing
training program. Most
people often times
who run do so to place
a demand on our cardiovascular
system. Regular use
of a sauna may impact
a similar stress on
the cardiovascular
system, and its regular
use may be as effective,
as a means of cardiovascular
conditioning and burning
of calories, as regular
exercise. Infrared
therapy issues the
body to respond due
to this deep-heating
effect which results
in an increase in both
heart volume and rate.
This beneficial heart
stress leads to a sought-after
cardiovascular training
and conditioning effect.
Medical researches
confirm the use of
a sauna provides cardiovascular
conditioning as the
body works to cool
itself and involves
substantial increases
in heart rate, cardiac
output and metabolic
rate. As a confirmation
of the validity of
this form of cardiovascular
conditioning, extensive
research by NASA in
the early 1980's led
to the conclusion that
infrared stimulation
of cardiovascular function
would be the ideal
way to maintain cardiovascular
conditioning in American
astronauts during long
space flights. Blood
flow during whole-body
hypothermia is reported
to rise from a normal
5 ~ 7 quarts per minute
to as much as 13 quarts
per minute.
Conclusion:
Repeated
Infrared Sauna treatment
improves impaired blood
vessel functions in
patients with high
blood pressure, diabetes,
smoking and high cholesterol.
This suggests a preventive
role for sauna use
for arteriosclerosis.
