Restorative Infrared Sauna Care in Williams Lake
Cariboo Chiropractic and Medical Centre is pleased to introduce the healing properties of infrared saunas to our clients in Williams Lake and beyond. An infrared sauna is very similar to a traditional sauna, but instead of using moist heat, an infrared sauna uses dry heat that warms the body in the same manner as natural sunlight does. Infrared saunas tend to be safer and more sanitary than traditional saunas which use moist heat. A traditional sauna’s internal temperature can reach 150 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, while infrared saunas have an average temperature between 100 to 140 degrees and are therefore more comfortable for patients who are able to use them longer than traditional saunas.
Why Use an Infrared Sauna?
Our body is constantly inundated with many chemicals, such as pesticides, fragrances, synthetic clothing and smog, just to name a few. The skin can eliminate approximately 30% of the body’s wastes through sweating. Using an infrared sauna on a regular basis can facilitate this natural process and help detoxify the body. Specifically, infrared saunas can:
- Help your body detox – Profuse sweating from infrared saunas can reduce the body’s accumulation of pesticides, heavy metals, industrial pollution, car exhaust and other toxins.
- Promote weight loss – A single 20-minute infrared sauna session can burn up to 600 calories and help to decrease cellulite.
- Reduce pain – Infrared saunas are extremely beneficial to combat the pain associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches, sports injuries and other chronic pain conditions.
- Alleviate skin conditions – Eczema, acne, psoriasis, wounds and stretch marks can all benefit greatly from regular infrared sauna therapy
- Conquer stress – The comfortable warm temperature of the sauna helps to promote relaxation and increases your circulation.
