Sweating
helps detoxify your body, by removing the accumulation of potentially
carcinogenic heavy metals as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium and
cholesterol. Profuse perspiration deeply cleanses the skin, creating
beautiful and improved tone, texture, and colour.
"Perspiration
therapy", sometimes referred to as "heat stress detoxification" is not
new. It dates back before the Romans and their baths. In fact,
virtually every society including the American Indian sweat lodge has
used " heat stress detoxification". If we are not perspiring we are
missing as much as 27% of our body’s ability to rid itself of toxins.
Health Benefits:
Weight Control
Our
Detox Box is exceptional for burning calories, controlling weight and
removing cellulite. A single sauna session will burn as many calories
as you would rowing for 30 minutes or a 10k run.
Detoxifying
the body helps in weight loss. People who have unsuccessfully tried
many diets often find success with far infrared saunas because they are
able to eliminate chemicals stored in the fat cells. This makes weight
loss easier.
Weight loss occurs because body fat becomes water
soluble at 43ºC and the body can sweat it out. The most immediate
effect you'll notice to your health is immense relaxation. Read, listen
to music or meditate in the comfortable warmth while stress melts away
leaving behind a feeling of total rejuvenation.
The Detox Box assists in weight loss in three significant ways:
1.
It effectively reduces heavy metals which have been directly related to
metabolic imbalances in the body causing poor digestion and weight gain.
2. It decreases fat stored (lipophilic) toxins. Often weight loss cannot be accomplished unless these toxins are first removed.
3.
Although weight loss due to perspiration (water loss) is quickly
regained, sending more blood to the capillaries and converting fats and
carbohydrates results in as much as 600 calories burned during one
short sauna session.
Cellulite Reduction
Because
cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and waste
products trapped near the surface of the skin, The Detox Box is very
beneficial. It is particularly effective in cellulite removal when used
in conjunction with a program including diet and massage.
Relieves Pain
Far
infrared heat can help relieve pain by dilating (widening) blood
vessels. This causes increased blood circulation and allows more oxygen
to reach injured areas. It also helps reduce pain and speeds up the
healing process. Far infrared heat has also been used extensively in
the treatment of arthritis, rheumatism and muscle spasms.
Cardiovascular Conditioning
The
body’s natural reaction to heat is to cool itself. It does this by
diverting blood from internal organs to the extremities and skin. This
increases heart rate, cardiac output and the metabolic rate. Medical
research indicates that use of The Detox Box may be as effective a
means of cardiovascular conditioning as regular exercise. This is
especially important for those individuals who are not physically
capable of exercising. NASA concluded in the 1980’s that far infrared
stimulation is the ideal way for astronauts to maintain cardiovascular
conditioning during long space flights.
Exercise Effect
Works your heart similar to a 10 kilometre run.
If
you take a 30 minute sauna in The Detox Box, you perspire the same
amount as if you had run 10 kilometres. Clearly for people not in a
position to take such regular exercise this sauna is a viable
alternative.
Immune System Improvement
A typical sauna
session will cause a brief 1 to 2 degree Celsius increase in body
temperature. Fever is the body’s defence against bacteria, microbes and
consequent infection. This beneficial side effect triggers the
production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by your bone marrow and
killer T cells by your thymus. The result is immune system improvement.
Your immune system is strengthened because when your body temperature
is raised, your systems fight this "artificial fever".
Stress Reduction
Continuous
strain on the autonomic nervous system often leads to a high level of
stress, one of the elusive causes of many chronic diseases. By
facilitating the expansion of capillary vessels thereby improving
circulation, stress levels are reduced.
Eliminate Toxins
The Detox Box removes toxins,
such as heavy metals (see sweat analysis chart above), that accumulate
due to sluggish elimination. It increases the eliminative, detoxifying,
and cleansing capacity of the skin by stimulating the sweat glands.
It's a Toxic World
Today
more than 77,000 chemicals are in active production. Our exposure to
these chemicals is greater than at any time. More than 3,000 chemicals
are added to our food supply. More than 10,000 chemicals in the form of
solvents, emulsifiers and preservatives are used in food processing and
storage. When ingested these chemicals can remain in the body for
years, altering our metabolism, causing enzyme dysfunction and
nutritional deficiencies, creating hormonal imbalances and lowering our
threshold of resistance to chronic disease. We are continually
subjected to poor air quality, chemically contaminated food and water,
household cleansers, paint fumes, pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides,
heavy metals (including mercury) and the list goes on and on. Today,
studies show that most of us have between 400 and 800 chemical residues
stored in the fat cells of our bodies. These chemicals and heavy metals
make up the "total toxic burden". When our bodies exceed the limit that
we can excrete, we begin to store these toxins. This bioaccumulation
seriously compromises our physiological and psychological health and
leads to chronic disease.
Toxicity Symptoms
The
following symptoms are often related to toxicity: allergies, acne,
anxiety, burning skin, brain fog, chronic fatigue, chemical
sensitivities, depression, eczema, frequent colds or flu, feeling "sick
all over", insomnia, loss of dexterity, low body temperature, memory
loss, mood swings, muscle and joint pains and poor concentration.
Detox, Detox, Detox
"Studies
now confirm that diet and environmental chemicals cause 95% of cancers.
Furthermore, as the first generation of man exposed to such an
unprecedented plethora of daily chemicals, we have learned that stored
or undetoxified chemicals can mimic any disease. "Incurable" chronic
diseases that were thought to have no known cause often disappear once
toxic chemicals are gone. Since the far infrared sauna is the safest,
most efficacious and economical way of depurating stored toxins, this
makes it a household necessity."

Our methods of
eliminating toxins in the body are few. We are limited to the faeces,
the urine, perspiration and respiration. When the liver, kidneys and
lungs have been damaged by chronic exposure to environmental toxins our
ability to rid our bodies of toxins becomes severely limited. Through
various methods we can cleanse the liver and kidneys, which will help
us address future toxins, but we are still left with the fat-stored
(lipophilic) toxins and heavy metals stored in connective tissue and
the brain.
