A home sauna delivers the comforts and health benefits of a full-fledged sauna facility. In today?s stress-filled life, a home sauna is a real boon. The medical community has long since acknowledged the therapeutic benefits of exposing oneself to controlled humidity at temperatures of 80 °C or above. Saunas induce sweating, which causes a decrease in the body?s toxic load and thereby promotes better health. Of course, the same precautions one must exercise in full-scale saunas apply to home saunas, too. Overuse can result in heat prostration or the even more serious hyperthermia.
Sauna facilities were previously only available in settings such as college or university physical education complexes, public sports centers and gyms. With the modern home sauna, we are no longer limited to such establishments. Today, we can derive the benefits of saunas in terms of weight loss, cardiovascular health, treatment of many skin disorders and beauty needs, immune system boosting and as adjunctive therapy to treatment of to a number of other disorders. The use of saunas also increases the metabolic rate, which helps eliminate toxic waste products through the skin because of the sweating effect. This is significant, since the skin can be responsible for eliminating 30% of waste form the body.
Infrared home saunas are the latest advance in this field. They employ infrared rays emitted by infrared heaters to build up the required warmth. This technology is far superior to traditional sauna formats. The latter use heated steam, which can have adverse effects if used improperly. Infrared home saunas, however, create a sauna environment within a wooden box or even an open space while the heaters create the actual heating effect. This provides heat directly to the skin, eliminating the need to heat the surrounding air as well. In fact, the generated heat is very similar to that produced by the sun.
Home saunas of any type are immensely beneficial, eliminating toxins from the body and bringing about deep relaxation. However, infrared home saunas have several advantages over the conventional full-sized varieties. In addition to delivering all the associated benefits, they are also compact and portable. Infrared home saunas are also superior to the traditional sauna format because of the added safety factor. In addition, the heat generated in an infrared home sauna has the capacity to penetrate more than 1.5 inches into the body. This has a healing effect on under-stimulated tissues. It also has immense therapeutic value in serious disorders such as arthritis, as well as in tissue injuries. In fact, many advocates of the infrared sauna system claim that it is the only genuine means of eliminating artificial toxins from the human body.
They employ far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat, which is completely safe. The only comparable source of radiant energy is the sun, whose rays can have detrimental effects because excessive doses of sunlight damage the skin. That is not the case with infrared saunas, however. Monitoring devices control the heat and level of radiation very precisely. There are also lower chances of bacterial infections, which can happen in traditional steam-based saunas. Other problems that can occur in normal steam saunas include overheating and resultant breathing difficulties.

The past 150 years have been a time of incredible progress for medicine, science and industry. Because of these advancements we now enjoy longer, more productive lives. However, there are many who pay a tremendously high price for our modern lifestyle. The by-products of our chemical technology have resulted in ubiquitous contamination of our atmosphere, lakes, oceans and soil. Our natural environment is now permeated by a barrage of "unnatural" substances.
Unquestionably, many of the chemical sources have been in existence for centuries. However, today we are exposed to chemical concentrations far greater than were our ancestors. Although the human mechanism is known to be accommodating , ecological alterations are now occurring at a faster rate than our bodies are able to adapt. We are now faced with a situation where inadequacies or uncertainties centering around the manufacturing, use, storage, and disposal of toxic chemicals, have resulted in an overwhelming number of environmentally -induced illnesses.
Since 1965, over 4 million distinct chemical compounds have been reported in scientific literature. Over 6000 new chemicals were added to this list between 1965 and 1978. As of 1981, of over 70,000 chemicals in commercial production, 3,000 have been identified as intentionally added to our food supplies and over 700 in drinking water. During food processing and storage 10,000 other compounds can become an integral part of many commonly used foods. Added to this list of potential body toxins, petrochemicals, industrial waste, medical and street drugs, radiation (X-rays, nuclear fallout etc.) and tons of pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides, the result is an incredible chemical avalanche to have befallen the human race in a relatively short period of evolutionary history.

There is currently a wealth of scientific evidence showing that thousands of drugs, preservatives, pesticides, and other pollutants remain stored in the body long after exposure. We know for example that an organochlorinated pesticide such as the metabolites of DDT have a half life of between 20 and 50 years in the fat deposits of humans. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over 400 chemicals have been detected in human tissue; 48 were found in adipose tissue, 40 in breastmilk, 73 in the liver and over 250 in the blood.

The process of bodily accumulation and storage of toxins is known as "toxic bio-accumulation". Though the predominate storage site in the body is the fatty tissue, toxins may re-enter the bloodstream during times of physical stress (i.e.. illness, fasting, excessive heat, exercise) or emotional stress. Every organ that is accessible to these chemicals, which have been mobilized or released from the fat, is being continually exposed at low levels. As stated by Dr. William L. Marcus, Senior Advisor and Chief Toxicologist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, "It's a chronic exposure. That's why chemicals like dioxin, even in small amounts, are extremely dangerous. Unfortunately the human body has no previous experience with these chemicals and there is no natural machinery in the body to break them down, much less eliminate them.

Human accumulation of such compounds as DDT, PCP, PCB, and dioxin, reflect biologically persistent chemicals which are partitioned in the body from water into lipids. Eventually the metabolizing of xenobiotics (chemicals foreign to the biological system) leads to the accumulation of the chemicals and/or their products in lipid deposits throughout the body, particularly in adipose tissue. The simple chemistry involved in this process can be illustrated by the fact that some chemicals readily dissolve in water, while others dissolve only in oil bases. Oil soluble chemicals therefore have a tendency to accumulate in body fatty tissue or lipids, which are also insoluble in water. There is no such thing as a fat "cell"...[rather] almost every cell has a fat component. The brain has a high fat content as does virtually every organ.

Directly or indirectly, toxic residues find there way into our air, food and water supplies. The net effect of this ecological overload is to alter the body's balance or "homeostasis". This interference with our natural biological tendencies to restore internal balance, results in "disease" in one form or another. According to Professor Edward J. Calabrese of the University of Massachusetts, and author of Pollutants and High Risk Groups, "It is this homeostatic process which neutralizes the pollutant's effect and returns the system to equilibrium."

Marshall Mandell, MD, nationally renowned in the field of bio-ecologic medicine, wrote in a recent publication that the influx of chemicals in our society today "has resulted in a lowered threshold of resistance and subsequent inability to cope with the natural and unnatural environment due to altered body metabolism, enzyme dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances." Health depends on the balance of both external and internal environmental forces.

There is a wealth of literature documenting illnesses in humans from exposure to chemicals as listed above. These illnesses include cancers of virtually every organ system of the body, as well as leukemia, liver disease, pulmonary damage, anemia and blood changes, nervous system disease, immune system damage, psychological damage, reproductive and fertility impairment, and kidney dysfunction. There are also many sub-clinical abnormalities that are suspected to result from presumed chemical exposure and the list grows longer each year.

In response to the above facts, many health care practitioners have been recommending a vast array of detoxification programs. Circulating toxins and toxic bowels need proper cleansing. The removal of these toxins is relatively well known. When toxins are deposited in fat storage sites this becomes much more complicated. The only way to remove toxins from the fat storage sites is to mobilize the toxic fat. Heat-stress [of a sauna] is an effective method of removing fat-stored toxins from the body.
