The health benefits of a near infrared sauna
Live naturally in an unnatural world
Saunas are popular luxury of spa and health club culture. However, they are not a new innovation of the modern age, in fact, they have been around for a thousand years, used by various cultures for their various health benefits.
The Mayans had their hot houses, Native Americans have their sweat lodges, and Russians have their bathhouses. Do not let this rich history mistake you into thinking that saunas are an antiquated therapy, in fact, with the recent invention of near infrared technology, saunas can take the healing and therapeutic process into a whole new level
I’m going to share with you over 15 ways that a near infrared can help you with your health. This in my opinion is an essential edition to your health regime and has many studies related. Another one of my favorite treatments, it makes my skin glow and I always feel I’ve had a 5k walk around the block. It’s also encouraging as not everyone can exercise and we need alternatives. This is more common than we think. Unfortunately, being sedentary can lead to blood pressure issues, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular issues and more. New research shows that the use of a sauna may provide a substitute or alternative to exercise when you can’t get the exercise you need for whatever reason
