Far Infrared Saunas: Good For The Health

Different varieties of sauna have been utilized for many decades, and in many various cultures separated in time and space with varying levels of associated culture. Traditionally, the sauna, however, isn’t as popular in the U.S.A. where it is mostly used by the health conscious and some of the Finnish members of the population.

The far infrared sauna is a popular, new type of convenient and relatively cheap sauna that instead of heating up the body indirectly by increasing the temperature of the surrounding air, or producing some sort of heated vapor, the infrared spectrum sauna heats your body by emitting infrared light waves which converts into heat upon making contact with your body. These varieties of saunas are nice to have inside a residence, because they do not need the bulky, dangerous electrical air conduction heaters found in older varieties of sauna.

Far infrared sauna are excellent to use just after a good workout of any kind, whether that is a cardiovascular workout, or even pumping iron. The sauna helps to get the heart pumping, and dilates the many blood vessels bringing blood and oxygen to the tissues. One scientific research study done in animals discovered that exposing the animals to heated conditions after having caused them to exercise under weight the animals experienced more hypertrophy than the unheated animals did. It is very likely indeed then that a similar type of effect can be experienced by humans as well.

Far infrared sauna therapy also induces a powerful rush of beta-endorphin after each sauna session that can improve mood, and sensations of contentment. Infrared sauna use, much like the act of exercise itself, triggers the release of the same well-being enhancing brain chemicals that can aid in preventing feelings of depression, and help you to be your most productive self. Perhaps if men and women were aware of this there might not be be such a high demand for anti-depressants as there is in this day and age. Sauna use, in one research study, was demonstrated to even help anorexics beat their eating disorder and regain lust for food.

Sauna use has existed for a century in its current form. In both Finland and Russia there is such an abundance of culture of sauna use that myth and legend abound. A legend of a gnome creature which lives within and guards the sauna from burning down exists with two separate names in both countries. In Finland there is a saying that translates to “you should sit in the sauna as in a church.” This saying essentially means that one should give the sauna with honor, and perhaps, ensure it is place of peace which it’s naturally intended to be.
