The Bodhi Tree’s Infrared Sauna produces radiant energy, which is the same as the sun, but without the harmful ultraviolet rays.  It is absorbed directly into the human body, unlike traditional saunas which heat the body indirectly via air or steam.

Benefits:

Better Circulation and Increased Energy - the sauna’s energy penetrates deeply into joints, muscles and tissues, speeding oxygen flow, increasing circulation and improving metabolism.  Muscle pain and joint stiffness is eased

Cardiovascular Health - increases heart rate and blood circulation, crucial to maintaining one's health. The heart rate increases as more blood flow is diverted from the inner organs towards the extremities of the skin, without heightening blood pressure.

Speed Recovery from Injuries -generated heat stimulates vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities, speeding the healing of sprains and strains, thus relieving pain and reducing the time it takes the human body to recover from an injury.

Skin Beautification – due to increased blood circulation, greater amounts of nutrients are carried to the skin, thus promoting healthy tone and texture, reducing the appearance of cellulite and promoting a mild cleansing of the skin.

Detoxification – an enhanced metabolic rate causes impurities from cells, specifically inside fat cells where wastes and harmful toxins such as cholesterol and heavy metals are stored, to be purged from the body through the skin through perspiration.  The skin is often referred to as the 3rd kidney, because it is believed to be responsible for eliminating 30% of the body's waste.

Improved Immune System - the heat has a safe and positive effect on the immune system much in the same way that a fever aids in slowing and weakening the hold of virus’ and bacteria.  This helps the body ward off invading organisms. A session in the early stages of a cold or flu has been known to stop the illness before the symptoms occur.

Aids weight loss - can aid in weight loss by speeding up the metabolic process of vital organs and endocrine glands resulting in substantial caloric loss in a sauna session.

It is advised to take a shower before and after your session and to drink plenty of water before and after your session to keep hydrated.

Sauna sessions are not recommended for children.  Sessions do not replace but are a compliment to regular medical care.  If you are taking any medications, are undergoing any treatment for heart-related disease or cardiovascular disorders it is advised to ask your doctor.  If in any doubt, please consult your health care professional before having an infrared sauna session.  In the rare event, you experience pain and/or discomfort, immediately discontinue sauna use.
