Far Infrared Offers Hope To Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Sufferers

Far Infrared Sauna Therapy (or thermal therapy) studies are being conducted all the time by the Japanese.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), sometimes called ME, is not simply tiredness and is something that mainstream doctors have really only relatively recently started to believe occurs in people.

The study I'm going to refer to was sent in by a lady who bought one of our saunas to help her with her own CFS condition.

The research has been conducted by Akinori Masudaa, Takashi Kiharab, Tsuyoshi Fukudomeb, Takuro Shinsatob, Shinichi Minagoeb and Chuwa Tei all from either Kagoshima University Hospital or Kagoshima University Graduate School of Medicine

The study title is:

The effects of repeated thermal therapy for two
patients with chronic fatigue syndrome

The study uses two cases to research the effects of a Far Infra Red Sauna treatment.

Case 1: 26 Year old patient unable to work for 3 years

The patient had a 3-year history of general fatigue, femoral myalgia, low-grade fever, and sleep disturbance. During that time treatment with prednisolone (PSL) failed.

These symptoms appeared after tonsillitis.

Her antinuclear antibody level was skyhigh.

Both she and another patient with CFS (case 2) had repeated thermal therapy using Far Infrared.

They found a dramatic improvement in their subjective symptoms.

And even better, they became socially rehabilitated 6 months after discharge.

Both patients recovered very well even when PSL medication was discontinued.

Good News For Poor Sleepers

The researchers also found that the Far-infrared sauna has a sleep-enhancing effect and both patients sleep scores improved.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Improvement Is Promising

They conclude that the symptoms of CFS patients dramatically improved after repeated thermal therapy using Far Infrared saunas.

They also conclude that more people need to be studied to check that the effects work across the different groups of people affected by CFS.
