Did You Know These Studies Improved Heart Patients Symptoms?

The American College of Cardiology reports on the successful treatment of "impaired blood vessel functions in patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and high cholesterol"

The study authored by Dr. Imamura, et.al ( Kagoshima Japan) followed 25 men who each had at least 1 of the risk factor above.

Each patient was treated in an Infrared Sauna for 15 minutes once a day for 2 weeks.

The results showed the following:

• Significantly lowered blood pressure
• Significant weight loss
• Significantly lowered blood sugar
• Significantly increased blood flow
• Lowered cholesterol
• Lowered triglycerides

A much later study by Miyamoto H, Kai H, Nakaura H, Osada K, Mizuta Y, Matsumoto A, Imaizumi T from the Third Department of Internal Medicine, Kurume University School of Medicine, Japan investigated the safety and efficacy of repeated use of infrared saunas by patients with chronic systolic heart failure.

Each patient in this study was treated in an Infrared Sauna once a day for 4 weeks.

After the 4 weeks it found that in 13 of the 15 patients studied symptoms had improved.

The reports conclusion was that using an Infrared Sauna was safe and improved symptoms and the chronic Congestive Heart Failure patients ability to tolerate exercise had improved too.

These studies and a previous post build up the strong evidence that demonstrates that the infrared sauna improves heart symptoms and the general quality of lives of patients too.
