The Secret Detox Tool

Where Did This Secret Detox Tool Begin?

The secret I'm referring to is the infrared sauna.

Infrared saunas were thought to have originated from research done
by NASA in the sixties or eighties. Which decade depends on the web site
you read.

The Secret Tool Was Not Created At NASA

I've looked at the NASA products spin-off database from their developments for space flight and I can't see any references to NASA producing the far infrared sauna.

However, digging a bit further I found an article by Dr. Aaron M Flickstein titled "Research on Far Infrared Rays". In it Dr. Flickstein notes that,

"Dr. Tadashi Ishikawa, a member of the Research and Development Department of Fuji Medical, received a patent in 1965 for a zirconia ceramic infrared heater used in the first healing infrared thermal systems."

He then goes on to say that only Japanese medical practitioners used infrared systems for 14 years. Until 1979 when they were released for public use.

Infrared therapy was further refined and started selling in the USA around 1981.

So it is conceivable that NASA began using it for astronauts in the mid 1980's as some sauna web sites claim.

How You Can Get The Full Detox Benefits
From An Infrared Sauna

If you want the full detoxification benefits of an infrared sauna it is important that you use it the right way.

An infrared sauna heats tissues to a greater depth compared to a conventional sauna. So you do need to decide whether to get checked out first before your infrared sauna session.

People Who Should Check Before Using An Infrared Sauna

• Those on medication


• Specific chronic or acute illness


• Implants


• Getting pain

To explain a little further:

If you're on prescription medication you should check with your doctor or pharmacist whether the drug volume should be reduced or increased when using far infrared.

If you have a specific ailment you must talk through with your doctor exactly how you intend to use an infrared sauna. There may be no problem, however your doctor may be aware of certain diseases that should not be heated higher than your "normal" core body temperature. Because this is relatively new technology your doctor may not be aware of it.

If you have silicone or metal implants or heart monitors or pacemakers it makes sense to check with your doctor whether heating with infrared heat will affect it, and you! Of course in the unlikely event that you feel any pain stop using the sauna.

People Who Should Not Use An Infrared Sauna

If you've an internal infection, such as a tooth cavity, an infected joint injury or other infection you should wait until it has healed before using the infrared sauna.

Pregnant women are wise to stop taking saunas until after birth as the infrared sauna does heat down to a deep level of tissue. We know of no study that says it's harmful but it's just not worth any risk to the unborn child.

If you're prone to excessive bleeding you should avoid infrared saunas. This is because heating causes vasodilation which in the majority of people is beneficial. In haemophiliacs and others with a higher bleeding risk it can increase the likelihood of bleeding.

Who Benefits From An Infrared Sauna?

Athletes, footballers, golfers, in fact anyone who has an active life style. What's more the infrared sauna can promote faster healing of sprains and other injuries.

(leave 48 hours before using the sauna to allow swelling and heat to reduce from the injury first).

Infrared heat will help recovery, with or without injury because:

1. Infrared heat increases the extensibility of collagen tissues
2. Infrared heat reduces stiff joints
3. Infrared heat reduces muscle spasms
4. Infrared heat helps with pain relief
5. Infrared heat increases blood flow to promote healing.

So it's also useful for people with arthritic conditions and also with leg or body ulcers because of the deeper penetrating heat and the ability to get the blood flowing faster.

Skin conditions such as eczema, acne, nettle rash Psoriasis and even blocked pores are all helped by infrared sauna therapy.

There is quite a list of medical conditions that are all alleviated or improved with infrared sauna therapy.

A large number of studies have been conducted by Japanese and other researchers showing the benefits of far infrared therapy. It's taken a while and people are now talking about this secret detox tool.
