Benefits of Ozone/Steam/Far Infra Red Detoxification and Wellness Sauna

INTRODUCTION TO OZONE STEAM AND FAR INFRA RED
The Romans are well known for their elaborate baths. The wealthy of 200 B.C. IN India did not consider their mansion complete unless it included a bathhouse with a steam room. The Muslim Hamman, or bathhouse, is an integral part of life in Muslim countries. The Turkish bath has been popular in Europe for centuries. Today, steam and sauna facilities are an integral part of the hydrotherapeutic offerings at European and American spas, and steam rooms and saunas are a common feature of health clubs and public pools.
The use of the Saunozone should be an important part of any detoxification program. The Saunozone increases the eliminative, detoxifying and cleansing capacity of the skin by stimulation of the sweat glands and also promotes healthy skin tone and texture due to increased blood circulation. Using the Saunozone with ozone allows the steam to surround the body and ozone can be introduced through the skin. Humid heat opens the pores, which allows the ozone to pass through the skin into the bloodstream, where it can travel to the fat and lymph tissue. It is very important to cleanse the lymph tissue of toxins and the ozone/steam sauna is one of the easiest and best ways to accomplish this.
Artificially induced hyperthermia (rising body temperature results in the destruction of bacteria and viruses) combined with heavy sweating and a cleansing effect initiated by ozone will result in elimination of toxins accumulated mainly in the lymphatic system relieving the liver from the difficult task of dealing with them. Through the centuries, men and women have used steam to purify the skin, soothe sore muscles, boost circulation and to simply relax. The combined action of moisture, heat and ozone cleanses the lymphatic system, which carries 90% of the body’s fluids. Ozone brings oxygen to the tissues for enhanced health and vitality.
Infrared heat is light produced by the sun. This is the heat you feel penetrate your skin when you stand in the sun – and miss when you walk into the shade. Infrared energy is also given off as body heat. It has nothing to do with ultraviolet light which gives you sunburn and damages your skin.
The infrared heat rays warm your body directly. This allows an in-depth heat in a more pleasant temperature of 110-150 ¡ãF(43 – 66¡ãC), thus providing more health benefits and a highly enjoyable and comfortable environment. Infrared light is part of the Sun’s invisible spectrum of light. The benefits of infrared light are manifested in its ability to penetrate the human tissue. Infrared heater technology uses these far-infrared light characteristics to provide you with several healthful benefits. The experience of a far infrared sauna is akin to sunbathing, which gives you the radiant beauty that is all your own. The far-infrared heat (FIR light waves) penetrates your skin, giving you that wonderful natural warmth. Unlike sunbathing, you can relax in a far infrared sauna for hours and it will never cause your skin to burn. Infrared heater technology is completely healthy and safe for all living things
The combination of steam, ozone and far infra red is a natural, effectiveway to promote a refreshing sense of well-being. We believe that the Saunozone represents a pleasant and easy to follow form of body cleansing.

SUMMARY

The Saunozone has the ability to :
• Relax and loosen muscles by reducing the buildup of lactic acid and increasing muscle flexibility.
• Oxidizes toxins so they can be eliminated through the skin, lungs, kidneys and colon.
• Boost blood circulation, helping injured muscles to repair quicker.
• Stimulate vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels relieving pain and speeding the healing process.
• Eliminates bacterial and viral infections of all kinds.
• Speed up the metabolic processes of the inner organs and endocrine glands resulting in a loss of 200-450 calories in a 20-minute session.

Newest research shows steam hyperthermia an effective treatment for:
• Detoxification programs
• Immune system deficiencies
• Pain management
• Cancer
• Arthritis
• Stress and muscle tension
• Increasing body metabolism
• Elimination of toxins
• Blood circulation
Although often misunderstood as only a symptom of disease, fever actually is a part of the body’s natural healing response. Steam baths, sauna, far infra red and other heat-inducing treatments elicit similar healing responses in the body, and consequently are often called “artificial fevers.”
During a fever, the functioning of the immune system is stimulated, while the growth of bacteria and virus is forced to slow down. The production of white blood cells, the primary agents of the immune system, is increased, as is the rate of their release into the blood stream. The generation of antibodies speeds up, as does the production of interferon, an anti viral protein that also has powerful cancer-fighting properties.
Apart from stimulating the immune system, fever slows down the proliferation of invading organisms by creating an inhospitable environment. At 104 degrees F., for example, the growth rate of the polio virus is reduced up to 250 times; at 106 degrees pneumococcus, a bacterium responsible for pneumonia dies. There is evidence that artificial fever works as an immune system stimulant by increasing the number of white blood cells in the body. In a 1959-review of studies on the effects of heat treatments, Mayo Clinic researcher Dr. Wakim and colleagues cite findings indicating that the number of white blood cells in the blood increased by an average of 58% during artificially induced fever. Researchers also have found increases in the activity of the white blood cells during induced fever.
In addition, as in the case of bodily induced fever, the raised temperature during the artificial fever reduces the growth rate of most bacteria and viruses, giving the immune system time to mobilize its own forces. Indeed, many regular steam or sauna bathers have experienced that a good, long sweat bath at the early onset of a cold or flu can help ward off the disease before in manifests as actual symptoms.
Heat speeds up the chemical processes in the body, making steam and sauna bathing one of the simplest and most comfortable ways to rid the body of accumulated toxins. As the pores open up and the million of sweat glands start to excrete, the body rids itself of metabolic and other waste products. Sweat contains almost the same elements as urine, and for this reason, the skin is sometimes called the third kidney. It is estimated that a much as 30% of bodily wastes are eliminated by way of perspiration.
In Finland, research is being done on the use of sweat therapy in the treatment of people who are chemically affected. The purifying effects of perspiration could also be behind claims that steam and sauna treatments can help cure or control such ailments as acne and arthritis.
Steam and sauna bathing produces powerful therapeutic effects simply by increasing circulation. As the carrier of the rebuilding forces of the nutrients to all parts of the body, the bloodstream plays a crucial role in the maintenance of health.
Steam and sauna treatments have a stimulating effect on the cardiovascular system. The pulse rate increases from 75 beats per minute to between 100-150 beats per minute during a 15-20 minute treatment. This increases blood circulation, but not blood pressure, since the heat also causes the tiny blood vessel in the skin to expand, accommodating the increased blood flow. The dilation of the capillary vessels enables the bloodstream to carry great amounts of nutrients to the skin, enhancing the nutritive status of the skin.
There are a few precautions to keep in mind. Because of the increase in cardiovascular activity caused by the high heat, sweat therapy is not recommended for people with heart disease or other cardiovascular problems. Individuals with high blood pressure should first consult their doctor. In addition, the treatment is not advised for pregnant women, small children, or the elderly. Do not take a sweat treatment if you have a fever or an open wound. If you have been working out, be sure that your body has had time to cool down before exposing it to the heat of a sweat bath.
Drink plenty of water or herbal tea before and after the sweat bath to replace fluids lost during the treatment. The sweat glands can secrete up to 30 grams of sweat per minute, or almost one pint per 15 minutes, so dehydration is a very real possibility, if you are not careful. Fatigue and other indications of dehydration can occur with as little as 1 to 2% loss in body weight.
The main thing to keep in mind is to enjoy the process. Do not push your body beyond its comfort level; the point is not to sweat it out the longest, but to allow your mind and body toluxuriate in this health-enhancing and invigorating miniature spa treatment
