Ozone Sauna Sessions

The use of a sauna should be an important part of any detoxification program. The sauna 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 steam sauna 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 through the skin to 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 the easiest and best way 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 moist heat and ozone cleanse the lymphatic system, which carries 90% of the body's fluids. Ozone brings oxygen to the tissues for enhanced health and vitality. The combination of steam and ozone is a natural, effective way to promote a refreshing sense of well-being. We believe that  an Ozone/Steam Sauna cabinet represents a pleasant and easy to follow form of body cleansing.

Benefits of ozone sauna: 

• Relaxes and loosens 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. 
  Boosts blood circulation, helping injured muscles to repair quicker. 
• Stimulates vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels relieving pain and speeding the healing process. 
• Eliminates bacterial and viral infections of all kinds. 
• Speeds up the metabolic processes of the inner organs and endocrine glands resulting in a loss of 200-450 calories in a 20 minute session.

Therapeutic Benefits Of Dry Infra-Red Sauna

• Weight loss
  Burn up to 800 calories without exercise. One 30-minute session burns up to 300 calories. One single infrared session can raise your metabolism for the remainder of the day, providing you with additional burning power of up to 500 extra calories, giving a total of 800 calories burned in a given day. This treatment is great for someone who is unable to exercise as it helps shed pounds as well as improve cardiovascular function. Several treatments once a week is recommended.
• Detoxification
  The rays penetrate into the tissues and stimulate the release of toxins that are stored deep within the body. Eliminating toxins from your body helps protect you from developing cancers and degenerative diseases. Once cleansed, you’ll have more energy to do the things you love to do
• Improves skin conditions and helps treat cellulite 
• Infrared therapy has been shown to relieve acne, psoriasis, burns, eczema and also removes roughness and decreases scarring. The deep penetration of infrared energy aids in the breakdown and release of stored fat from the body. Thus it helps reduce the appearance of cellulite. 
• Improved Immune System
  Infrared sauna treatments raise your core body temperature, thus stimulating the immune system and making you stronger at fighting off viruses, bacteria and other infections. If you feel the early signs of a cold coming on, come in for a sauna treatment to help rev up your immune system. This will reduce your number of sick days. 
• Pain Relief
  Far infrared therapy has been shown to be effective at providing pain relief to those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, sprains, strains, bursitis, fibromyalgia, headaches, migraines, and many other muscular-skeletal ailments. It is excellent for reducing pain and soreness in muscles and joints after a workout. 
• Heart Health
  Infrared therapy stimulates the cardiovascular system, resulting in similar conditioning benefits to that of continuous physical exercise. It has been used to treat high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and congestive heart failure. Sauna combined with dietary changes, supplementation, and regular daily walking can bring your cholesterol levels back to normal in as quickly as 6 months. 
• Stress Relief
  Infrared therapy has been shown to promote total body relaxation. It balances the body’s hormones through the nervous system, thereby reducing the negative impact of stress on the mind and body. For those suffering from insomnia, infrared therapy can promote a deeper and more restful sleep. 
• Boosts Mood & Fights Seasonal Depression
  Our Infra red sauna has an optional Colour Light Therapy while the person is bathed in the infrared rays for added therapeutic affects on mood and thought patterns. The colored lights are built into the sauna, which are used for stimulating hormone balancing. 

What exactly is far infrared sauna, and how does it work?

Infrared waves are part of the invisible electromagnetic spectrum (EM). The human body naturally sends out and absorbs far-infrared waves. The optimal range of wavelengths that has regenerative effects on our bodies are between 7 and 14 microns – known as the “Vital Range”. This sauna features far infrared therapy that emits wavelengths within this “Vital Range”. Japanese medical researchers suggest that this frequency causes water molecules to vibrate, which can accelerate the release of toxins from the body, bringing you multiple health benefits. 

Infrared saunas are superior to traditional saunas in that they operate at lower temperatures of 30-60C compared to traditional saunas that operate at 85-110 C. This allows you to be able to breathe comfortably and enjoy the benefits for extended periods of time. At Avisio Naturopathic, our saunas emit only soft, dry heat as opposed to wet heat from traditional saunas that use steam. The infrared rays penetrate up to 2 inches deep, giving your organs and tissues a thorough stimulation. This induces sweating 2-3 times as much as conventional saunas. Due to busy schedules, many of us find it challenging to engage in activities that promote active sweating. Numerous medical studies show that deep sweating has multiple benefits such as helping to reduce levels of heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, and hydrocarbon residues – all toxins commonly picked up from our environment. Regular bathing in our dry infrared sauna will allow you to perspire more quickly and profusely, and hence reap the benefits of a good deep sweat.
