Testimonials from our Infra Red Sauna users 'Being a regular sauna user at my gym I was intrigued by the advert I saw in a Brighton magazine. I find traditional saunas too hot at times. I took up the offer of sauna and massage as I was also suffering from stress at the time. I was also interested in the fact that it enabled the body to burn up to 800 kcal in an hour! I was surprised at how much I sweated without the discomfort of high temperatures. The combination of both sauna and massage work perfectly together as the sauna is very relaxing in itself. I would recommend this treatment to anyone suffering from stress and keen to rid their body of toxins.’ - Andrew S 'Having had 6 far infra red saunas, i have felt very cleansed. A year ago I finished a lot of dental work and was drawn to the far infra red sauna to help my body to eliminate the injections from the dental treatment. My daughter, Eve, experienced a rash on her arms. Knowing that she has been using chemical hairdyes, I booked her in to use the far infra red sauna - the rash went almost immediately after the first session. Thanks, - Maria' ‘I felt extremely relaxed and lighter after the sauna - I think I need this during the long dark winters to keep the blues at bay - Thanks’ - Miranda 'Really nice actually, I felt cleansed and calm. I didn't sweat as much as I thought I would!' - Rachael H 'Truly excellent. Sweated profusely but so comfortably. No sweat!!' - M G 'First time I tried the sauna, I hardly sweated at all. This is my third time, and I sweated profusely! Really brilliant.' - J R 'Loved it - it is gentle, but powerful. It feels really clean and pleasant. I already feel clear and with more energy. I did sweat a lot! I will definitely do it again.' - Erine V ‘I tore some muscle tissues in my calf and the sauna has really helped my muscles to heal INCREDIBLY QUICKLY! I have loads of energy the day after the sauna, and my skin feels unbelievably soft and clear. Highly recommended for any sports injuries. I am also finding my suppleness returning (I am 52!) and my aches and pains from past injuries are less severe. Thanks a lot!!’ - Judy ‘It was lush! I really enjoyed it, and I’m going to book another one, and tell everyone about it!! Thank you’ - Lian L ‘Absolutely loved the experience, can imagine myself becoming rather hooked! Very refreshing and cleansing.’ - Joe ‘Really enjoyed it, after getting temperature up to 49 degrees, sweated nicely. My face looks less puffy, and my skin feels very smooth. I feel relaxed and rejuvenated.’ ‘I used to have regular infra red sauna treatments, and had great results with my circulation. I’m starting to use it again, now I have found the Anahata Clinic, as I’m sure it will aid my healing path.’ - Christiana About Infra Red Sauna: the Hot Solution for Body Pollution In recent years we have come to realize that our environment, in a modern industrial country, is full of toxic dangers. From the mercury put in our mouths by well meaning dentists, to the lead in the solder used for our water pipes (applied by well meaning plumbers) we are surrounded by toxins. Strangely, whilst the plumbers are no longer permitted to use solder containing lead, dentists are still permitted to put mercury directly in our mouths. Household products are surprisingly full of nasty chemicals: watch out for bleaches, shampoos and cleaning products of dubious origins. Fluoride toothpaste is a particular pet hate of mine: the barefaced deception that toxic waste (fluoride) is good for us brings me out in a cold sweat of fury. In the past 50 years an estimated 5 million new chemicals have been created by man, of which 75000 are in regular everyday use; less than 10 % of these have any toxicity testing. The most worrying aspect of all is the fact that many of these toxic chemicals accumulate in our bodies rather than being flushed out, and some of them can be implicated in some truly nasty chronic problems. Thank goodness someone has, at long last, come up with a genuinely pleasant way of reducing the toxic load on our bodies, without supplements or tubes entering where the sun doesn’t shine. So, what is this latest craze to hit the worried well in America? It is called a Far Infra Red (FIR) Sauna. It has many of the same features you find in an ordinary sauna: you sit on a wooden bench in a pine clad cabin; yet the quality of the heat is different. It feels deeply warming, without that immediate feeling that “if I breathe in, my lungs will catch fire” that I feel in ordinary dry saunas. Throughout the 40 minute session the experience was more like being hugged than roasted, yet I sweated with extraordinary profusion. The Anahata Health Clinic has only just taken delivery of its FIR sauna: complete with the latest advance in Far Infra Red radiation, biocarbon panels. These black panels radiate energy in the 5.6 - 1000 microns wavelength, so the heat you feel is radiated energy, not heat from the air in the cabin (which remains cool compared to an ordinary sauna (35°C- 60°C as appose to 92°C - 104°C).) These radiant heat frequencies are the same as you feel from the sun on a cold day. Even if the air temperature is cold, when you stand in the sun, it warms you. This end of the electromagnetic spectrum is the opposite end to the harmful ultra violet rays which also come from the sun. These radiant rays are invisible and penetrate the body up to 1½ inches, where tissues selectively absorb the rays by a process called "resonant absorption". This occurs when the frequency of the far infrared rays matches the frequency of the water in the cell, causing toxins to be excreted from the body with bodily fluids (sweat, faeces and urine); the most efficient of these is sweat. Radiant heat is so efficient because it warms you, not the air. The body absorbs as much as 93% of this heat causing perspiration and producing a vast array of health benefits. After my Far Infra Red saunas I have always felt deeply cleansed: perhaps because the sweat from my sauna carries 7 times more heavy metals than my ordinary exercise-induced sweat. My skin feels different as well, and, in the mirror, I look younger: wrinkles seem to have unwrinkled themselves… this seems too good to be true! Don’t tell me it is slimming as well! Apparently the far infra red sauna will actually help reduce weight by causing the energy in fat tissues to be used to assist the body to sweat; a sit-down do-nothing workout?! I have to admit this has not yet worked for me: I have only experienced the third of my course of 10 sessions, but I would not find it so far fetched. Japanese research has found that Far Infra Red saunas have helped a huge variety of conditions including: asthma, bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, cystitis, menopause, pain, post surgical adhesions, endometriosis, muscle tension, eczema, psoriasis, acne, and many other conditions. It has even been in the national press recently, to clear the toxins from breastmilk. If you are wondering what a Far Infra Red sauna is like, you can experience the same rays right now: our palms emit radiation between 8 – 14 micron wavelength; this healing energy has been used in China for thousands of years. Hold your palms close together and you will feel the radiant heat: this is another reason why it is healthy to sleep next to someone in bed. So cuddle up and radiate, or else reconnect to the nurturing feeling of the sun on your back, at Anahata’s new Far Infra Red sauna. |
