Because infrared rays penetrate the body through conversion, there is a deep heatingeffect in both the muscle tissues and internal organs without putting too much burden onthe heart.Our body reacts to the increased heating through the natural cooling process of perspiring. Through the perspiration process, acid and waste residue like toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol, and the potentially carcinogenic heavy metals are removed from thecells (especially zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium, etc.). The pores of our skin open anddischarge waste products shedding any old skin cells leaving the skin glowing and clean, with improved tone, elasticity, texture, and color.Since infrared saunas do not require hot stones, water or steam to run, they require very little maintenance. You only need to wipe them with water - use a damp, soft and clean cloth. Do not use any chemical based cleaners as they may be absorbed into the wood and released into your sauna during use.Health Benefits Include, But Are Not Limited To: *Pain relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis *Relaxes muscle spasms *Reduces cellulite*Increases blood circulation *Clears, rashes, acne *Enhances skin tone*Cardiovascular conditioning *Reduces stress & fatigue *Removes toxins.
