Breath of Life Chiropractic has the privilege of offering Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna service.  This is just another aspect of the wellness journey, and the benefits are vast! 

• Detoxification Daily sauna sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of accumulated heavy metals and other environmental toxins. At low temperatures, infrared will penetrate the body's fat cells to expel what has built-up over time.

• Stress and fatigue reduction A few minutes in the gentle warmth of an infrared sauna will help you feel relaxed, rejuvenated and renewed. The full spectrum rays affect the autonomic nervous system, transitioning your nervous system into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest), allowing your body to repair and rebuild.

• Muscle aches, stiffness and joint pain Infrared heat can relieve inflammation, stiffness and soreness by increasing blood circulation to relax your muscles. It is also effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, and many other musculoskeletal ailments. This makes it a great complement to our chiropractic adjustments!

• Weight loss and increased metabolism The Journal of the American Medical Association has stated, regular use of a sauna imparts a similar boost on the cardiovascular system to running. As you relax in the gentle infrared heat, your body produces sweat, pumping blood and burning calories. A 30-minute session can burn somewhere between 250 calories or more. 1

• Immune system boost The penetrating infrared wavelengths from our True Wave™ Far Infrared and Full spectrum heaters will raise your core body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. Fever is the body’s natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response, as seen in the case of infection. This internal warming will enable the powerhouse navigators of your body's cells, the mitochondria, to produce greater energy for your day-to-day needs. 

• Skin conditions The profuse sweating achieved after a few minutes in an infrared sauna removes embedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and clean. Increased circulation draws your skin’s own natural nutrients to the surface, reducing the signs of aging.

• Appearance of cellulite Since the infrared radiant heat of a Jacuzzi® infrared sauna warms three times as deep as conventional saunas, it is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite. There is a direct link between the slowing of metabolic rates and the storage of toxins in fat cells.

• Heart health The Department of Family Practice at the University of British Columbia, found that infrared sauna therapy can help keep blood pressure normal, lower cholesterol levels, reduce chronic pain, and treat issues such as congestive heart failure. 2

• Diabetes support Much has been written about how infrared sauna therapy can aid and support those managing diabetes because it offers healing activities to help lower side effects. Working simultaneously, these activities include:  Improved pain threshold, Toxic elimination, Improved circulation, Internal organ cleanse
