In Europe and Asia, radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients
suffering from many forms of arthritis. The deep heat of our
infrared
sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and
healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. It has been proven
effective
in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms,
joint stiffness and many other musculoskeletal ailments. Increased
blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers
oxygen-rich blood to depleted muscles so they recover faster.
Muscles
relax most readily when tissues are warm, promoting greater flexibility
and range of motion. Much of the stiffness, aches and soreness
that
come with aging can be reduced or eliminated with daily infrared
sauna use.

The effect is
often compared
to the use of a heating pad, but it's as if you could have
a giant heating pad enveloping your whole body, without the discomfort
that
such a pad might bring. Users report the relief from the infrared
sauna lasting longer than a traditional heating pad as well. FAR INFRARED CASE STUDY
Dr. Masao Nakamura of the O & P Medical Clinic in Japan reported
success with the use of infrared heat treatment for: acne, arthritis,
gastroenteric problems, insomnia, menopause, and whiplash. The McGraw-Hill
Encyclopedia of Science and Technology reports "medical practitioners
make use of infrared radiant heat to treat sprains, strains, bursitis,
peripheral vascular diseases, arthritis, and muscle pain…"
