Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that is characterized by joint,
bone, and/or muscle pain, fatigue, and a wide range of other symptoms.
The American College of Rheumatology suggests that there are between
3 to 6 million people that suffer from fibromyalgia in America.
The condition is more common in woman than in men, with a ratio
of about nine to one, but can occur in both genders. There are
many different theories as to the causes of fibromyalgia, but most
doctors will agree that it is a combination of many different stressors
affecting the body.
THE INFRARED SAUNA FOR TREATMENT & RELIEF
Any time there are many different causes for a condition, treatment
often centers around improving the health of the body as a whole.
Both Western medical and naturopathic doctors seem to agree that
patients with fibromyalgia will benefit from a combination of mild
exercise, heat therapy, and relaxation. Use of an infrared sauna
will do just that. By burning calories, providing gentle heat therapy
and generally relaxing the body, and infrared sauna can acomplish
all three of these goals.
Daily use of an infrared sauna can be especially useful in creating
and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. By combining detoxification,
increased cardiovascular circulation, and sustained relaxation,
infrared sauna use increases the overall wellness of your body,
which in turn can help to bolster your natural immune systems.
One of the most common symptoms of fibromyalgia is chonic fatigue,
which is often related to various mineral deficiencies. Some people
believe that mineral deficiencies can lead to an increase in the
buildup of heavier and more toxic metals. The detoxifying properties
of an infrared sauna can help you to release and remove those toxic
elements from your body.
FAR INFRARED DETOXIFICATION
Doctors tend to agree that the detoxification pathways of people
with fibromyalgia have been compromised in some way. As Dr. Nirala
Jacobi of the Yellowstone Naturopathic Clinic noted, “Various
environmental overexposures to chemicals in the forms of pollution,
pesticide and herbicide residues on foods, paints, gasoline fumes,
dry cleaning chemicals, etc. can overwhelm the liver’s detoxification
system as well as decrease certain immune functions. Overexposed
people tend to be chemically sensitive, and walking down a detergent
aisle in the supermarket for example, can cause profound symptoms.
We often suggest a detoxification regime that includes adhering
to a particular diet and sweating in a infrared sauna.”
