More defense from Illness

When you spend time in a sauna our internal temperature increases and it almost simulates a fever. When our body runs a fever it produces more white blood cells. Why?

Internal Healing Benefits

The benefit of infrared sauna to our insides is difficult to directly see, but it’s happening. Rays from the sauna heater don’t just warm the air around you and your skin. They also penetrate to you organs helping to heal damaged tissues below the skins surface, and also relieve aches and pains. Often arthritis patients use a far Infrared sauna to reduce their suffering.
