In today's lifestyles, most of us don't actively perspire on a daily basis. Numerous medical studies show that deep sweating has multiple health benefits. Regular bathing in a Far-Infrared Sauna by Norpe Helo provides the benefits derived from a deep sweat.

In the heat of a sauna the core body temperature begins to rise and the blood vessels dilate, causing increased blood flow. As heat from the blood moves towards the skin and the core body temperature rises, the body's nervous system sends signals to the millions of sweat glands in the skin. As the sweat glands are stimulated, the body begins to perspire.

Sweat production is primarily for cooling and is composed mostly of water. But deep sweating in a sauna can help reduce levels of lead, copper, zinc, nickel and mercury - all toxins commonly picked up from our environment.At the same time, skin is cleansed and dead skin cells are replaced, keeping your skin in good condition.

Perspiration rinses bacteria out of the epidermal layer and sweat ducts. Cleansing of the skin's pores improves the capillary circulation and gives the skin a soft and beautiful appearance.

Under high heat, the body releases endorphins - the body's naturally produced pain relieving chemical. Endorphins can have a mild and enjoyable tranquilising effect and the ability to quell the pain of arthritis, or muscle soreness from an intense physical workout.

Body temperature rises from the heat of the sauna, causing blood vessels to dilate and circulation to increase. The increased blood flow accelerates the body's natural healing process - soothing aches and pains and speeding th healing of cuts and bruises.

Following sporting activity, or other physical exertions, use the heat of the sauna for muscle relaxation. The acion of the sauna helps to reduce muscle tension and eliminate lactic acid and other toxins.
