ABOUT

SWEATING

The skin is the largest organ in or on the human body, and acts as a shield and defense against pathogens from the environment. It also has a degree of permeability which allows certain particles in and out of its surface. Thus the skin is one of the 7 main avenues of detoxification and elimination.

Due to both sweat glands and oil glands on the skin, we can excrete water soluble particles. We can also shed oil based toxins such as gasoline, pesticides and ingredients from chemical skin ‘care’ and home ‘care’ products. [25]

Saunas are one of the most effective ways to induce sweat and boost natural detoxification processes in the body. During a sauna your body is subjected to reasonable amounts of heat stress. It gradually becomes acclimated to the heat, prompting a number of beneficial changes to occur in your body.

These adaptations include increased plasma volume and blood flow to your heart and muscles, which increase athletic endurance. Additionally it causes increased muscle mass due to greater levels of heat-shock proteins and growth hormone, and is a powerful detoxification method. [12]

BENEFITS

There are Sweat Lodges, Steam saunas and Dry saunas. The one of most interest for heavy metal detoxification is the Infra-Red Sauna, which use electromagnetic radiation rather than heat to warm the body. [12]

As the energy goes directly into the skin and bodily tissues rather than heating the air, you can attain a deep sweat without the discomfort of hot air. [22]

These saunas reportedly improve heart and cardiovascular health, and penetrate and heat the body very effectively even though the air in the saunas is lower than a dry sauna or steam sauna. [23] Infra-Red rays penetrate 2 to 7 cm into the skin, stimulating natural healing processes. These include preventing platelet aggregation, regulating blood pressure, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation. [21]

The sweat produced by Infra-red saunas contains 80-85% water, and the rest is composed of toxic heavy metals, sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia, cholesterol, fat soluble toxins and uric acid. [25]

STUDIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt is an avid advocate for using Infra-red saunas as part of health protocols. He recommends them to eliminate high levels of toxic metals from the body, along with ionic footbaths and EMF protection. [26]

Raymond Francis used them as a major part of his personal journey of self-healing, after being on the brink of death in his 40s. He says oil soluble toxins constantly increase as the body doesn’t know how to deal with them, and Infra-Red Saunas are one way they can be excreted. Another benefit is they reduce heart attacks and overall mortality in regular users. [24]

Studies are limited however there has been some evidence of improved cardio vascular health, blood pressure, athletic performance, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Depression, Pain and overall health status amongst regular Infra-red sauna users [23]

Steam Sauna therapy is also known to help even severe cases of Heavy Metal toxicity. One such client at the Johns Hopkins Center for Environmental Medicine was treated by Dr. Ziem. The client had shockingly high levels of cadmium, aluminum, silver and mercury. He was cured completely with the aid of good old fashioned sweating in a steam sauna, so don’t dismay if you can’t access an Infra-Red version. [25]

HOW TO USE

Unlike heat based saunas, Infra-Red radiation penetrates into your skin by 2-7cm. This uses light to heat up the body directly rather than heating the air, liquefying any toxic metals that are stored there so you can sweat them out. This is different to a standard dry sauna, which just activates the sweat process – which is still great but has a different outcome.

Raymond Francis recommends 2 x weekly 60-90 minutes per session in an Infra-Red Sauna to liquefy the metals so you can sweat them out. But do it daily if you can!!

In this day and age he considers it a necessity to use saunas as a regular part of our health routine to help reduce the toxic load in the body. Make sure you drink lots of filtered water to help flush out all those toxins!

I have heard doctors recommend at least a 40 minute session to help liquefy metals for excretion. I drink at least 1/2 liter of purified water during this time to help the cleansing and sweating process.

There are several types of Infra-Red Sauna. Some are tiny rooms you can sit inside with a glass door, while others are like a cocoon that you lie inside on the floor. You can get a portable tent that you sit inside with your head sticking out, or there are wall mounted ones you can place in an enclosed space. Your choice will depend on the space you have available and your budget.

ALERT

1. Be aware of overheating and dehydration.
2. Drink plenty of water.
3. Start at a lower temperature, and work your way up, to find the right temperature and duration for you.
4. Seek medical advice if you have any heart conditions, are pregnant, have high blood pressure or any other serious medical issue.
5. Speak to your health professional if you are on medication
6. Do NOT use under the influence of intoxicants such as alcohol or recreational drugs [22]

ONSITE

Many health, recreation centers, swimming pools and gyms have them on site that you can book into by the half or full hour. The prices in my experience have ranged from 10 USD per half hour to 30 USD for 40 minutes, or free to use with some gym memberships.

AT HOME

There are many options to buy your own to use at home. Some are ready assemble out of wood, and some are small portable tent like construction out of insulating material. If you are considering buying one, here is a handy article for some things to consider: 10 Best Home Infrared Saunas to Buy in 2022

MAKE YOUR OWN!

I have seen great instructions on how to make one cheaply on Youtube, though the particular design I was looking for could not be found. I heard about a portable home made one with the four light globes that were mounted onto a backing board, about 80 cm wide X 120 cm high from memory.

This could then be hung up in an existing enclosed space such as a shower cubicle or toilet. The video links below will give you some good ideas about how to get crafty with this though! [27][28][29]
