Did you know that getting into the sauna 3-5 times per week may actually be able to treat Hashimoto's thyroiditis? FAR IR sauna has a number of benefits that you as a Hashimoto's patient should be aware of so you can take advantage of them.

First, let's talk about what a FAR IR sauna is and how it compares to a regular Finnish sauna.

The FAR IR sauna contains a combination of both heat and light waves that have therapeutic benefits. Both the Finnish and FAR IR saunas heat up the body and cause sweating but the penetration of the FAR IR sauna is greater which is why it's probably better for detox. FAR IR light waves can penetrate several centimeters into the skin which is enough to get into subcutaneous fat cells, some ligaments/joints, and even some superficial organs.

We also know that heating up the body induces many beneficial changes to both enzymes, proteins, and even genetic changes. These occur as your body tries to get back to its normal state. The triggering of these proteins and enzymes enhance the detoxification process which make sauna therapy so effective.

What type of benefits will getting into a FAR IR Sauna provide? Check them out below:

#1. Detoxification

#2. Reduced inflammation

#3. Weight loss

#4. Relaxation and stress reduction

#5. Improved immune function

#6. Pain relief

#7. More energy

#8. Better sleep

Want to get these benefits? You'll want to spend at least 15 minutes 3-5 times per week in a FAR IR sauna. Try to get a deep sweat while you are in there. FAR IR sauna therapy is safe and effective as long as it is done correctly.
