Overview of Sweating
It’s no secret that working up a good sweat is essential to your physical well-being. In fact, the benefits of perspiration date back thousands of years when the soothing wonders of sweat bathing offered the best way to relieve stress, stimulate and improve circulation and help the body purge itself of impurities. The ancient Romans practiced steam bathing regularly to enhance their complexion, while the Finns popularized sauna use in an old religious ceremony to promote mental, spiritual and physical healing. Even in modern times, health-conscious men and women everywhere still associate sweat-inducing activities with health and wellness.
Daily sweating does increase blood circulation which releases built-up toxins and waste while providing purifying benefits. And just like jogging, cycling and other forms of aerobic exercise cause the heart to pump harder and faster, allowing you to build up a sweat, HealSpa’s Lower Body Thermal Therapy utilizes infrared energy to achieve the same conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Infrared rays penetrate 1 ˝” into the skin through a process of conversion where heat is transferred directly to the body without having to first heat the air. This produces 2 to 3 times more sweat than other saunas, increasing heart rate and pumping more blood through the dilated blood vessels to achieve a cardiovascular training effect that is both comfortable and safe.
In addition to essential cardiac conditioning, the deep heat of HealSpa induces intense sweat that helps rid your body of toxins and wastes, thereby strengthening your body’s immune system. With regular heat therapy sessions the stiffness and pain associated with certain joint and muscle conditions diminishes dramatically while the profuse sweating achieved in the HealSpa carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells for improved tone, texture, elasticity and color.
So whether your goal is to lose weight, alleviate the pain of a sports injury, build-up your immune system or simply relieve the tensions of the day, HealSpa paves the way towards healing and healthy living.
