Many of the documented health benefits realized through Far Infrared sauna therapy is through the detoxification process at the cellular level. It is the build up of many of today’s pollutants and toxins that are causing so many problems in our body’s internal systems. In fact, “…your cells actually contain over 400 new toxins today that didn't even exist 45 years ago and we are losing the battle…” (Dr. Steve Nugent, 2003.) Therefore, it is becoming increasingly vital for us to find additional resources to purge these toxins and rid them of our bodies.

Far infrared energy has been proven to be a key contributor in naturally excreting many of the damaging toxins stored in our cells. Since humans are bio-accumulators, numerous toxins that cannot be removed immediately after entry, are stored in our bodies, particularly in our fat cells. When toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide or toxic substances such as lead, mercury or chlorine enter our systems, they are absorbed by large water molecules with-in our cells. Where these toxins are accumulated, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. However, when a 10 micron far infrared wave is applied to these large water molecules, the water begins to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms which are holding together the molecules of water. As the breakdown of the water molecules occurs, encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released. Scientists in Japan report that in the far infrared wave treatment of clogged capillary vessels, a similar process occurs: heat expands the capillaries and then initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins.
