Fight off Fevers, Colds, Influenza, and many other common diseases. Most illnesses are accompanied by a fever. During a fever, the body heats up to eliminate viruses and attack foreign agents. When taking a sauna , skin temperature rises to 40°C (104°F) and internal body temperature rises to about 38°C (100.4°F). Exposure to the high heat creates an artificial fever state, a process known as hyperthermia. Fever is part of the body’s natural healing process. Fever stimulates the immune system, resulting in increased production of disease fighting white blood cells, antibodies and interferon (an anti viral protein with cancer fighting capability). Recent studies also show that colds and flu-like illnesses are reduced dramatically if treated in the early stages with infrared heat therapy. Infrared heat also kills all kinds of bacteria and insects such as lice.
