Alleviate pain from Back Problems, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis and Joint Pain, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Day to Day Pains. Far infrared saunas have been very beneficial in the treatment of Fibromyalgia (FMS, FM) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFIDS, CFS) and other pains that are associated with joints, muscles and bones. A number of doctors believe that the "toxic load" of these patients far exceeds those of a healthy patient and that for reasons still being understood, these patients have trouble releasing these toxins in the detoxification process. When one is able to reduce the toxins and heavy metals in sufferers of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, their symptoms often greatly improve. A number of people are also suffering unknowingly from mercury poisoning or from other heavy metals such as lead and aluminum. The infrared sauna has been invaluable in accelerating the removal of these toxic metals. By raising the core temperature and creating a 'hyperthermia' effect, the infrared sauna also improves a number of parameters in the immune system used to fight pain. Arthritis pains are another ailment that can be greatly improved through the use of far infrared sauna bathing. The deep heat of the infrared sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. In Europe, radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering form many forms of arthritis. It has been proven effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other musculoskeletal ailments. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles so they recover faster. Muscles relax most readily when tissues are warm, promoting greater flexibility and range of motion. Much of the stiffness, aches and soreness that come with aging is reduced or eliminated.
