Infrared sauna is a modern form of sauna that uses a strip of light to penetrate deep into the skin, heating the body, causing the body to sweat, helping to improve blood circulation and promote cell regeneration. new shavings, whereas with a regular sauna the heat will only affect the surface. Infrared rays are most used in hospitals and beauty salons.

It also helps overweight and obese people lose weight because it helps burn excess calories.
In particular: infrared has the most important & optimal function of detoxifying the body, eliminating toxins and heavy metals in the body. Toxins that accumulate for a long time in cells are one of the leading causes of modern diseases such as gout, cancer, cardiovascular disease, depression…
Different from traditional sauna: although at low temperature, it still accelerates the sweating process, traditional sauna eliminates 3% of toxins – 97% of water, infrared sauna eliminates 20% of toxins – 80% water. Infrared rays penetrate deep inside and clean out toxins in the blood vessels, creating a healthy body.
Uses of negative ions: Negative ions act as an antioxidant. According to many medical studies, negative ions are beneficial for health and positive ions are harmful to health. When the body accumulates many negative ions, it will neutralize harmful positive ions (free radicals), making them no longer able to cause disease in the body, and has the effect of anti-oxidizing cells and rejuvenating the skin. Negative ions are abundant in rivers, streams, waterfalls and primary forests. Positive ions are abundant in dusty environments, electronic devices, etc. Therefore, the body is always in a state of negative ion deficiency, and needs to be supplemented promptly to maintain the body’s normal activities.
In nature, such as deep forests, beaches, and near waterfalls, the concentration of negative ions in the air is quite high, 20-50 times higher than in parks in cities, and in factories and laboratories. At home and at work, the negative ion concentration in the air is quite low, only about 1/10 of the negative ion concentration in the atmosphere in parks. In air-conditioned rooms, using computers and electronic devices, the concentration of negative ions in the air is much lower, even close to zero. Living and working in this environment for a long time will make you feel short of breath, mentally insecure, and easily cause illness.
Why are negative ions in the air beneficial to health? Negative ions enter the lungs through the respiratory tract and can penetrate the alveoli. Due to blood circulation, negative ions will reach all organizations and organs, through the interaction between body fluids and the reflex nervous system, thus having a synergistic effect on physiological functions. protect health.
Negative ions also have the effect of balancing the pH in the body: the body is healthiest when the pH is 7.4 (low alkalinity, many negative ions). But in modern life, the living environment as well as the food people choose are mostly acidic, causing the body to become increasingly negative. Under the effect of negative ions, the body’s pH level is adjusted to a level optimally, maintaining a healthy body.
In addition, negative ions also have outstanding properties such as purifying the air, restoring the body, regenerating cells, neutralizing acids, helping bones or cartilage become strong, and preventing osteoporosis. Finally, it regulates the nervous and endocrine systems, enhances the body’s resistance, and provides full vitality to help the face become brighter, more beautiful and fresher.
Negative ions and cancer
The cause of cancer is due to damaged DNA molecular chains leading to mutations in essential genes that regulate the cell division process, important mechanisms. Cancer cells form and function to produce a large amount of lactic acid that oxidizes the blood solution, causing the circulation process to stagnate due to lack of oxygen.
Negative ions limit, neutralize acidity in the blood, increase oxygen supply, and Globulin helps the self-repair mechanism improve naturally. DNA molecules are improved and functional activities are restored.

Hot water causes pores to expand, while cold water conversely causes pores to shrink. As a result, dirt will escape from the pores on the skin.
Hot and cold contrasting baths play a great role in regulating the nervous system. This therapy helps improve blood circulation between organs and tissues in the body, helping to enhance the body’s metabolism. In addition, it also helps the body eliminate impurities in the body. The temperature difference helps the body to be tempered.
