Judy Keller, a certified massage therapist at Merle Norman is proud to introduce a new technique for health and relaxation. The sauna blanket detox therapy has received great reviews by her clients who have already experienced the complete benefits. A certified massage therapist for 16 years Judy's other treatments include foot reflexology, hot stone massage and airbrush tanning.
According to Judy the primary benefits of this technique are:
Enhance Immune System Health
Each Far Infrared Sauna session causes a brief, beneficial increase in a body temperature, which improves immune system health by boosting production of infection-fighting white blood cells by your bone marrow and killer T-cells by your thymus.
Improves Cardiovascular Health
Medical research shows that regular use of a Far Infrared Sauna may be as effective for cardiovascular conditioning as exercise. As the body heats up, it cools itself by sending blood from internal organs to the extremities and the skin, thus increasing heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.
Stress Relief
High daily stress levels put constant strain on the body's nervous system and can contribute to chronic disease. The Far Infrared Sauna helps to reduce physical stress by boosting circulation and triggering the production of endorphins, the "feel good" hormones.
Weight Loss & Cellulite Control
Toxins can play a significant role in preventing us from losing weight as well as gaining weight. The body will even create fat to store chemical toxins when they exceed the body's ability to store them. Those wishing to lose weight should also note that the cardiovascular effect from a single sauna session burns as many as 600 calories.
Pain Relief
By dilating blood vessels, infrared heat increases blood circulation to injured areas, speeding up the healing process and relieving pain. Infrared heat has also been used extensively in the treatment of arthritis, rheumatism, and muscle spasms.
Beautifies the Skin
Profuse perspiration deeply cleanses the skin, creating beautiful and improved tone, texture, and color.
