As some of you know I have wanted to purchase a sauna for use in our office. I was at a conference last month and found the perfect one. I am beyond excited! I have wanted a far infrared sauna for about 10 years. Far infrared is a wavelength of light that the body perceives as heat. It is more penetrating than the heat from a regular sauna and has the ability to detoxify on a deep level. The sauna is maintained at a relatively comfortable temperature of 130 degrees F for a maximum of 30 minutes. Of course we start at a lower temperature and time and work our way up to the maximum.
Far infrared sauna is useful for:
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Frequent headaches or migraines
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Bad breath, digestive problems, bloating, gas, indigestion , constipation
• Sensitivities to many chemicals including cleaning products, petrol, paint, perfumes, bleaches, etc.
• Achy muscles and joints
• Skin problems such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, general rashes, itchy skin
• Insomnia
• Weight loss
• Fatigue
I’ve been the guinea pig for the last few weeks and I’m pleased to say that since using the sauna I have more energy, an even better mood, and better sleep. Keep in mind I don’t tolerate heat well at all. I hibernate during the Washington DC summers. Far infrared heat feels like the first day of summer before the humidity hits. It’s very pleasant and I actually look forward to it.
I’m currently putting together a detoxification program and will be ready to offer this program to all our patients. Stay tuned for more!

In the middle of the winter perhaps a relaxing sauna is just what the doctor orders.
