Experience a deep sense of calm and a gentle detox effect by spending 55 min in our Sauna Blanket

The importance of cleansing your body of toxic debris cannot be overstated. Toxins are produced during normal metabolism and cell function, as well as absorbed from pollutants in our air, water, and food. Toxins can be implicated in everything from premature aging and wrinkling of the skin to DNA damage, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and more. Detox and anti-aging therapies provided at Lussuriaskin  can be effective for anyone concerned about their health or just looking and feeling younger.

Soothes sore muscles and jointsInfrared waves penetrate the body to create heat that results in immediate therapeutic benefits through increased blood flow and tissue oxygenation that provides more energy to heal. The study in (2008) found that chronic pain patients experienced a significant reduction in pain levels (nearly 70%) after the first session of infrared therapy. Pain experience also decreased significantly and remained low throughout the observation period.

• Heat is well-documented as a therapy for many kinds of pain. Because infrared heat can soothe agitated nerve endings, ease and manage pain caused by a multitude of conditions and injuries.
• Infrared also increases circulation dramatically, from 5-7 quarts per minute, to as much as 13 quarts per minute. This increase in nutrient and oxygen rich blood flow can help heal the body and relieve pain

Is there anyone who shouldn't sweat?
Pregnant women cannot sweat (although its safe after the baby is born!). If you have a chronic condition that makes you sensitive to temperature, we recommend checking with your doctor before booking a session. We recommend checking with your doctor if you have recently had an injury and/or undergone surgery. If you have hemophilia we do not recommend sweating. If you are on any medications please check with your doctor (especially if you are on blood thinners). If you have been advised to stay away from heat or have any concerns regarding medical conditions, please talk to your doctor. Please remember we are not medical professionals.

What are the benefits?
There are numerous benefits associated with regular infrared sauna sessions. To name a few it helps strengthen immunity, weight loss, stress relief, and skin appearance.

How many calories can I burn?
Far Infrared Saunas are a healthy weight loss solution without exercising. Infrared Saunas burn 400-600 calories in just one 30-minute session. In a Far Infrared Sauna, a moderately fit person can sweat one pound of sweat in a 30-minute session; the equivalent of running 2-3 miles.

How do you burn calories while sweating?
Infrared saunas have been proven to aid in weight loss by heating your core temperature to induce sweating. Increases in blood flow and heart rate are a result, which, much like moderate exercise, has shown to help you lose weight. Saunas also help you lose weight by easing aches and pains associated with weight training, helping you get back into the gym the next day.

What is the difference in steam sauna and infrared sauna?
A traditional sauna uses wet or dry heat to warm the air around you, which induces sweating. This can aid in weight loss, but it has shown that the weight loss is mainly due to loss of water – or heavy sweating. An infrared sauna heats your body from the inside out, which allows you to stay in the sauna longer and increases your heart rate. Infrared sauna use results in more calories burned in a shorter period of time. Furthermore, Solocarbon infrared heat allows for most of the far infrared wavelength to be near 9.4 microns, which is the level at which the human body absorbs infrared energy.  This is also the frequency at which a water molecule resonates or vibrates. This vibration causes a release of cellular toxins.  This optimal micron output also allows for deeper penetration of far infrared heat, which improves weight loss efforts.

Will I be losing water weight?
Yes, and this will be regained upon hydration. But the calories you burned are real!

How often should I sweat?
This is different for each individual! We recommend 1-3 sessions per week.

How long will it take for my core temperature to cool down to normal?
It could take up to an hour. This is normal and is part of your body returning to its regular body temperature (one plus is you are still burning calories after you sweat while this cool down is taking place).

What do I wear?
During your sweat we recommend that less is more. Feel free to sweat in your birthday suit if you are comfortable with that. Otherwise we recommend a swim suit, or bra and underwear. Please make sure that the clothing is free of plastic or any metal- ie bras with underwire or swim suits with metal eyelets.

What should I do before?

Please make sure that you are hydrated and have eaten a little something. We advise against sweating on an empty stomach, but also not arriving immediately after a heavy meal.

Why do I need to hydrate?
Drinking plenty of water is a top priority. We want you to feel your best. Our bodies need plenty of water to function optimally. When you sweat at The Sweat House, your body uses water to flush out toxins and other waste, the more water you have to use, the more productive your sweat session will be. It is also important to replenish the water your sweat out!
