Burn The Calories, Baby!
Sauna Detoxification: Most recovery programs do not include physical means for removing toxins such as drugs, alcohol, nicotine, chemicals or radiation from the body. As a result these programs have a very low success rate (high relapse rates). Most people think that if they haven't used or been exposed to these toxins in a while then it means that they are "clean". Nothing could be further from the truth. Toxins stay in the body's fat cells for years. This is true of all toxins whether from cigarettes, alcohol, drugs such as crack, meth, heroin, pharmaceuticals, or industrial chemicals such as dioxin or radiation.
Everyone today is exposed to heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Particularly for slow metabolizers, a very good method to detoxify the body is the far-infrared sauna. Its dry, warming energy is highly compatible with the human body. It heats the tissues several inches deep, enhancing metabolic processes. One can construct an excellent home sauna for under $85.00!

Burn The Calories, Baby! Producing one gram of sweat requires 0.586 kcal. A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 grams in a sauna, consuming nearly 300 kcal - the equivalent of running 2-3 miles!
A heat-conditioned person can easily sweat off 600-800 kcal with no adverse effects. While the weight of the water loss can be regained by dehydration with water, the calories consumed will not be. " Since an LuxSauna Therapeutic System helps generate two to three times the sweat produced in a hot-air sauna, the implications for increased caloric consumption are quite impressive. Assuming "a Sauna," as mentioned in JAMA, to last for 30 minutes, some interesting comparisons may be drawn. Two of the highest calorie output forms of exercise are rowing and marathon running. Peak output on a rowing machine or during a marathon run burns about 600 calories in 30 minutes.
Heating and Cooling the Inner Body Marvelous things happen beneath the skin in the heat of the sweat bath. The capillaries dilate permitting increased flow of blood to the skin in an attempt to draw heat from the surface and disperse it inside the body. The bather's skin becomes cherry red. The heart is pressed into a faster pace to keep up with the additional demands for blood. Impurities in the liver, kidneys, stomach, muscles, brain, and most other organs are flushed out by the faster flow of juices. The skin and kidneys filter the wastes, excreting them in sweat and urine.
