Infrared Body Wrap

When using an infrared body wrap, it is important to understand how an infrared body works. Infrared is a radiant heat and infrared waves are light waves that are invisible. Because the heat produced by the infrared body wrap is radiant, it is more tolerable to you than the heat produced by forced air heat or even steam saunas.

Our bodies absorb infrared heat which means it is heating your body up from the inside out. It is said that infrared heat can penetrate up to two inches. Because the infrared waves are absorbed this deep into the muscular and even skeletal systems, this form of heat can help to force waste and impurities in our bodies out through our largest organ; the skin.

When the infrared waves from the infrared body wrap are absorbed, the molecules in our body start to vibrate and causes them to begin to expel and get rid of impurities, toxins and even fat from those cells through our skin and also into our blood streams; allowing our bodies to ‘cleanse’ itself. These toxins and impurities will then be released as sweat.

As your body is gently warmed from the infrared body wrap’s heat, you will not only begin to sweat, but the results of this process provides the body a tremendous detoxifying effect on a more cellular level.

It has been found that the health benefits of an infrared body wrap are many. Because infrared raises your body temperature, it is creating a ‘fever like’ state and your immune system can work more effectively by this stimulation to be able fight bacteria and viruses that may be present in your system.

Remember that infrared penetrates the body up to two inches, which in turn enables our body rid itself of a higher percentage of toxins. In fact, studies have shown that with traditional sweating through exercise that the sweat only contains approximately 3 – 5% of toxins, while sweat attained with infrared has contained up to 20% of toxins and impurities. Now, of course, everyone is different and some people sweat more than others and are even more toxic, but those seeking to detoxify using infrared heat body wrap find the benefits of how they feel quite remarkable.

Infrared heat is delivered to Earth in about 8% of the sun’s rays and is easily processed by our bodies and, in fact, is so gentle that premature babies are kept warm in hospitals. From body detoxification to helping with muscle aches and pains and even weight loss, the benefits of an infrared body wrap are many.
