Infrared Saunas and Cell Health [2021 Guide]

Infrared therapy stimulates the body’s circulatory system which causes the heart to beat faster and cause the body’s blood vessels to vasodilate (expand). This helps clean the circulatory system (arteries, blood vessels and venules) and send more oxygenated blood to the body’s cells.

Better circulation allows for more toxins to flow from adipose cells to the surface of the skin to improve cellular health, assist in muscle recovery and boost the immune system.

In a recent study done by NASA called “NASA Light Emitting Diode (LED) Medical Program – Progress in Space Flight and Terrestrial Applications”, it was found that near infrared light “absorbed by the cells stimulated the metabolism in muscle and bone as well as skin and subcutaneous tissue.” Which promotes faster wound healing and human tissue growth.

What people have been experiencing in infrared saunas for years has now been proven by NASA in the laboratory.

Near infrared light “stimulates the basic energy processes in the mitochondria (energy compartments) of each cell, particularly when near-infrared light is used to activate the color sensitive chemicals (chromophores, cytochrome systems) inside.”
