DETOXIFICATION - Infrared Sauna
Dr. Lederman has vast experience using infrared sauna therapy, having incorporated over 30,000 infrared sauna treatments with his patients. The clinic has a private infrared sauna room with a shower. This is available 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday.
Let the infrared sauna cleanse and detoxify your body from the inside-out , while you comfortably relax and enjoy the natural heat therapy. For thousands of years cultures around the world have recognized the therapeutic value of heating the body for better health, healing, and improved vitality.
Infrared sauna therapy delivers a gentle, penetrating heat which causes a comfortable increase in body temperature, metabolism, and sweating.
The clinic uses the Radiant Health Carbon Flow Elite Series sauna. This represents the best infrared sauna technology available today. The wall-to-wall CarbonFlow heating panels create a wonderfully comfortable and effective even heat in the desired infrared wavelenth of 8.4 to 9.4 micron range, the same natural wavelenth of heat that the human body produces.
What is Infrared Heat?
For over 30 years, extensive research by scientists world-wide, including NASA, has shown significant health benefits with the use of infrared sauna therapy.
Infrared heat, also known as radiant heat, is a natural, safe energy that heats objects directly without having to heat the air in between. The infrared segment of the energy spectrum occurs just below or "infra" to red light. This band of light is therefore not visible to human eyes but can be seen with special cameras. We can, however, feel this type of energy, which we perceive as a gentle heat. For example, infrared heaters are used by hospitals to warm premature infants.

- Pain Relief
- Stress Reduction

- Clear Cellulite
- Enhance Athletic Performance
- Improve Circulation
In the infrared saunas, your heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate increase to improve your overall cardiovascular fitness. You can burn 600 or more calories in just one 30 minute session. One can receive the "training effect" while reading and relaxing in the infrared sauna. NASA concluded infrared "passive exercise" was the ideal way to keep astronauts fit during space flight.
Infrared sauna reduces the detoxification required via the liver and kidneys by the direct elimination of toxins through the skin. Two to three times more sweat is produced in the infrared sauna than is typical in conventional hot air saunas. Greater removal of toxins such as acid waste, fat-soluble toxic residue, pesticides, and heavy metals is achieved, including: lead, mercury, aluminum, and cadmium.
The infrared sauna's deep heat helps blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. It is also helpful for people with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain conditions.
Infrared sauna therapy is remarkably relaxing, helping people to relieve stress and feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
This radiant therapy may shorten your recovery time from cold and flu viruses and improve the immune response. It is reported to stimulate the immune system, the body's own natural healing process.
The profuse sweating achieved in infrared saunas carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and immaculately clean. Skin tone and elasticity are improved. It has been shown to relieve acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
Infrared sauna treatments help clear cellulite, the gel-like lumps of fat, water and debris trapped in pockets beneath the skin. European beauty specialists routinely incorporate daily saunas in programs to reduce cellulite.
Muscles relax most readily when tissues are warm giving greater flexibility and range of motion. Top athletes are using infrared sauna to warm their muscles before and after working out to prevent injuries and promote relaxation.
As circulation is fundamental for health and healing, infrared sauna therapy benefits those with diabetes, rheumatism, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic disease states.
How Does It Compare to a Conventional Sauna?
Many people find the high temperatures inside a conventional sauna or steam room very uncomfortable. In traditional systems, the inside of the body is heated completely from the surface of the skin using very high heat (typically 180° to 235°F. Infrared saunas heat the body gently using the penetrating radiant heat that operates at a significantly cooler and more comfortable air temperature range of 110° to 130°F.
Comment from Dr. Lederman:
"In my opinion, after years of clinical experience with Far Infrared Saunas, I believe it is clearly one of the best preventative and restorative health treatments available."
