Detox Treatment

Significantly increases the detoxification process - because the body is heated from inside by the infrared heat, causing toxins to be forced out.  A 20-30 minute session creates approximately the same amount of perspiration as a six-mile run.  As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder to boost circulation, thus improving your cardiovascular system.  Increased circulation has been shown to relieve acne.

• Burns around 600 calories in a single 30 minute session due to accelerated metabolism. 
• Accelerates the breakdown of cellulite/fat. Fat becomes water-soluble at a temperature of 100 F° before it begins to dissolve and enter the bloodstream to be removed from the body.  Weight loss is achieved in a single sauna session 200-600 calories can be burned, as many as rowing for 30 minutes or running several miles.
• Boosts the immune system.  As the body temperature raises, the immune system kicks in to fight the "artificial fever" created by the penetrating FIR heat.  This heat also helps to detoxify your body by removing the accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals and chemicals.
• Energises the body and relaxes the mind, reducing physiological and emotional stress, by releasing endorphins.
• Improves skin condition and deep cleanses the pores.
