Detoxification
Infrared Sauna - Great for detoxification and weight loss
The longest and most healing rays of the sun, the Far Infrared (FIR) Spectrum is a form of radiant heat that can be felt on the skin but is invisible to the naked eye. It penetrates human tissue by 1 to 1.5 inches.
There is evidence that FIR may be as effective a means of cardiovascular training as exercise. Moreover, FIR saunas generate two to three times the sweat produced in a conventional sauna, allowing people to burn 300-600 calories per thirty minute session.
When you sweat during FIR, you may be thinking the about calories you're burning but your body will be ridding itself of all sorts of toxins stored in your subcutaneous fat, including heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium and lead as well as plasticizers, pesticides and dioxins.
Dr. Adams summarizes a report which concludes that sweat from a traditional sauna was up to 97% water, while the sweat released in an infrared sauna was only 80 – 85% water. The remaining 15 – 20% was comprised of heavy metals, sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia, uric acid and fat-soluble toxins (1).
Benefits of FIR include reduced pain, faster healing, decreased stiffness, enhanced immune function, increased circulation, the elimination of lactic acid and detoxification.
Detoxification Wraps
Thalasso or seaweed/mud wrap: Seaweed contains essential minerals including iron, copper, zinc, manganese, strontium, molybdenum, and boron, in concentrations up to 100 thousand times denser than seawater itself. A concentration of seawater and seaweed is designed to hydrate, cleanse, and firm the skin. Seaweed/mud wraps ease the pain of strains, sprains, and arthritis as they detoxify the body, improve circulation, enhance the metabolism, and smooth, firm, and improve skin tone and circulation. The kelp stimulates the metabolic system and the nutrient-rich algae serve to both hydrate and detoxify the body. .
Ultimate Detoxification: Your old skin cells will be removed with a coffee/salt/sugar scrub, which stimulates circulation while activating lymphatic system. The caffeine and EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) in coffee helps neutralize free radical damage to the skin. Coffee helps to decrease the formation of cellulite and also acts as a vasorestrictor, tightening the skin.
After the coffee/salt/sugar scrub, a quick hot shower will rinse off the residue and also encourage quick perspiration in the next phase, the infrared sauna. You will relax int the infrared sauna for 20 to 30 minutes, after which you will lay on the massage table, and a detoxifying Seaweed/Mud will be put on your entire body. While the Seaweed/Mud draws out more impurities, your feet and neck will be massaged.
Following the wrap you will take a shower and a firming lotion will be massaged into your skin. The following full body massage will carry away any remaining stress. After the treatment you can relax some more while sipping a detoxifying tea.
