At Cedar Springs we recommend using the infrared sauna several times during each cleansing week. The sessions usually take an hour with a 20-30 minute warm-up, 15 minutes of perspiring, followed by a cold shower and then another 10-20 minute session in the sauna.

The infrared rays penetrate the body over 1.5 inches, which creates a deep heating effect in the muscle tissues and internal organs without stressing the heart muscle.

After an initial warming up period, the body begins its natural cooling off process of perspiring. Three things are accomplished during this phase:

1. Waste products and toxins such as alcohol, nicotine and heavy metals are removed from the cells and excreted through the pores of the skin.



2. The skin sheds any old skin cells leaving it glowing and immaculately clean.



3. As the body expends energy to produce sweat, the heart beats harder and faster, which has a conditioning effect on the cardiovascular system plus is an effective weight control for people who can't exercise.

The infrared sauna is an hour well spent supporting the natural detoxification systems of the body and relaxing deeply into a comfortable heat.
