Doctors recommend sunlight sauna
Dr. Rachel West is an Osteopath and Family Practice Physician with offices in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, California. She is really happy with the results that sunlight saunas have on her clients.
Dr. West’s practice integrates conventional medicine with alternative therapies, such as homeopathy, cranial-sacral work, lyengear yoga and biodynamic osteopathic manipulation.
As a family practitioner, Dr. West specialises in chonic disease, chronic pain states, women’s health and childhood autism.
“In today’s world where we are all exposed to toxins in the air and water, as well as through medications, vaccines and dental work, it is vital to integrate a detoxification regiment into one’s daily life,” says West.
“Whereas chelation therapy can be very expensive, difficult to administer and cause negative side effects, Sunlight Saunas are a non-toxic, no side-effect way of ridding the body of harmful pollutants, especially heavy metals.
“Detoxification is important because it strengthens the body’s immune system and helps the body’s biochemical processes function efficiently so that we are better able to digest the nutrients in our foods,” she adds.
“Detoxification has also been proven to be helpful with cholitis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, auto-immune disease, immune deficiency states, autism, ADD and ADHD.
“Sunlight Saunas ® are different than regular saunas because the Far-infrared light waves penetrate facial and muscular tissue, helping to rid the body of toxins that are stored in deeper layers than the simple sweat glands that are activated in a conventional sauna.
“In addition, the cardiovascular cleansing properties of the Sunlight Saunas ® allow the circulatory system to have increased circulation and oxygenation while lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.”
Infrared saunas are often used as doctor-recommended therapeutic treatments for physical ailments. Sufferers of such respiratory conditions as asthma and bronchitis have found the beneficial dry heat of saunas to provide a measure of relief, helping them achieve more regular breathing patterns. People with chronic pains brought about by arthritis, joint stiffness, muscle spasms, or injured backs have reported less soreness and increased mobility with regular sauna sessions.
