Have a wonderful weekend see a friend....

Coronary Artery Disease, Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension
Finnish researchers, talking about the regular use of conventional saunas state that there are abundant evidences to suggest that blood vessels of regular sauna-goers remain elastic and pliable longer due to the regular dilation and contraction of blood vessels induced by sauna use. German medical researchers reported in "Dermatol Monatsschr" in 1989 that a single whole-body session of infrared-induced hyperthermia lasting over one hour had only beneficial effects on subjects with stage I-II essential hypertension. Each subject experienced a rise in core body temperature to a maximum level of 38.5°C (101.3°F). All of the subjects in one experiment had significant decrease in arterial, venous and mean blood pressure that lasted for at least 24 hours and was linked, according to the researchers, to a persistent peripheral dilation effect. An improvement in plasma viscosity was also noted. Another group of similar hypertension patients was also studied under the same conditions of infrared-induced hyperthermia, with an eye toward more carefully evaluating the circulatory system effects induced by this type of whole-body heating. During each infrared session, there was a significant decrease of blood pressure, cardiac ejection resistance, and total peripheral resistance in every subject. There was also a significant increase during each session of the subjects' heart rates, stroke volumes, cardiac outputs and ejection fractions. The researchers cite these last three effects as evidences that the stimulation of the heart during infrared-induced hyperthermia is well compensated, while the prior list of effects clearly show the microcirculatory changes that lead to the desired result of a lowering of blood pressure.

Have a wonderful weekend everybody....

Japanese researchers, as reported in the book Infrared Therapy by Dr. Yamajaki, have produced the following provocative results.
Burns:

*relieves pain and decreases healing time, with less scarring
High Blood Pressure: safe in 40 ~ 50°C range and regular use helps to lower it
*Low Blood Pressure: sauna trains body to raise it
*Brain Damage: accelerated repair in brain contusions
*Short-term memory improved
*Cancer of the tongue reversed
*Toxic Electromagnetic Fields: effects neutralized
*Cerebral Hemorrhages: recovery is both sped up and significantly enhanced
*Auto Accident: related soft tissue injury - daily sessions were used until best healing was attained; then Infrared systems were used to deal with permanent residuals. The pain control effect on the chronic residuals from such injuries lasted three days before another treatment was necessary.
*Arthritis, acute and chronic: was greatly relieved
*Gouty Arthritis: relieved
*Rheumatoid Arthritis: relieved
*Menopause Symptoms: relieved chills, nervousness, depression, dizziness, head & stomach aches
*Weight Loss: first, through sweating and the energy use needed to produce the sweat and second, through direct excretion of fat

Researchers reported over 90% success in a summary of Chinese studies that assessed the effect of infrared therapy on:

Soft tissue injury
Lumbar strain
Periarthritis of the shoulder
Sciatica
Pain during Menstruation
Neurodermatitis
Eczema with infection
Post-surgical infections
Diarrhea
Cholecystitis
Pelvic infection
Pediatric Pneumonia
Tineas
Frostbite with inflammation
Facial paralysis (Bell's Palsy

Infrared Sauna Therapy assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrates, edema and exudates.

The increased peripheral circulation provides the transportation needed to help evacuate the edema, which can help stop inflammation, decrease pain and help

Infrared Sauna Therapy produces pain relief.

Pain may be relieved via the reduction of attendant or secondary muscle spasms. Pain is also at times related to ischemia due to tension or spasm, which can be improved by the hyperemia that heat-induced vasodilatation produces. This then breaks the feedback loop, in which the ischemia leads to further spasm and then more pain.

Heat has been shown to reduce pain sensation by direct action on both free-nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves. In one dental study, repeated heat applications eventually led to abolishment of the whole nerve response responsible for pain arising from dental pulp.

Heat may lead to both increased endorphin production and a shutting down of the so-called "spinal gate" of Melzack and Wall, each of which can reduce pain.
