MIW offers patients use of a state of the art, far infrared sauna. Built of Aspen wood, which does not off-gas and is hypoallergenic, the bright and roomy three-person sauna is one of the most powerful healing tools available. Virtually every patient can benefit from far infrared sauna, as it enhances almost all bodily functions and provides an effortless way to detoxify, increase metabolism and relax the body, all at the same time.

The far-infrared sauna's dry and warming energy is highly compatible with the human body and heats the tissues up to several inches deep, which enhances metabolic processes. Your body receives many health benefits. Increased sweat production exercises the heart, increases circulation and helps oxygenate the tissues, improving cardivoscular function and detoxifying your body of heavy metals and other chemical toxins. The far infrared rays even assist in pain relief.

Hyperthermia, or fever therapy, has been commonly used in Europe and Asia for decades to effectively fight infections and even cancer. Viruses and toxin-burdened cells and tumors are weaker than normal cells and tolerate heat poorly. Our bodies naturally develop fever when we are ill in order to enhance metabolism and help destroy viruses. Similarly, the deep heating of the tissues which takes place in a sauna helps the body heal from infections more quickly.

Far-infrared energy provides deep heating to the body while the surrounding air remains cool, so breathing in the sauna is not at all difficult. Sweating usually begins quickly and most far-infrared sauna users consider the experience to be quite pleasant and relaxing.

Everyone today is exposed to environmental toxins and heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium, and sweat is a most important elimination route for these toxins. Research shows that far infrared sauna can remove toxic chemicals and metals from the body faster than with any other method. According to extensive research, the far-infrared sauna is more cleansing than traditional saunas as the deeper-penetrating infrared energy allows for better elimination of toxins from the cells.
