Many of us are aware that stress is a major component of illness. When we get run-down or exhausted, we become more susceptible to disease, (plus, it just isn’t any fun!).
Stress is also a primary reason why our bodies can’t heal themselves. Economic uncertainty, politics, trauma from old injuries, overwork, family dynamics and less-than-healthy lifestyles all contribute to fatigue and other conditions in the body.
In addition, many conditions such as: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, headaches, memory loss, brain “fog”, digestive problems, inability to lose (or gain) weight, low body temperature, cold hands & feet, allergies & skin rashes (including eczema & psoriasis), night sweats, a metallic taste in the mouth, muscle & joint pain, insomnia and dark circles under the eyes are symptoms of chemical and/or heavy metal toxicity.
So, we know this, but what can we really do about it? Detoxifying our bodies helps our immune systems counteract the negative effects of toxins that are present in our food, water and air supplies. But, we don’t all necessarily have the time (or the resources!) to spend a whole week at a spa to allow our bodies to “reset” and function better.
At the Structural Energetic Therapy® Center in Riverview, we have recently added a Far-Infrared Sauna, which works to stimulate the body’s natural detoxification methods by increasing the body’s temperature and dilating the blood vessels. Circulation is increased, toxins and endorphins are released, and you even burn 300-600 calories in a 30-minute session! Far-infrared technology has the ability to mobilize more toxins (in a safer manner) than is possible in sweat resulting from just heat or activity. No other technology for detoxifying can address both lipophiliic (fat-stored) toxins and toxins already in the bloodstream. The far-infrared sauna also helps the body to release mercury and other heavy metals, which have been cited as one of the causes of autism in children.
In the words of renowned author Dr. Sherry Rogers, M.D.:
"FIR sauna technology is the only proven and most efficacious way of getting rid of stored environmental chemicals. I'm convinced that the far infrared sauna is something everyone should do to restore health"

Unlike steam saunas, there’s no difficulty in breathing in a far-infrared sauna, and music is available for meditation. Or, if you prefer, you can read while your body gets healthier! You will end each session feeling warm, relaxed and rejuvenated. The sauna time can either be added to the end of your massage session (for maximum benefit), or used alone. The choice is up to you!
You can experience the benefits of a far-infrared sauna for only $25 per 30-minute session. Call us for an appointment today!
