Have you ever used a far-infrared sauna? They provide a way to remove toxins from the body through sweat from your pores. Plus the heat feels good on aging bones. ;-) Look for infrared saunas at your local wellness center, massage therapist, gym, or spa.Far-infrared saunas produce high energy, through light, as opposed to high heat and steam like a traditional sauna. Infrared saunas operate at a lower temperature and produce a dry heat.
Toxins build up in your body from a variety of sources including food, cleaning and personal care items, and your environment. You are exposed to hundreds of toxic chemicals every day.
An overabundance of toxins stored in the body can have many adverse effects on your health. Toxins can cause damage to DNA , the nervous system and brain, increase your risk of dementia, disrupt the endocrine system, and cause obesity. Thankfully toxins can be excreted in sweat.

Consider putting an infrared sauna in your home. They don’t take up much space and you’ll be more likely to use it 3-4 days a week if it’s convenient. Make sure you purchase one with low EMF, electromagnetic field, emissions.
EMF will negate any benefits you may receive from the sauna and expose you to other health risks. Do research before using or purchasing a sauna to make sure it has a low EMF rating.
