The warmer summer weather is a wonderful time for many, but if you are unfortunate enough to suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, you are probably dreading the thought of wearing tank tops, short sleeves and sundresses. The good news is that a JNH Lifestyles home infrared sauna can relieve many sufferers from the itchy, painful and more often than not, embarrassing side effects of these skin conditions.

What’s A Home Infrared Sauna?

An infrared home sauna is a safe and natural way to reduce the symptoms of many medical conditions. The strong, effective and warming heat of a home infrared sauna can significantly improve the appearance of skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.

The best infrared sauna offers relaxing spa sessions at home with its radiating heat. The heat warms up the body directly, going through the body’s tissue up to two inches deep and slowly raising the body’s core temperature in order to stimulate sweat glands and open blood vessels to encourage blood circulation, which helps to promote the following health benefits:

• Lowers stress levels, a huge cause for psoriasis and eczema
• Brings out bacteria, deep impurities and dead skin cells toward the skin’s surface, so the body can expel them through sweat
• Enhances the immune system, supports healing and copes with flare-ups
• Brings out the skin’s own natural nutrients towards the surface to reinvigorate the skin, producing better elasticity and texture

What Exactly Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that is due to skin cells regenerating too quickly and collecting on the skin’s surface, developing painful, red, scaly patches covered with silver-colored scales. Additionally, the immune system plays big part in triggering psoriasis with stress being one of the triggers as well as cold and dry weather. Equally, eczema is a skin condition that stimulates the skin to get red and feel itchy. It can be triggered by allergens and stress. Furthermore, when the initiators are known, it helps to use the best course of action to manage them.

Skin is the largest organ of the body with many functions: it is waterproof, an insulating shield, guards the body against the extremes of temperature, damaging sunlight and harmful chemicals. It also exudes antibacterial substances that prevent infection and manufactures vitamin D for converting calcium into healthy bones. Skin is a huge sensor packed with nerves for keeping the brain in touch with the outside world. At the same time, skin allows us free movement, proving itself an amazingly versatile organ.

Skin issues such as psoriasis stem from the liver. Sometimes when toxins are ingested, the liver can’t break it down, metabolize or excrete the toxins. Therefore, a home sauna for sale can utilize its infrared heat therapy to send the toxins towards the skin’s surface in order to be eliminated through sweat. When the toxins stay beneath the skin’s cell, the body overproduces skin cells by a determinant of 10,000, so the toxins come out on the dead skin cells. Sweating on a regular basis, allows the body to eliminate toxins through sweat and sebaceous glands instead of through the shedding of skin.

Boost Your Immune System

A weakening immune system is partly responsible for skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. This is due to the fact that a poor immune system goes hand in hand with the physiological effects of long-term stress. If you have a depressed immune system, it can affect almost every aspect of your health and overall wellness. The efficiency of infrared heat gears up the immune system by encouraging blood flow and steps up the lymphatic drainage. When all of this happens, it slows down the duplication of viruses and bacteria in the body, which blocks illness and infection. Another plus is that infrared heat can trigger white blood cell production and collagen growth by boosting energy at the cellular level.

How Does An Infrared Sauna Improve Cellulite?

Although cellulite is not a skin disease, about 90% of women around the world have some form of cellulite, usually found on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. What exactly is cellulite? Cellulite is the formation of superficial pockets of trapped fat, which shows up on the affected area as dimpling skin.

You can improve the appearance of cellulite with simple relaxation sessions in an infrared sauna! The infrared heat penetrates deep into the fatty subcutaneous layer of the skin, the location where cellulite starts, and raises the heart rate and encourages blood circulation to prevent the accumulation of liquids within the fat cells. When the body slows down the accumulation of liquids in fat cells, the appearance of cellulite is greatly lowered.

Detox At Home

Many people buy an infrared sauna for sale to detox in the peace and quiet of their own home. According to estimations from the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the main cause of over 80% of illnesses usually originates from personal environments or lifestyle: the air that you breathe in, or the food that you ingest. There is very little you can do to lower your exposure to these factors, but the consistent use of an infrared sauna for detoxification purposes is an effective treatment, and in your own home!

Remember To Stay Hydrated

It’s a scientific fact that the body is composed of 66 to 70% water. On a normal and daily basis, the body loses around 35 to 90 ounces of water per day via sweat, body waste and breathing. When participating in normal athletic activity, the body can lose about 8 to 16 ounces of water every hour. Note that the body carries most of our nutrients in the blood; in general, blood consists of 82% water. Continually, the body’s muscles are made up of 75% water, the brain has 76% water, the lungs 90% and the bones have 25% water. Therefore, and without any doubt, water is very important for optimal health.

For that reason, it’s imperative to drink water before, during and after your sauna session. No matter what situation you are in, correct hydration is necessary for infrared sauna use. Make it a priority to consciously drink plenty of fluids daily for all of the above mentioned reasons.
