Why We Use Infrared Heat to Support Our Immune Systems
If you guys follow me on Instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen our portable infrared sauna that we love! It’s made by a company called Therasage and we wanted to share a bit more about it today! Spending time in the sauna is one of the most effective ways to assist the body in removing environmental toxins. Infrared rays penetrate deep into the skin, providing soft heat that helps drive stored toxins out of the fat cells and into the sweat glands and bloodstream, where the body is able to excrete via sweat.
*In addition to detox, other benefits may be….
♡ Cellular communication
♡ Pain reduction
♡ Enhanced mitochondrial function
♡ Reduce inflammation
♡ Weight loss
♡ Wrinkle reduction
♡ Increased collagen production
♡ Oxygenation
♡ Immune boosting
♡ Negative ions to enhance mood and reduce anxiety
♡ Improved sleep
The Therasage portable infrared sauna has full spectrum infrared heating panels and tourmaline gemstones, which generate an abundance of negative ions and bathe your body from every angle in gentle full spectrum infrared frequencies with no exposure to harmful EMFs!
The sauna allows you to sweat out toxins at a cellular level and increase circulation. The infrared technology penetrates into the skin, reaching fat tissue, muscles, and even organs, thus reducing inflammation and detoxifying the whole body.
It also has the potential to boost your immune system -- infrared saunas are proven to increase white blood cells, lymphocytes, basophils, and neutrophils, therefore giving the immune system a gentle boost.

The sauna can also decrease pain and improve your mood!
Saunas are warm and cozy, naturally relaxing you and triggering endorphins (happy brain chemicals) like you get with exercise.
The sauna is simply enhancing your body’s own healing potential!
Quite often, we use the sauna right after we do a cold plunge. Alternating between extreme temperatures boosts circulation, helps you maintain muscle mass and a lean body, and is your body's secret detox weapon. The body's detox system is like a funnel. You can dump a lot in, but there is a narrow exit pathway. Excess toxins just overflow and must be redeposited and “stored” in our organs, brain and gut. It is important to balance the toxins circulating in our bloodstream with our ability to move them out of our body through our detoxification systems. Otherwise, we just move toxins from one part of the body to another.
Here’s a shared experience from one of my followers, we love it when you guys share with us!
“Infrared sauna saved my life. Quite literally. Late stage chronic Lyme almost killed me. Infrared sauna with ozone therapy, rebounding, and lots and lots of probiotics saved me.”

Therasage is a company we love, trust, and have used for years. They make so many wonderful products utilizing the healing power of full spectrum infrared frequencies. Here are some other products they offer that we love:
Perfect Shoulder pad
This is amazing for “nursing neck” -- when you’re holding your baby, looking down, and your shoulders are up — this position irritates your CT junction. Obviously it’s not just for those that are nursing! It can provide relief from joint pain associated with arthritis, muscle spasms, minor strains and sprains, and minor muscular back pain.
The Therasage heating pad has negative ions which produce biochemical reactions helping to alleviate stress and depression, boost daytime energy and increase defense against infection.
This deep penetrating heating pad features full spectrum infrared frequencies, and natural tourmaline. It’s made of super soft antibacterial material that contours every body shape.
Jade mat
Their jade mat has full spectrum, deep penetrating infrared heat, and natural jade stones to generate negative ions and grounding therapy without exposure to harmful EMFs.
People often ask how we have time in our busy lives to take care of ourselves in this way. A lot of times we choose to do our therapies after the kids have gone to sleep at night, or during nap time.
The bottom line is: we prioritize our health and healing. We choose to make time.
For years, I numbed myself with antidepressants, cigarettes, and alcohol because I didn’t want to “feel” pain. But to feel means you still have the power to stop the pain. You still have the power to grow and to feel something other than grief. Feel to heal.
Healing comes in many different forms for me -- you all know how much I love a coffee enema or some red light therapy. Infrared rays with my Therasage products are another one of my favorite tools because it has the potential to…..
♡ Detoxification
♡ Decreased inflammation
♡ Increased circulation
♡ Pain relief
♡ Burns calories
♡ Better sleep
♡ Destress
♡ Immune enhancement
♡ Increased nutritional upload
♡ Overall health and wellness support
