How Far Infrared Saunas Can Help With High Blood Pressure
Medical studies have shown that far infrared saunas are helpful in treating heart problems, including high blood pressure. A key benefit of using a Relax Saunas' far infrared sauna to treat high blood pressure is that by sitting in the sauna for just 20 minutes may cause reactions that are similar to those caused by moderate exercise. This is beneficial as a lack of physical activity is one of the risk factors for high blood pressure. The healthy heat generated by an infrared saunas also may relax and open up blood vessels because it penetrates deep into your skin. This key feature allows for more effective blood flow, which may lower blood pressure.
Stress, a causative factor when it comes to high blood pressure, can also be reduced by enjoying a 20 to 30 minute session in an far infrared sauna from Relax Saunas. Far Infrared saunas run at significantly lower temperatures than traditional hot rock saunas, so if you cannot tolerate the high heat of a regular sauna, an infrared sauna is the perfect match for you!
Far Infrared saunas make the most of the potent effect of the far infrared light spectrum on the human body to generate a plethora of health benefits, including lowering blood pressure. Biomedical research has discovered that the infrared light spectrum stimulates cellular regeneration and heightens mitochondrial activity, therefore, improving circulation through vasodilation.
As someone steps into a far infrared sauna their body is saturated on all sides by the warm hues of invisible light. The far infrared spectrum of light is invisible but is experienced kinetically as heat. Far infrared light can penetrate beyond the initial epidermis to deeply penetrate the soft tissue of the body.
The human body is composed of over 50 trillion cells, each a home to the mitochondria. The mitochondria are sensitive to all light, but particularly to the infrared light spectrum. The energy plant of each individual cell responds by converting the infrared light through ATP into nitric acid that serves to hyper-oxygenate the hemoglobin in the body. Heart rate is elevated as the freshly oxygenated blood cells begin to flow through the body like fluid rivers into areas of inflammation. Improved circulation reduces inflammation, and therefore pain (1).
Understanding the mechanism of the interaction between the infrared light spectrum and the physiological network of the body reveals its impact on blood pressure and its ability to lower blood pressure.
Vasodilation, the dilation of blood cells occurs in response to the penetrative far infrared light spectrum through the initial epidermis of the skin, this makes far infrared sauna therapy a potent and effective means of lowering blood pressure (2).
