Press Release Summary: One of the best ways to relax, reduce stress, eliminate
toxins, and relieve pain is to sweat once a day in an in-home far infrared sauna,
says this expert.

Press Release Body: Buena Park , CA - Cultures throughout the world have experienced
the benefits of daily sweating in a sauna to beat stress, stimulate and improve
circulation, help the body purge itself of impurities, reduce pain, and just relax.

From the elaborate bath complexes of the Romans, to the simple and often rustic
structures of the Scandinavians, many cultures throughout history have known of the
many therapeutic benefits of saunas.

"Daily sweating in a dry, far infrared sauna does increase blood circulation, which
releases built-up toxins and waste while providing purifying benefits. It causes the
heart to pump harder and faster, just like jogging, cycling and other forms of
aerobic exercise, allowing you to build up a sweat with the same benefits of
continuous exercise," explained Tracy Lopez from PLH Products, manufacturer of
Health Mate saunas.

The use of the Health Mate far infrared sauna causes a person to sweat two to three
times more than in a conventional heat sauna, according to Lopez.

"In one sauna session a moderately conditioned person can easily sweat the
equivalent of running six to eight miles. The calories expended make this a valuable
form of weight loss and weight control," she said.

The deep penetrating infrared heat also stimulates the heart to send more blood to
the cells of the body, which increases blood circulation, bringing relief to pain
and other symptoms.

Profuse sweating is needed on a daily basis to eliminate the many toxins stored in
the body. The unique way that a far infrared sauna produces heat in the body can
cause just a moderately conditioned person to sweat off up to 600 calories or even
more in a single sauna session, according to Lopez.

Those who are unable to exercise heavily, for whatever reason, have an even greater
need to create a regular sweat in a far infrared sauna, she added.

Robert O. Young, in his 1999 PhD. dissertation \"Sick and Tired? Reclaim Your Inner
Terrain\" stated: "One of the best passive exercises is the radiant heat of an
infrared sauna which, causes a profound deep sweat. After about 30 minutes of
exposure, the blood vessels of the skin dilate to allow more blood to flow to the
surface to support the cooling process. The millions of sweat glands covering the
body are infused with fluid from the blood. In turn, they empty to the skin\'s
surface, thereby flushing large amounts of toxins, including toxic acids and heavy
metals, from the body."
