Egyptian Reflexology is a gentle form of reflexology that uses a two part approach to remove congestion and pain.

INFRARED SAUNA


In an infrared sauna, the infrared rays penetrate up to 2" into our bodies, increasing blood circulation and cellular activity. By simulating a fever the immune system springs into action. Our heart rate increases and as we start to sweat, toxins are released from our cells and carried out of our body through the skin. This gives the heart and circulatory system an aerobic exercise as well. As muscles and joints are loosened up, we absorb more oxygen. This makes us feel refreshed and energized as aches and pains disappear. It has been said that to have a 30 minute sauna once a day for a year will get rid of most of our accumulated toxins and pollutants and help our liver and kidneys keep up with the rest of the detoxification process.

  • Before useing our infrared sauna, please use the following guidelines:
  • Shower First - this elimates any perfume/cologne, antiperspirants and soaps that may be clogging pores.
  • Bring a bathing suit or shorts and T-shirt with you for sitting in the sauna. For sanitary reasons your Birthday Suit is not recommended.
  • Drink lots of water before and after each sauna use.
  • Begin slowly and remember to LISTEN to your body.
  • Sauna temperatures can range from 120 - 140 degrees F so when first using the sauna, it is recommended to start 10 minutes at a time to see how your body will respond to the heat.

90 minutes $33.95

BENEFITS OF USING AN INFRARED SAUNA


We strongly recommend you read this article in it's entirety!


We live in a world where we are overpowered by toxins and pollutants. Almost everything we eat, drink, or breathe has toxins and pollutants in it. As a result our bodies are constantly trying to detoxify us but because the input is so great, we simply cannot keep up. Therefore, we store a lot of toxins until we can dispose of them.


Someone once compared it to working in a factory where our job was to shred paper. As the constant stream of boxes came down the conveyor belt, our job was to openthem up and shred the contents. This all worked fine until the conveyor belt started to speed up. As a result we got further and further behind until we had no
choice but to stack some boxes in the corner until we could deal with them. Still the boxes kept coming and pretty soon we had no more room to put them. All we could do at that point was to shut down the conveyor belt until we could catch up.


This is what happens in our bodies. If we take in more toxins than our body can dispose of, we store these toxins until we can get rid of them. But, if the toxins keep coming in faster than we can process them, our body eventually gets overpowered, shuts down, and we get sick. I believe fibromyalgia is caused by this type of toxic overload as are many other sicknesses and diseases.

Therefore, to stay healthy, we need to decrease our intake of toxins and process the toxins we do take in better. If we help our body get rid of toxins, then our liver, kidneys, and other organs have more time to dispose of the daily intake and we store less and less.
