If you are not in perfect health, then I highly advise buying some pH strips from your local drugstore and testing the pH of your saliva. Ideally, it should be right around 7.36 which is slightly alkaline. If you're in chronic pain, chances are your body's pH level is already acidic. You cannot be slightly alkaline and in pain at the same time. And if you're acidic then pain-relief drugs will lose their effectiveness. The more acidic you are, the less potent pain-relievers become. This is one of the reasons why people who take painkiller drugs for chronic pain have to take more and more because the painkillers themselves lower the body's pH level to acidic.
If you're popping pills for pain or disease, the pills themselves may be keeping your body in an acidic state, therefore preventing your body from relieving itself of the pain or disease. Today, in the U.S., the average medicare patient is on 9.5 different medications.
Even though very few have heard about far-infrared therapy, it is nothing new. It has been used as an effective method of healing in the region known today as Tibet by the Finns as early as 5,000 B.C.E., before they migrated to Europe. Infrared or radiant heat comes from the sun naturally, and is in fact a necessary form of energy that all living things require for extraordinary health. If we don't receive enough of far-infrared light from the sun, we can become ill or depressed. Unlike conventional saunas, the infrared radiant sauna heats the body directly without having to heat the air in between. This results in its lower power-consumption and shorter warm-up time.
There are three wavelengths of infrared light: near, mid, and far. The infrared sauna focuses its output on the far-infrared range (between 6 and 14 microns) where 9.4 microns is the deepest penetrating, allowing the water molecules to vibrate, causing a release of the toxins through the sweat. Since the human body is 70% water, this far-infrared output is important for optimal detoxification of heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum. As toxins are released, the body naturally becomes more alkaline.
Infrared radiant heat therapy is beneficial for pain relief and there have been numerous clinical studies to back it up. The research has shown that infrared therapy is effective in relieving common pain conditions, such as lower back pain and menstrual pain. In a specific case study, a seventy year old man with arthritis began using an infrared sauna to relieve his pain. After numerous sauna sessions over a period of five months, his condition had significantly improved. In another case study, a fourteen year old girl who was challenged to even walk down the stairs because of severe knee pain since the age of eight (due to rheumatoid arthritis), also began using and infrared sauna for pain relief. After just three sessions, her pain had diminished significantly.
Infrared radiant heat therapy naturally supports the body's healing ability. This results in a variety of benefits such as the relaxation of sore and aching muscles and joints. Furthermore, because of the purification benefits, you will find that your overall health and energy will improve, allowing the body to maintain an anabolic, repair and rebuild mode, resulting in a boost to your immune system. The bottom line is that infrared sauna therapy is a natural, sale, affordable, and alkaline-enhancing alternative to taking acidifying, toxic drugs for pain relief.
