Infrared Body Wrap Burns Calories, Not Just Water Weight

April 19th, 2008

A new infrared body wrap system at Royal Tan And Spa has been proven to take inches off your ‘trouble spots’. Trouble spots are areas where your body stores ‘cold fat’, which is very difficult to burn through exercise. These areas that accumulate cold fat are commonly in your buttocks, thighs, abdomen, and upper arms.

Says Angie Maroevich, owner of Royal Tan And Spa, “Our body wrap system provides far-infrared heat that penetrates below the cold fat deposits so you can increase the blood circulation to those areas, soften the hardened fat cells, and your body breaks them down and releases them through normal body functions.”

One of the best features of the infrared body wrap system is that you get wrapped in your clothes, and there are no messy gels or creams. Traditional body wraps require you to undress, and they only get rid of water weight.

Although Royal Tan And Spa’s infrared body wrap system is a proven way to get rid of cellulite, it’s also a proven alternative to treating stress, manage pain, and has had success in treating skin disorders such as acne, eczema and psoriasis.

How to Take a Sauna

April 12th, 2008

Infrared heat is light produced by the sun, which is the heat you feel penetrating your skin when you stand in the sun — and miss when you walk into the shade. Infrared energy is also given off as body heat.

Before a Sauna Session.

Avoid heavy meals two hours before a sauna session. Avoid alcohol or other intoxicating substances. Drink eight ounces of water before entering a sauna and be sure to remove metal jewelry before entering the sauna, as it may become very hot.

Taking the Sauna.

Drink two glasses of mineralized water before entering the sauna. Add juice or minerals to your water if it is mineral-free. Use a small towel to wipe off the sweat.

Finishing Up.

Remain in the sauna no more than 30 minutes.

When finished, take a shower, warm or cool but not hot. Avoid using soap as you will be clean.

Are there more toxins in sweat than urine?

April 9th, 2008

The answer to that question is yes. In fact skin is often called the 3rd kidney. Steam Sweat , a powerful healing tool that is rarely used in the U.S., should be part of everyone’s daily health plan.

Sauna Helps with Cellulite

Saunas help clear ugly cellulite, the gel-like lumps of fat, water and debris trapped in pockets beneath the skin. European beauty specialists routinely incorporate daily saunas in programs to reduce cellulite.

How Does Sauna Therapy Work?

As the body temperature rises by infrared heat, perspiration occurs and blood circulation increases. The muscles, organs, tissues and cells are stimulated by heat to sweat, and toxic waste, which includes heavy metals, is removed from the body through perspiration.

Infrared Saunas

Health professionals have used red infrared heat lamps for decades to treat muscle and joint problems. In hospital baby care units, incubators are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep new-born babies.

Sauna Benefits Worldwide

Sauna and Steam have long been the premier European ways to cleansing and rejuvenating. In Sweden people cherish the sauna as do the Finns and Norwegians. They know its health benefits are priceless.

Size of a Sauna

The size of the sauna is dictated primarily by how many people will be using it. As a general rule of thumb, most manufacturers recommend about 2 feet of bench space per occupant. The sauna can be placed just about anywhere - spare room, bathroom, basement, even outside.

So what are you waiting for? What is more convenient than to have your very own home sauna!
