Dr. Kogan on Fox and Friends Introducing ‘Far Infrared Sauna’

Overall, Far Infrared Sauna serves as a wonderful holistic treatment for patients suffering from various medical conditions! The most common issues that this treatment can address include the following ailments (which you can learn more about the conditions above on my Conditions page):

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Poor Circulation
  • Raynaud’s
  • Heavy Metal Toxicity

The Far Infrared spectrum of light is the most healing in terms of providing cellular detoxification. Moreover, this treatment improves the lymphatic drainage of the body. To accomplish this, we often combine the FIR sauna with VelaShape cellulite and fat-busting treatments for optimal results.

Here’s a break down of the ‘How’ and the ‘Why’: Far-infrared heat directly targets the fatty tissues in the subcutaneous layer of the skin. When the body’s core temperature reaches around 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit, fat begins to “melt” and break down into smaller particles.

These particles are then released from the body through intense sweating. Some of the toxins and fat molecules also enter the bloodstream and are eliminated by the kidneys, liver, and intestines. In addition to helping the body get rid of fat and harmful waste, far-infrared sauna sweating also promotes natural metabolic balance. In fact, during a 30-minute infrared sauna session/procedure, it’s possible to burn over 600 calories!

Over the past 40 years, research has shown the benefits of conducting sweat therapy using infrared saunas. The results have shown that this therapy is effective in reducing fatty tissues and harmful chemical residues.
