Heat therapy has been used throughout history for thousands of years and the benefits have been thoroughly studied and proven.
The Heat Healer Sauna Blanket is a modern day solution for convenient heat therapy, with benefits that may include:
You start to feel relaxed as your body warms up and your mind switches off. You will begin to feel as though you are entering into a deep meditative rest.
This is when the heat really starts to kick in and you will most likely begin to sweat. Your body will be burning calories, much like you would during exercise.
You may begin to experience feelings of euphoria in response to the heat stress as your brain releases its ‘feel good’ chemicals. You should now feel deeply rested.
Your body will have entered a state of hormesis with increased production of Heat Shock Proteins - a primary driver of the long term benefits you get from heat therapy.
No, you won’t be laying in a puddle of sweat! When using the Heat Healer, you should always place a towel down first, on top of the jade and tourmaline stone.
When you sweat, you will sweat into the towel, just the same as you would in a traditional sauna where you would put a towel on the bench first before sitting down.
Don't worry, we know that a sauna blanket might seem like a weird concept at first, but it is actually super easy to keep clean and not at all icky!
Infrared might sound like a futuristic technology, but really it isn’t. Infrared heat is produced from invisible infrared light and is a naturally occurring part of the light spectrum. It has been studied for over 200 years and is proven safe. Infrared light does NOT contain UV rays or anything else that might damage your skin or body.
Infrared saunas themselves have existed since the 1960’s with millions having been sold globally. In fact, infrared is such a safe method of producing heat that many hospitals use it in infant incubators to keep premature babies warm after birth.
There have been hundreds of independent studies conducted by doctors and scientists which show the benefits of heat therapy.
One study in particular that looked at the benefits of regular sauna use (the KIHD Study), has been running for over 35 years, involves 2,682 participants and has yielded over 500 international peer reviewed articles and 20 PhD theses.
