How to Get the Best Full Body Detox Treatment
The purpose of detoxification treatment is cleansing the body of the toxins that polute it. The most common parts of the body for detoxification treatment include the kidneys, liver, colon, gastronintestinal tract, and blood.
With the recent surge of interest in alternative treatments for health, detoxification as a body cleansing treatment has once more appeared as a strong holistic option. The most common detoxification programs in the West include physical treatments such as colon cleansing and dietary approaches. These forms of body detoxifying have their benefits, but they can be expensive, physically trying, and directed for specific areas of the body, all of which can act as deterrents to people interested in total body detoxification.
Alternative Detoxification Treatments
As is the case with many forms of holistic therapy, Eastern medicine offers different approaches to detoxifying the body. Three different approaches include the use of crystals, heat, and ionization.
A popular form of crystal treatment is amethyst. While it was known as a cure for hangovers in ancient Greece, Eastern medicine values amethyst for its effect of balancing the mind. Patients will use amethyst to treat depression, insomnia, anxiety, and a host of other mental-related symptoms.
Heat therapy appears in many different forms. Saunas, smoke, and heated pads are all popular uses of heat to treat different ailments of the body. A recent innovation has been the use of FIR (Far Infrared Rays). FIR are renowned for their ability to penetrate deeply and painlessly into the body. The heat generated by FIR has been shown to stimulate healthy cell growth and increase blood circulation, both of which are directly related to full body detox.
Ionization has been gaining a strong following in the West in recent years. Whether it appears in the form of water ionizers or facial creams, ionization produces an energizing charge to the body that strengthens oxygen flow to the brain and clears the blood of toxins that have latched on to blood cells. Ionization treatment is a holistic approach to treating and curing a wide range of symptoms, from depression and toxins, to allergies and blood pressure.

Infrared Sauna Review
Saunas have been perceived to be an item of luxury. And the other reason that they have gained attention is the role that they are capable of playing when it comes to weight loss. Interestingly, the new-age infrared saunas are way better compared to the classic old steam saunas when it comes to any of the above.
Let us review the key aspects you should look into while buying your sauna. Interestingly in each of these cases, an infrared sauna works way better than a conventional steam sauna. The list of aspects follows.
· Detoxification: This is the single-most important aspect of a sauna that you should look into. The better the detoxification capabilities, the better off you would be with your sauna. The detoxification aspect is related to the stress relief aspect described subsequently.
· Weight loss: According to Guyton's textbook of Medical Physiology, 1 gram of sweat needs 0.568 kilo calories to produce. With a good infrared sauna, an average sauna user can produce 500 grams of sweat. A therapeutic session thus is capable or burning around 350 calories. This is equivalent to running a couple of miles or more. Infrared saunas also help your body to get rid of cellulite. Cellulite is a substance generated by the body fat cells, water and wastes. So sauna weight loss is not "water loss" as perceived by many, it is real weight loss if you use the right kind of infrared saunas.
· Pain relief: Infrared saunas lead to pain relief. The infrared energy can penetrate up to 1.5 inches inside our muscle tissues. Interestingly, almost 95% of this energy is absorbed through the skin. As a result, the blood circulation dynamics are positively affected, leading to reduction and even elimination of painful conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Evidence has been found through studies that with the right kind of infrared sauna, the injury healing is quickened if the heat is applied 24-48 hours post-injury.
· Stress relief: Some top-quality saunas, especially the one mentioned at the end of this article (explore the resource link given in the last line of the article to find more), are equipped with Carbon 360 far infrared technology or its equivalent. This calls for improved blood circulation and quick stress relief. In other words, you get better refreshed in some saunas compared to others, and the best refreshment comes if your sauna has the Carbon 360 or equivalent technology incorporated.
· Safety: This is important - you would want a sauna which is shock-proof with ample guarantee, no matter what the manufacturer claims. I strongly recommend you never buy a sauna that is not certified by an authority. An ETL-certified sauna, for example, is a perfectly safe one to use and is on the top of my list of recommendations. ETL stands for Electrical Testing Laboratories.
Yes, to make sure that you are getting the best from your sauna, it is exactly the above five aspects that you should concentrate on, though I can think of a lot of other benefits that you get from a sauna.
And I have seen such huge lists of benefits and features on a number of websites, with none really telling you what are the actual aspects you, as a user of sauna, should really care about.
If you are planning to buy a sauna, I recommend that you go for carbon-based infrared saunas. Avoid ceramic saunas and avoid steam saunas - strictly. I know it may mean a couple of hundred extra bucks, but then, if that is difficult for you then I believe not owning a sauna at all is a better option.
