 How to take a
traditional sauna?

A sauna ... should be

followed by a roll in the
snow, according to the
Finns.

A 10-minute, post-workout blast is not doing it properly. The Finnish Sauna

Society recommends spending at least an hour and a half at the sauna,
though sweating should be interspersed with two or three cool showers, a
swim or - for the brave - a roll in the snow. The sauna should be heated to 80
-100 C. There should always be some moisture in the air; a dry sauna can
damage the respiratory system. Start off with a shower, and afterwards, let
the body cool down before getting dressed. Slapping each other with damp
birch leaves aids circulation - Finnish women claim they never get cellulite.
Saunas have a number of health benefits: the heat makes your organs work
as if you were doing mild exercise, so you might burn a few extra calories,
and it lowers blood pressure. Sweating detoxifies the skin: around 99 per cent
of what the sweat brings to the surface is water, but the other 1 per cent is
toxins, such as heavy metals absorbed from pollution. Finally, should you be
naked? If you're doing it properly, yes. In the Dolomites in Italy, nudity is
obligatory, and even towels are not allowed. They say this is for hygiene
reasons, because damp clothes breed germs, but in Finland people believe it
is unhygienic to go without a small cloth to sit on.

Infrared Sauna - additional Health
Benefits
Passive Cardiovascular Conditioning Effect

Infrared Sauna Therapy makes it possible for people in wheelchairs, or those

who have a disability that affect their ability to exercise to achieve a
cardiovascular training effect. Regular use of a sauna may impact a similar
stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be as effective,
as a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories, as regular
exercise." - Journal of the American Medical Association 8/7/81.
Due to the deep penetration of the infrared rays generated by the Far Infrared
Sauna, there is a heating effect deep in the muscular tissues and the internal
organs. The body responds to this deep-heating effect via an hypothalamic-
induced increase in both heart volume and rate. This beneficial heart stress
leads to a sought-after cardiovascular training and conditioning effect.
Medical researches confirm the use of a sauna provides cardiovascular
conditioning as the body works to cool itself and involves substantial
increases in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.

Weight Loss

Fat becomes water-soluble at a temperature of 30 C° before it begins to

dissolve and enter the bloodstream to be removed from the body. In a FIR
Sauna fat is also removed through sweat and cellulite. Weight loss is one of
the benefits of using a FIR sauna each day for only 20-40 minutes. A single
sauna session will burn 200-500 calories, as many as rowing a boat for 30
minutes or running several miles. Many people who have attempted weight
loss through dieting and have not been successful will be pleased with their
results from using a FIR sauna. Often the inability to lose weight is associated
with chemical toxicity. As these toxins are removed from the body while using
the FIR sauna, weight loss naturally follows. FIR saunas are the ONLY
natural, healthy way to burn calories without exercising.
Use of a FIR sauna has a cumulative effect on the body, meaning that using it
daily magnifies its benefits. The first time you use the FIR sauna will be a
pleasant experience. However, after several days and then weeks,
detoxification, weight loss, immune building and other benefits will increase
dramatically. One must experience this cumulative effect to understand it
completely.

1. Increases the extensibility of collagen tissues.

Tissues heated to 45°C and then stretched exhibit a non-elastic residual

elongation of about 0.5 ~0.9% that persists after the stretch is removed.
It does not occur in these same tissues when stretched at normal tissue
temperatures. Thus 20 stretching sessions can produce around 10 ~ 18%
increase in length in tissues heated and stretched.
This effect would be especially valuable in working with ligaments, joint
capsules, tendons, fasciae, and synovium that have become scarred,
thickened or contracted.
Such stretching at 45°C caused much less weakening in stretched tissues
for a given elongation than a similar elongation produced at normal tissue
temperatures.
The cited experiments clearly show that low-impact stretching can produce
a significant residual elongation when heat is applied together with
stretching or range-of-motion exercises, which is also safer than stretching
tissues at normal tissue temperatures.
This safer stretching effect is crucial in properly training competitive
athletes so as to minimize their "down" time from injuries.

2. Decreases joint stiffness directly.

There was a 20% decrease in stiffness at 45°C as compared with 33°C in

rheumatoid finger joints, which correlated perfectly to both subjective and
objective observation of stiffness.
Any stiffened joint and thickened connective tissues should respond in a
similar fashion.

3. Relieves muscle spasms.

Muscle spasms have long been observed to be reduced through the use of
heat, be they secondary to underlying skeletal, joint or neuro-pathological
conditions.
This result is possibly produced by the combined effect of heat on both
primary and secondary afferent from spindle cells and from its effects on
Golgi tendon organs. The effects produced by each of these mechanisms
demonstrated their peak effect within the therapeutic temperature range
obtainable with radiant heat

Sivu 6 / 42
4. Produces pain relief.

Pain may be relieved via the reduction of attendant or secondary muscle

spasms. Pain is also at times related to ischemia due to tension or spasm,
which can be improved by the hyperemia that heat-induced vasodilatation
produces. This then breaks the feedback loop, in which the ischemia leads to
further spasm and then more pain.
Heat has been shown to reduce pain sensation by direct action on both
free-nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves. In one dental study,
repeated heat applications eventually led to abolishment of the whole nerve
response responsible for pain arising from dental pulp.

Heat may lead to both increased endorphin production and a shutting down of
the so-called "spinal gate" of Melzack and Wall, each of which can reduce
pain.

5. Increases blood flow.

Heating of one area of the body produces reflex-modulated vasodilatation

in distant-body areas, even in the absence of a change in core body
temperature; i.e. heat one extremity and the contralateral extremity also
dilates; heat a forearm and both lower extremities dilate; heat the front of
the trunk and the hand dilates.
Heating of muscles produces an increased blood flow level similar to that
seen during an exercise.
Temperature elevation produces an increase in blood flow and dilation
directly in capillaries, arterioles, and venuies, probably through direct action
on their smooth muscles. The release of bradykinin, released as a
consequence of sweat-gland activity, also produces increased blood flow
and vasodilatation.
Whole-body hyperthermia, with a consequent core temperature elevation,
further induces vasodilatation via an hypothalamic-induced decrease in
sympathetic tone on the arteriovenous anastomoses. Vasodilatation is also
produced by axonal reflexes and by reflexes that change vasomotor
balance.

6. Assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrates, edema and exudates.

The increased peripheral circulation provides the transportation needed to

help evacuate the edema, which can help stop inflammation, decrease pain
and help speed healing.

Brain Damage: accelerated repair in brain contusions
Short-term memory improved
Cancer of the tongue reversed
Toxic Electromagnetic Fields: effects neutralized
Cerebral Hemorrhages: recovery is both sped up and significantly
enhanced
Auto Accident: related soft tissue injury - daily sessions were used until
best healing was attained; then Infrared systems were used to deal with

Sivu 8 / 42
permanent residuals. The pain control effect on the chronic residuals from
such injuries lasted three days before another treatment was necessary.
Arthritis, acute and chronic: was greatly relieved
Gouty Arthritis: relieved
Rheumatoid Arthritis: relieved
Menopause Symptoms: relieved chills, nervousness, depression,
dizziness, head & stomach aches
Weight Loss: first, through sweating and the energy use needed to produce
the sweat and second, through direct excretion of fat

Blood Circulation - the following ailments may be associated to poor

circulation and, thus, may respond well to the increased peripheral dilation
associated with Infrared application:

Arthritis
Sciatica
Backaches
Hemorrhoids
Nervous Tension
Diabetes
Children's Over-tired Muscles
Varicose Veins
Neuritis
Bursitis
Rheumatism
Strained Muscles
Fatigue
Stretch Marks
Menstrual Cramps
Upset Stomachs
Leg and Decubitus Ulcers: failed to heal using conventional approaches
Post-Operative Edema: treatment with infrared has been so successful that
hospital stays were reported to have been reduced by 25%

Coronary Artery Disease, Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension

Finnish researchers, talking about the regular use of conventional saunas
state that there are abundant evidences to suggest that blood vessels of
regular sauna-goers remain elastic and pliable longer due to the regular
dilation and contraction of blood vessels induced by sauna use. German
medical researchers reported in "Dermatol Monatsschr" in 1989 that a single
whole-body session of infrared-induced hyperthermia lasting over one hour

Sivu 9 / 42
had only beneficial effects on subjects with stage I-II essential hypertension.
Each subject experienced a rise in core body temperature to a maximum
level of 38.5°C (101.3°F). All of the subjects in one experiment had significant
decrease in arterial, venous and mean blood pressure that lasted for at least
24 hours and was linked, according to the researchers, to a persistent
peripheral dilation effect. An improvement in plasma viscosity was also noted.
Another group of similar hypertension patients was also studied under the
same conditions of infrared-induced hyperthermia, with an eye toward more
carefully evaluating the circulatory system effects induced by this type of
whole-body heating. During each infrared session, there was a significant
decrease of blood pressure, cardiac ejection resistance, and total peripheral
resistance in every subject. There was also a significant increase during each
session of the subjects' heart rates, stroke volumes, cardiac outputs and
ejection fractions. The researchers cite these last three effects as evidences
that the stimulation of the heart during infrared-induced hyperthermia is well
compensated, while the prior list of effects clearly show the microcirculatory
changes that lead to the desired result of a lowering of blood pressure.

Problems often accompanying Aging, that have been reported to have

been alleviated or reduced by Infrared Therapy:

Menopause
Cold hands and feet: A physical therapist found 20~50% improvement was
maintained
High Blood Pressure: Example - Case of a diabetic with a systolic
decrease from 180 to 125 and a concurrent 5 kgs weight loss after infrared
use
Rheumatoid Arthritis: 7 out of 7 cases successfully resolved in one clinical
trial
Radiation Sickness: relieves signs and symptoms
Cancer Pain: relieved pain in later stages of cancer extremely well
Sequelae of Strokes: Example - Hemiparesis relieved over time
Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy: reduced
Duodenal Ulcers: eliminated
Pain: which prevented sleep or limited useable sleeping positions were
relieved
Compression Fracture Pain: Example - pain gone for 3 days after each
treatment in steoporotic compression fractures
Hemorrhoids: reduced § Cystitis: gone
Cirrhoisis of Liver: reversed
Gastritis: relieved

Sivu 10 / 42
 Hepatitis: gone
Asthma & Bronchitis: cleared up (like moving to Arizona's dry air)
Chron's Disease: gone
Post Surgical Adhesions: reduced
Leg ulcers: healed when previously static and resistant to other care
Keloids: significantly softened and, in some cases, completely gone

Ear, Nose and Throat conditions relieved with Infrared treatments:

Chronic middle-ear inflammation or infection

Sore throats
Tinnitus: chronic severe case cleared with 10 Infrared treatments
Nose bleeding

Skin conditions benefited by Infrared treatments

Nettle rash
Clogged pores are unplugged of cosmetics creating a skin texture and tone
of unexcelled quality. Mikkel Aaland's book Sweat (Capra Press, 1978)
quotes a Finnish doctor to the effect that: "The best dressed foreigner can
come into a doctor's office, and when his skin is examined, it is found to be
rough as bark. On the other hand, as a result of the sauna, the skin of
any Finnish worker is supple and healthy"
Poor skin tone is restored to a more youthful level
Scars and pain from burns or wounds are decreased in severity and extent.
Infrared therapy is used routinely in burn units throughout Asia
Lacerations heal quicker and with less pain and scarring
Acne: Three or four infrared treatments may open pores that have not been
functioning in years, forcing out clogging cosmetics and loosening dead
outer skin. The sauna is thus a boon to teenage skin, clearing acne and
blackheads
Body odor: by improving the function of the skin, the infrared treatments
may eliminate the cause of offensive body odor. It definitely reduces body
odor induced by occupational exposure to odorous chemicals
Eczema and Psoriasis: reported to have responded extremely well to
infrared treatments
Sunburn: according to the 9th edition of Clayton's Electrotherapy, ”infrared
is the only antidote to excessive ultraviolet radiation."
Keloids forms at a reduced rate in those prone to their formation with
infrared treatments and may be softened by use of infrared systems if they
have form,

 Beauty

Excellent for increasing blood circulation to the skin, which is essential

for beautiful, youthful, glowing skin.
A new "inner glow" as the skin is free of accumulated dirt and dry skin
cells, due to deep cleansing of impurities.
Improves the conditions of acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and any skin
lesions and cuts.
Open wounds heal quicker with reduced scarring.
Removes roughness, leaving skin baby smooth and soft again.
Firms and improves skin tone and elasticity

Scars on Skin

Scars fully formed, even keloids, may be gradually softened. Burns and
other wounds or incisions may heal with significantly reduced scarring.

Cellulite

Cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes, which

are trapped in pockets below the skin. An Infrared Thermal System can
assist this condition, as profuse sweating helps clear this form of
unwanted debris from the body.
European beauty specialists confirm that a sauna will greatly speed any
anti-cellulite program.
Due to at least twice the depth of heat penetration into cellulite combined
with up to 10 times the level of heating in these tissues, an Infra
Therapist System can be significantly more effective than any
conventional sauna.

Flexibility:

A Far-Infrared Sauna is perfect as a "heat therapy room" for athletes

looking for a pre-workout warm-up to warm up muscles and increase
flexibility, helping to prevent injury. It's also ideal for pre-warm-up for physical
therapy and massage therapy, or for a relaxing, wind-down at the end of a
stress-filled day.

Sivu 12 / 42
 Relieves pain and Stiffness:

The deep heat of the far infrared sauna helps peripheral blood vessels
dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Increased
blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-
rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscle, so they recover faster. Muscles relax
most readily when tissues are warm, for greater flexibility and range of
motion.

Improves the Immune System:

Sauna's deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing an artificial

fever. As it works to combat the "fever," the body's immune system is
strengthened. Combined with the elimination of toxins and wastes produced
by the intense sweating, the overall health and resistance to disease is
increased.

Increases Blood Circulation and Strengthens Cardiovascular System:

While the moisture on the surface of the skin evaporates and thus cools
the body, a number of other changes occur in the body to release the heat as
quickly as possible. The heart beats harder and faster , pumping more blood
through the dilated blood vessels, thus achieving the conditioning benefits of
continuous exercise.
As the body increases sweat production to cool itself, the heart works
harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, supplying the
conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and
metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops, for improved
overall cardiovascular fitness.

Removes Toxins:

Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built-up

toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help detoxify the body as it rids itself of
an accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals (lead, mercury,
nickel, cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and
cholesterol.

Reduces Stress and Fatigue:

Sivu 13 / 42
 Perhaps the most immediate relief this far infrared sauna offers is simple
relaxation, as it melts away the stresses and tensions of urban life. infrared
sauna gives an overall massaging effect, soothing jangled nerves and knotted
muscles.

Improves Skin Condition:

The profuse sweating achieved after just a few minutes in far infrared
sauna carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the
skin glowing and immaculately clean, Increased circulation draws the skin's
own natural nutrients to the surface. It improves tone, elasticity, texture and
fresh color of the skin. Increased blood circulation has also been shown to
relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions and cuts. In addition, open
wounds may heal more quickly, reducing scarring.
In a Far Infrared Sauna, the body gets well conditioned and animated to
have good absorption of calcium.
Detoxification of narcotic drugs and hormone disrupting chemicals
(dioxin PCB, formaldehyde, agricultural chemicals, food additives, etc.)
melted in the body fat and internal organs.
Far Infrared Therapy is effective for treating sprains, muscle spasms and
joint stiffness; relieves aches and pains. Infrared sauna relieves
soreness, swelling and lactic acid from exercise! The muscles and
tendons gets soft, removing or decreasing such in the muscles as amino-
acid, fatigue stuff, harmful old wastes, and bringing relief from congestion
and hyperthermia.
Heat Shock Protein (HSP70) to protect the body from various kind of
stress is induced and can strengthen the muscle.
Far Infrared Therapy strengthens the cardiovascular system with deep
Far Infrared penetration (up to 1.5").
Far Infrared Therapy detoxifies heavy metals, hydrocarbon residues,
alcohol, nicotine, sodium and cholesterol.
Far infrared saunas improve your immune system by sweating at a lower
more comfortable temperature than a conventional hot sauna as it
enhances circulation and oxygenate the tissues. It also opens the nasal
passages and assist the sinuses to drain.
Far Infrared Saunas increase overall health and resistance to disease as
heating of the tissues enhances metabolic processes. Increases the
immune power The leukocyte, macrophage, NK cells and T cells are
activated (the immune power is strengthened over 200 times by

Sivu 14 / 42
raising the body core temperature up to 3.5 degrees C). Greater cellular
energy production facilitates healing. Viruses, tumors and toxin-laden cells
are weaker than normal cells as they tolerate heat poorly. Raising the body
temperature causes infections to heal more quickly. Hyperthermia or fever
therapy help combat infections and even cancer. Our bodies develop fever
when ill to enhance metabolism and help kill germs.
Far Infrared Sauna Therapy sharpens senses and relieves stress, leaving you
feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Improvement and harmonization of
autonomic nerves, balance of sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic
nerves. Far Infrared Sauna Therapy improves skin within a few minutes.
Helps scars and burns. Acne, psoriasis and eczema conditions will also
improve. Increased blood circulation and deep cleansing of impurities
improves skin tone and elasticity. Accelerates healing and reduces scars,
even burns!
Far Infrared Sauna Therapy stimulates endorphins of the brain and kills
organisms like bacteria and parasites.
SOD (super oxide diastase) and scavenger is promoted through the entire
body.
Far Infrared Sauna energy penetrates deeply into the body producing a
warming, relaxing and detoxifying effect. Preheating is unnecessary which
saves electricity.
Repeated use of Far-Infrared Saunas slowly restores skin elimination as toxic
chemicals and metals can be removed faster than with any other method. It is
a daily habit that pays many dividends. Steam baths, sweat lodges, vigorous
exercise and hot tubs are more extreme and less effective and the intense
heat is difficult for many to tolerate, especially when ill.

HOW TO CONVERT YOUR TRADITIONAL SAUNA TO A WELLNESS

CENTER BY ADDING THE FINNISH DUETTO INFRARED HEATERS TO
YOUR SAUNA ROOM?

Did you know that now it is possible to do a Combi-sauna with rock stove heating
and infrared heating in the same space? The latest Finnish product development has
come up with Duetto® infrared heaters which have been tested to work very well in
traditional stove sauna rooms. You can use both infrared heat and traditional sauna
heat at the same time or after each other

The Finnish made Duetto infrared heaters are easy to install to an old or new sauna
room where the old stove heater can also be used simultaneously. The infrared heat
treats the body deep inside and helps in detoxification by intensive sweating. Just add
Duetto heaters behind the back of each sauna user and one at both ends of the sauna
bench and one or two behind the feet on the back wall. The temperature and the
heating time is controlled by a Saunakeskus is1 control unit designed for infrared
saunas. The Duetto heaters have a glass surface, which is available in black or gray
color. The backrests are installed on top of the heaters and factory made grids are
available made of alder wood.

Duetto – infrared emittter IP67

Size: 910x310x28xmm, Effect 900W. Duetto infrared sauna - emitter is
unique. It is made in Finland for heating normal electric or wood heated
sauna with healthy and electric saving INFRARED heat. The usage of this
heater has been tested and approved according to the demands of "Sauna
and IR-sauna 2012" directive. This heating element is safe to use with
electric heating stove at the same time or separately. The glass surface
element is safe to install either vertically or horizontally at the sauna walls.
You can build your own infrared sauna in the space you have available in
the bathroom or even a closet or open balcony. All you need is an electric
supply point, no connections to water piping or air conditioning. Duetto
elements are fixed to the wall with four screws which are included in the
delivery. A control unit either GIRA - time clock or Saunakeskus is 1 -
control unit for temperature and heating time can be used with the heaters.
GIRA-timer can be installed inside the sauna under 1 m height. No
thermostat is then needed. Installation is simple and easy. To decrease the
input wattage always two pcs of Duettos can be installed in series and the
required wattage is halved but the output heat from the glass surface is
maintained. All you need for infrared heating are adequate number Duetto
- heaters, backrests and a Saunakeskus is1 - control unit.

Number of Duetto® infra sauna heaters and usage of them
Infrared rays generated in the Duetto® infrared sauna heaters produce
a good feeling. When the infrared sauna heater is placed close to the
large body muscles, a maximum benefits from the heating power can
be achieved. One heater per person needs about 50 cm width of sauna
bench, as well as one set of heaters on bench sides. The heaters are
placed on the wall behind the back of bather/bathers and on both sides
of the bench as well as to legroom. The legroom heater is installed in
parallel to the bench, about 10 cm from the front edge of the bench,
below the seat. In front of the infrared sauna heaters, the safety grille
is installed in which one can lean on during bathing. Please note the
sauna stove manufacturer's safety and installation instructions when
installing the heaters.
Pleasant bathing temperature in the infrared sauna is 50 - 60 C.
Each sauna bather, however, can find a best bathing temperature
individually. Good sauna bathing time in infrared sauna is 30 minutes.
The maximum allowed continuous bathing time is one hour. In the
infrared sauna, a lot of fluid dissipates from your body. Do not forget
to drink plenty of water!
Number of heaters required: When selecting the number of sauna
heaters, take into account the sauna room dimensions. The necessary
heating power is about 1kW/m3. So calculate minimum 1 Duetto
heater per m3. The glass and tile surfaces increase the power needed
by 1kW/m2. If you can use sauna stove to heat the air, you will only
need 500 W/m3 heater capacity, e.g. 0,5 Duetto heaters per m3.
