January 1, 2005. New York, NY - it is exciting to learn that the heat and sweat generated from a Radiant Heat Sauna, like the one at Elemur, is actually a work out! The relaxing Radiant Heat Sauna gives you a mild cardiovascular workout, supports weight loss, reduces cellulite AND makes you feel relaxed. When your body's core temperature rises above 98.6 degrees two important things happen; your heart rate increases and you sweat.

This natural reaction perpetuates better health and internal fitness. At Elemur you will not only rid yourself of the strains of the day, you will leave armed with the knowledge of how to better care for yourself moving forward.In the exclusive Radiant Heat Sauna, working, or should I say, relaxing up a sweat is easy. The heat of traditional saunas found at most gyms can be overwhelming and many people have a hard time lasting in ia stuffy steam room, but if the benefits of the sauna are so great then you have to tough it outm right?

Wrong. A Radiant Heat Sauna differs from traditional saunas is that it uses direct infrared energy to penetrate the body's tissues and is able to heat your body's core, not just the skin surface. The temperature can be maintained at 180 degrees to avoid the discomfort of surface heating that occurs in traditional saunas. The Radiant Heat Sauna makes it easier to breath, while warming your muscles better than ever. You are able to stay in the increased temperature comfortably and long enough to start the detoxification process.

The sauna step is key to raising the metabolism and getting the body working on its inherent self healing process. After experiencing the Radiant Heat Sauna you will have more opened pores and dilated blood vessels, making your skin receptive to absorb the healing seaweed Wrap which is rich in potassium, calcium and other nourishing trace elements. The seaweed masque extends the detoxification process and helps to rid the body of impurities. Since the skin is the largest organ in the human body, made up of over 3 million sweat glands, it is important to help it along in the cleansing process.

We battle the elements every day; pollution, poor diet, stress and dehydration just to name a few. The least we can do is to give our skin a boost with detoxification. The Radiant Heat Sauna followed by a Seaweed Wrap is just what the holistic doctor ordered. And have no fear, if the detoxification process causes minor blemishes, as can often occur with the removal of impurities, the facial and body facial services are second to none at Elemur and will help continue the healing.
