They also have an enlarged exercise area that includes one of SaunaRay’s Cycle Saunas. It is designed so a person can ride a spin-bike inside the gently warm infrared environment and sweat quickly and profusely without raising their core body temperature.

This means they remove chemicals via the sweat, without processing them through the organs in their digestive system.

 

Studies out of the University of Alberta in 2011 proved that human sweat is 10 times more toxic than urine. The researchers measured 16 toxic metals and nine of them, including Lead, Aluminium, and Cadmium – known to affect firefighters – are removed 10 times more efficiently via sweat than other natural avenues.

 

“After a fire the guys used to complain that they smelled of smoke for three days,” said Elyea. “Now if they go in the Cycle Sauna they sweat it out in a few minutes.”

Cost effectiveness aside, I can see the benefits of this type of treatment.
