To date, special simulators, SPA procedures have been developed, saunas and pools, massages and cosmetic procedures have been created to maintain the beauty and health of the person. One such modern means are procedures in an infrared sauna or an infrared cabin.
Do not confuse them with a regular sauna or sauna. Japanese doctor Tadashi Ishikawa invented an infrared sauna (cabin) and began to apply it in his practice. For 10 years, the infrared cabin, the use of which affects many body systems, has become widespread in the West.
Psycho-emotional state of a person
The soft atmosphere created in the infra-red cabin, very favorably affects the psychological state of a person, helps to relieve tension, gives an opportunity to relax, relax, feel comfortable. Visitors to the infrared camera experience pleasant sensations and pleasure. Undoubtedly, it has a preventive and curative effect on the body.
The human digestive system
Infrared radiation of the cabin acts on the digestive system either indirectly, through the nervous system or endocrine, or directly by the temperature effect. Thermal procedures contribute to the redistribution of blood in the body, which affects the blood supply of organs and tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. At the initial stages, the blood supply to the digestive tract is reduced because of the outflow of blood to the peripheral tissues. At the same time, the secretory activity and motor activity of these organs decrease. In this regard, it is recommended not to overeat before the procedures in the infrared cabin. The food, which is at this time in the stomach, will press on the diaphragm, which prevents good ventilation of the lungs and hampers the work of the heart.
The circulatory system
Infrared heat affects the cardiovascular system by expanding and increasing the number of actively functioning capillaries. In addition, it facilitates blood flow through the arteries, accelerates blood flow through the veins, increases and intensifies contractions of the heart muscle, increases the minute and systolic blood volume. The increase in the lumen of the blood vessels changes the blood pressure, namely, the systolic pressure increases and the diastolic pressure decreases. Venous pressure increases, which reduces the blood supply of internal organs.
Excretory system
The main function of the kidneys is to maintain salt and water balance in the human body. Their activity is closely related to the work of sweat glands. In other words, active sweating greatly facilitates the work of the kidneys. The surprising fact is that in patients with metabolic disorders, when visiting the infrared cabin within one hour, more substances are removed from the body with sweat than by the kidneys during the day.
The immune system
Influences on immunological processes are revealed even at a single visit to the infrared cabin. There is evidence that procedures during the incubation period of acute infection change the course of the disease. This is due to the fact that the thermal session closes the disease or responds to an intensified reaction, which is expressed in an increase in temperature and a reduction in the duration of the course of the disease.
Metabolism
It is revealed that the infrared cabin influences mineral, gas and protein metabolism in the human body. In this case the salts of sodium chloride, nitrogenous substances, inorganic phosphorus, uric acid and urea are eliminated from the body. This, of course, positively affects the functioning of internal organs and the general state of the human body. It was revealed that visiting infrared procedures significantly accelerates the excretion of lactic acid from muscles after physical exertion.
Endocrine system
It is shown that infrared heat stimulates the production of hormones of internal secretion, from the pituitary gland to the adrenal cortex. The fact that five minutes of a thermal session in an infrared cabin is enough to activate the activity of the genitals, the thyroid gland, and the adrenal cortex is revealed.
