Says Angie Maroevich, owner of Royal Tan And Spa, “Our body wrap system provides far-infrared heat that penetrates below the cold fat deposits so you can increase the blood circulation to those areas, soften the hardened fat cells, and your body breaks them down and releases them through normal body functions.”

One of the best features of the infrared body wrap system is that you get wrapped in your clothes, and there are no messy gels or creams. Traditional body wraps require you to undress, and they only get rid of water weight.

Although Royal Tan And Spa’s infrared body wrap system is a proven way to get rid of cellulite, it’s also a proven alternative to treating stress, manage pain, and has had success in treating skin disorders such as acne, eczema and psoriasis.

Sauna Helps with Cellulite

Saunas help clear ugly cellulite, the gel-like lumps of fat, water and debris trapped in pockets beneath the skin. European beauty specialists routinely incorporate daily saunas in programs to reduce cellulite.

How Does Sauna Therapy Work?

As the body temperature rises by infrared heat, perspiration occurs and blood circulation increases. The muscles, organs, tissues and cells are stimulated by heat to sweat, and toxic waste, which includes heavy metals, is removed from the body through perspiration.

Infrared Saunas

Health professionals have used red infrared heat lamps for decades to treat muscle and joint problems. In hospital baby care units, incubators are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep new-born babies.

Sauna Benefits Worldwide

Sauna and Steam have long been the premier European ways to cleansing and rejuvenating. In Sweden people cherish the sauna as do the Finns and Norwegians. They know its health benefits are priceless.

Size of a Sauna

The size of the sauna is dictated primarily by how many people will be using it. As a general rule of thumb, most manufacturers recommend about 2 feet of bench space per occupant. The sauna can be placed just about anywhere - spare room, bathroom, basement, even outside.

So what are you waiting for? What is more convenient than to have your very own home sauna!

Stay inside the sauna for no more than 30 minutes at a time.

Lie down or sit for at least 10 minutes after using the sauna. Make sure you drink plenty of mineralized water before and after the sauna. Add minerals or juice to your water if it is mineral-free. It is also a good idea to add extra sea salt to your diet to replace minerals lost through sweating in the sauna.

Use the sauna under supervision if you have a chronic condition. If you are debilitated or very sensitive to heat, begin with a shorter period of time in the sauna. The presence of an attendant or friend in the sauna can also be very helpful.

If you use the sauna once a day, the evening is probably the best time. If you are ill, however, the morning may prove a better time because your energy levels are higher. Using the sauna less often is also acceptable if you are just beginning or if your goal is to maintain your health. If you have a condition which is very debilitating, begin with using the sauna once a week. You may gradually work your way up to using the sauna daily as you feel able.

While using the sauna, it is important to take frequent showers in order to cool down as well as to remove substances from the skin and prevent their re-absorption.
