Infrared Sauna
One of the most common uses of a Far infrared saunas (FIR) is to assist your body to get rid of toxins. Especially if patients do not sweat regularly, the use of FIR acts as a vehicle to help release these toxins.
Many of our patients have significant challenges with ongoing toxin exposures including exposure to:
- Pesticides, such as organophosphates
- Mercury and other heavy metals coming from dental fillings and fish
- Phthalates coming from plastic wrap and bottles
Air pollution and water pollution are only a small part of the toxicity story. Many environmental toxins come from household products or exposures such as living next to a golf course.
Other uses where the FIR has facilitated in healing include:
- Brain Fog (we have specialists in Hollywood and Miami)
- Stimulating the immune system
- Systemic pain
- Multiple chemical sensitivities
- Stress management
- Heavy metal poisoning including Mercury
- Fatigue (chronic fatigue specialists)
We believe that the use of far infrared technology is the safest for our patients. It helps the body to eliminate a wide variety of toxins through sweat. This can result in positive changes in your energy, moods, sleep patterns, mental acuity and complexion… just to name a few improvements.
Our infrared sauna also uses poplar, which is a very low toxin wood and the infrared device is low EMF as well.
Please pay attention to your hydration before and after the sauna. It is also very important to focus on your minerals while using the sauna.
You should be especially mindful of your magnesium intake. Also, concentrate on your calcium and potassium; often called the tri-salts. They are essential to a healthy detoxification.
You must listen to your body and pay attention to the information it gives you. Also, please remember that you should always speak with your Rezilir clinician before implementing any changes to your health-care regimen.

The History of Infrared Saunas
Infrared saunas are usually designed to look like traditional saunas, although there is no conduction and convection from the heated air, just radiation. John Harvey Kellogg of Battlecreek, Michigan, invented this type of sauna technology in 1891. His incandescent electric light bath, as it was referred to at the time, promoted healing in the body as the heated bath enabled sweat quicker than other baths at the time.
The infrared sauna caught the attention of King Edward VII of England and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, who both had radiant heat baths set up in their homes. Soon enough, other countries followed suit, and infrared saunas were popping up in public bathhouses. The infrared sauna lost some popularity over time but was revived in the 1970s in Japan. The Japanese started using the dated technology for newborns who needed “soothing warmth therapy” in their neonatal beds.
Infrared light therapy is sought out for faster health results than traditional saunas because the light emitted is directly felt by the body in the form of radiated heat. This means that the room’s air does not need to be heated first.
