FOR WHOM
INFRARED SAUNA CAN BE RISKY
Certain medical conditions may put you at risk when using infrared sauna therapy.Â
This may put you at risk of heat stroke, dehydration, or even loss of consciousness.
If you’re on any prescription medication, consult your doctor about the intended effects and possible side-effects that may be relevant.
Some prescriptions may inhibit sweating, which hinders the body from releasing heat & can lead to a heat stroke.
Children In children, core body temperature rises much faster than in adults due to a higher metabolic rate and the inability to stabilize body temperature by sweating.
Elderly Persons In the elderly, the ability to maintain body temperature decreases because of decreased sweat gland function and circulatory conditions.
Cardiovascular Patients As the heat from the infrared sauna prompts the body to increase metabolic rate, there is risk of putting stress on your heart.
Alcohol & Drug Abuse The use of alcohol and drugs can lead to unconsciousness from the body’s negative reaction to high heat.Â
Inability to Sweat If you have a reduced ability to sweat, it will be harder to regulate core body temperature and cool the body, which can lead to a heat stroke.
Heat Sensitivity If you have an insensitivity /sensitivity to heat, you should avoid the infrared sauna.
Hemophilia If you are prone to excess bleeding, it’s best to avoid infrared sauna therapy as the heat stimulates blood circulation.
Pregnancy If you are pregnant, consult your physician for advice to see if infrared sauna therapy is safe.
Recent Joint Injury If you had a recent joint injury, an infrared sauna session may worsen the swelling of the injury.Â
Implants Implants of all kinds may contain metal pins or artificial joints reflect the infrared sauna rays.
Remember
If you are one of the above, then do not opt for an infrared sauna.
There are even other ways to detoxify your body.
