A journal article in the Journal of Trauma entitled Fever: Fact and Fiction states that “As the body rids itself of accumulated toxins through regular deep sweating, the immune system’s function grows noticeably stronger. Heating the body increases white blood cell activity. Raising the core temperature of the body disables harmful heat-sensitive microorganisms, eliminating many infections.”
By deep heating the body with radiant heat, the infrared sauna is able to raise the core body temperature by 2 – 3 degrees F. This elevated body temperature acts as an induced fever, and the heat itself can destroy harmful germs and bacteria.
You can also do this in a hot bath. As hot as you can stand for 20 minutes or so. REMEMBER you can add essential oils and Epsom salts for increased health benefits.
