Far Infrared Saunas: Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, and a Healthy Complexion
Since the skin is one of your primary methods of detoxification, the skin is sometimes referred to as the “third kidney”. However, your skin is considerably more complex than the kidney, or any other organ with the exception of the brain. It is made up of blood vessels, nerve endings, pigments, oil glands, hair follicles, cells that inhibit entry to bacteria, and coiled sweat glands. It is crucial to note that death from accumulated poisons occurs in a matter of hours if the skin and its passages are smothered.
A doctor from Finland once wrote, “The best-dressed of foreigners can come into a doctor’s office, and when his/her skin examined, it is found to be rough as bark. On the other hand, as a result of the sauna, the skin of any Finnish worker is supple and healthy.”
Caring for your skin appropriately is paramount in your resistance to various skin maladies such as eczema, athlete’s foot, acne, and other skin disorders. The prolific sweating attained in an infrared sauna carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and flawlessly clean. Skin tone and elasticity are enhanced, and maladies such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and roughness are relieved. Also, keloids develop at a reduced rate in those suceptible to their formation, and can be softened if they have already formed.

Additionally, when sweat production occurs, an increase in body temperature results in heightened production of sebum, the material manufactured by the skin’s sebaceous glands. In people suffering from chloracne, a particular skin disorder caused by chemical exposure, the contributing compounds may be identified both in adipose tissue and in sebum of the skin. Following an adequate number of sessions, an infrared sauna will decrease the body’s burden of fat-soluble toxins. A variety of chlorinated and volatile hydrocarbons have been measured in the sweat of those undergoing infrared sauna therapies, and fat tissue biopsies plainly support this claim.
It is important to note, that while an infrared sauna can enhance the normal bioprocesses associated with the skin, maintaining a healthy complexion goes far beyond ritualistic sauna treatments. The skins outward appearance often mirrors the body’s internal health. Other factors, such as diet, toxic cosmetics, tanning salons, drugs, smoking, alcohol, dehydration, and sleep, all play crucial roles in your overall complexion. One cannot expect to maintain a beautiful complexion if the poor lifestyle choices you make overpower that of your good ones.
