I firmly believe in using Infrared sauna for detoxing the body...it's an excellent protocol to add in to a healthier us...

My question is this; I want to improve this protocol by adding to this protocol. Does anybody know any additions to Infrared sauna, before, during, & after that would enhance this protocol?

Maybe a biofilm buster?

Making sure all your detox pathways are open. I know that the point is to sweat out the toxins, but I'm sure having adequate flow going through, for example, the liver would help.

Other than that, hydration before and after you get in. Dry skin brushing.

A biofilm buster might be of use, depending on the approach you're wanting to take with the sauna. I'd say that the incorporation of such products would be more in the vein of you using the sauna to try and kill the bugs as opposed to help your body process the toxins.

But, what do I know.. really? XD

Should get some more responses eventually.

Question for you NotQuiteAntonio; How does one have adequate flow through the liver? Please add a thought or two.

Well, again, I'm no expert. I don't have the mind for a whole lot of research.

But, simple one, is adequate hydration. After that, I'd say supporting with a proper diet rich in veggies, whatever fruits you can manage, depending any other GI-related issues you might have, as well as herbal supplements like milk thistle, dandelion leaf, etc.

Coffee enemas to flush you out and stimulate bile release.

Commonly mentioned things like that.

It is more than just the liver though. The kidneys and the gut.

I guess I am taking it to more of an overall detoxification picture though, meaning these are things that everyone should want to have functioning optimally, using an infrared sauna or not.

*shrugs*

edit: also, I saw your other post relating to this, and I just want to apologize, as I've realized some of these things you were already aware of. Like I said, this is just basics.

i own a finnish sauna and a portable one. i use them with essential oils / aromatherapy.

I dont know, i would still not overdo it. It is indeed helpful but also it consumes a lot of energy, the body will try hard to keep you cool. Maybe if you are overweight it's a good idea, but almost all lyme ppl are the opposite due to gut issues.

That's why i think 3 times a week is more than enough.

Yeah, I am on the verge of dying from malnourishment. I wish that were wholly a joke.

I forgot to mention, I plan on making a near infrared sauna based on something called a pocket sauna that another member mentioned in one thread or another, I forget who, where, when.

I'd like a far infrared sauna, but I cannot afford one of the good, good ones, and I don't know if I trust the cheaper, more portable models enough to spend $200 of my limited funds on.

I'm more comfortable taking this route, even if it MIGHT not be as effective as a, though I have seen people in assorted places who've expressed their having positive experiences, because I can look right at these pocket saunas and distinguish all the parts that are involved. I know these are things I could easily get my hands on for a lot cheaper as well.

More than that, I'll be making it myself, which is cool.

Kind of took this to a personal, ranty place. I just wanted to share.

I have a Celebration Sauna and love it. It is a bit time consuming because it takes me forever to sweat. It did come with a suggestion of taking a detox bath first to heat the muscles, then go into the sauna and finish it off. For me this works. Like I said, it takes me a VERY long time to sweat (I do glisten a bit, but takes 40 minutes to really sweat at 120 degrees). The detox bath heats up my muscles and gets me sweating quicker. You will feel exhausted afterward, however. And, drink lots and lots of water.

Thank you for all the good ideas...I will try the detox bath & see how it goes...I usually start sweating after 15 minutes now...when I first started, I think I hat to train my body to sweat again...after 3 or 4 times, I started to sweat again...felt very good...Sometimes, I sit in the hot tub before hand too...

Now that I have found this site, I have found its very healthy to write a few thoughts, whether its personal or educational...sharing is healthy, and I appreciate that personal touch notquiteantonio...
