ABOUT FIR
TECHNOLOGY

MAIN MODE OF ACTION

Using far infrared energy
between 7 micron - 15
micron it increases core
body temperature causing
the body to sweat
When core body
temperature is increased
there is concomitant
increase of heart rate &
peripheral vasodilatation

CARDIOVASCULAR
&

WEIGHT LOSS

The scientific mechanism of FIR was strongly
suggested in the 1998 Nobel prize in Medicine

Award.
Scientist Murad, Furchgott and Ignaro found that
nictric oxide gas which is released into the blood
from hemoglobin, turns on the immune system

and allows healing to take place.

Dr. Valentino Fuster, a past president of
The American Heart Association, called
the nitric oxide discovery,
“ one of the most important discoveries

in
The history of cardiovascular medicine
because it promotes expansion of the
capillaries and allows blood to get into

the area to increase circulation and
reduce risk of strokes and heart
attacks”.

Extensive research by NASA in the early 1980’s led to
the conclusion that infrared stimulation of
cardiovascular function would be the ideal way to
maintain cardiovascular conditioning in American
astronauts during long space flights.

5

09/01/19

The August 7, 1981 issue of
the Journal of the American
Medical Association reported
"regular use of a sauna
may impart a similar stress
on the cardiovascular
system, & its regular use
may be as effective for
cardiovascular conditioning
& burning of calories as
regular exercise

A published study in The
Journal of the American
College of Cardiology, 2001
shows infrared
sauna therapy significantly
lowered blood pressure, weight
loss, lowered blood sugar,
increased blood flow, lowered
cholesterol and lowered
triglycerides.

“Saunas are an important aid to weight loss and

thyroid repair because as you lose weight, fat tissue
releases stored toxins such as PCB’s and pesticides.”

~Dr. Mark Hyman, author of NY Times best selling
book “Ultrametabolism”

The far infrared sauna (FIRS) has
been proven by specialists at
the famed Mayo Clinic to
improve heart failure, even
when nothing more could be
done by medicine.
And in Japan, clinicians and
researchers have confirmed its
life-saving properties when

nothing else could be done (Tei,
Kihara, Imamura).

DETOXIFICATION

“Saunas and heat therapies are an ancient method
of cleansing. Today, the Environmental Protection Agency
has shown that FIR Sauna therapy increase excretion of
heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, and fat soluble
chemicals PCB’s, PBB’s, and HCB’s ~ Dr. Mark Hayman

Peer reviewed literature shows
that sweating during FIR sauna
therapy eliminates high levels of
toxic metals, organic
compounds, dioxin, and other
toxins. Sauna therapy is ideal to
mobilize toxins from their hiding
places.~ Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt

A German physical
educationist, Dr.
Ernst, concludes
athletes excrete
these potential
cancer causing
elements from their
bodies by
sweating.
He also conclude it is necessary to
sweat profusely at least once a day to maintain
good health!

“ One of the best passive exercises is the radiant
heat of an infrared sauna which, causes a profound
deep sweat.“ Dr. Robert O. Young

The Canadian researchers invited all Type 2 Diabetics at the
Fraser Lake Community Health Center to participate in a study &
all they had to do was sit in the far infrared sauna for 20 minutes 3
times a week for 3 months.
Researchers found that many areas measured on that survey
improved: general health, physical health, stress levels, fatigue
levels and even social functioning. The scientists concluded that
not only did the sauna use improve the quality of life of these
people but it also was a lot easier to do compared to other
lifestyle interventions. (Source: J Alternative Complementary
Medicine, June 2010, Vol. 16, No. 6, pg 677-81.)

“When my daughter installed the FIR in the house, my husband was
very wary of it. It took him awhile to start using it. Now he raves
about its greatness & proudly shows all his friends who visit us and
promotes it. He finds it has reduced his varicose veins, his
hypertension problems as he is now off medication and his quality of

sleep has improved. ~ Mrs. Sathia ”

I have been suffering from muscle pain in my left thigh
more than a year. With massage and other therapy
there was no improvement. However after just 5 sessions
in Zazen FIR Sauna, the muscle pain has completely
gone and healed. I feel more energetic and fresh after
Each session of Zazen FIR sauna ~ Yeoh Boon Siong

Before I started Zazen FIR, I was obese with
injuries on both my ankles and my left
knee.
The Zazen FIR, helped me loose calories
efficiently by just sitting inside the cabin.
After 2 months, I was able to run between
40 minutes to an hour, 3-5 times a week
with no pain. My metabolic age reduced,
body fat % reduced, my metabolic rate
increased. This was something I could not
achieve before but within the last four
months of regular sitting in the sauna...all
this was possible.
What I like most about the cabin is also my
skin is smoother, softer and glowing - Julie
