Celebration Saunas intended use which, as part of a healthy lifestyle, may help living well with certain chronic diseases or conditions.

Our Biophoton infrared saunas work by penetrating the body at the cellular level. Infrared rays are selectively absorbed by cells and tissues needing a boost in their output. The internal production of infrared energy that normally occurs at the cellular level within our tissues is associated with a multitude of healing responses and a boost to a maximum level ensures the fullest healing response possible in a tissue that is being repaired. After boosting cellular energy to its maximum, the remaining far-infrared rays pass on harmlessly.
Celebration Saunas intended use which, as part of a healthy lifestyle, may help living well with certain chronic diseases or conditions. A Biophoton Far Infrared Sauna gently and safely warms the body temporarily increasing blood flow to stretch every muscle providing oxygen-rich, nutrient-rich blood through the microcirculatory system to promote direct action on both free-nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves to reduce muscle spasms, soreness, swelling, and improve lymphatic delivery. The application of Far Infrared to an injury improves the existing symptoms of pain but also reduces the risk of future strain and injury.
*All topics and conclusions of the health benefits of infrared saunas have been thoroughly researched by Celebration Saunas but results can vary.

Abstract
To study the effects of infrared (IR) Sauna, a form of total-body hyperthermia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients were treated for a 4-week period with a series of eight IR treatments. Seventeen RA patients and 17 AS patients were studied. IR was well tolerated, and no adverse effects were reported, no exacerbation of disease. Pain and stiffness decreased clinically, and improvements were statistically significant (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001 in RA and AS patients, respectively) during an IR session. Fatigue also decreased. Both RA and AS patients felt comfortable on average during and especially after treatment. In the RA and AS patients, pain, stiffness, and fatigue also showed clinical improvements during the 4-week treatment period, but these did not reach statistical significance. No relevant changes in disease activity scores were found, indicating no exacerbation of disease activity. In conclusion, infrared treatment has statistically significant short-term beneficial effects and clinically relevant period effects during treatment in RA and AS patients without enhancing disease activity. IR has good tolerability and no adverse effects.
