Far Infrared therapy has made medical news in its use in patients with cardiovascular conditions such as congestive heart failure and angina, as it enhances endothelial nitric oxide, which lowers blood pressure and improves cardiovascular function. Due to the elevation of nitric oxide, the Far-Infrared Sauna has been found to enhance sexual arousal and increase the intensity of orgasm in both genders.
In men, under the right circumstances that extra nitric oxide will help to dilate the key blood vessels serving the penis and erectile function improves. Viagra artificially inhibits the enzyme that normally breaks down nitric oxide resulting in higher nitric oxide levels. In women, If you combine L-arginine (a common amino acid, when used as a gel enhances circulation and sensitivity in the clitoral area) with Far-Infrared Sauna therapy you will get even a better result than with L-arginine alone. Recent research is finding a correlation between the immune system and a healthy, functional sex life.
Studies are showing that arousal and an active sex life may lead to a longer life, better heart health, an improved ability to ward off pain, a more robust immune system and even protection against certain cancers, not to mention lower rates of depression, says Dr. Ronald Glaser, director of the Institute of Behavioral Medicine Research at Ohio State University. Thanks to a better understanding of the biochemistry of arousal, as well as advances in imaging techniques, doctors are closing in on some possibilities why this is so.
Their efforts are leading them to the hormone oxytocin, which may be the key lubricant for the machinery of sex. Known for controlling the muscles of the uterus during childbirth, oxytocin surges up to five times as high as its normal blood level during orgasm. Studies in animals have also revealed oxytocin’s softer side. It is responsible for helping individuals forge strong emotional bonds, earning its name as the cuddle hormone. Released in the brain, oxytocin works in the blood, where it travels to tissues as distant as the uterus, as well as along nerve fibers, where it regulates body temperature, blood pressure, wound healing and relief from pain.
While it is unlikely that oxytocin alone is responsible for sex’s wide-ranging effects on the body, researchers hope that by tracking the hormone they can expose the network of body systems affected by sexual activity and identify other biochemical players along the way.
The Far Infrared Sauna has many benefits including weight-loss, detoxification, cardiovascular conditioning, stress relief, improves the immune system, skin tone and elasticity, alleviates muscle and joint pain as well as improves sexual function.
