HEALTH BENEFIT CLINICAL STUDIES:
Lowers Blood Pressure:
· A University of Missouri, Kansas City study found mPulse saunas to be clinically proven to lower diastolic and systolic blood pressure
· Via 3 weekly 30 minute sessions
· Infrared sauna therapy dilated blood vessels
· Reduced volume of blood vessel inner-lining
· Increased circulation to promote healthier blood pressure
· A Journal of Cardiology study found that infrared sauna therapy reduced the cardiac size in chronic heart failure patients
· Repeated treatments improved impaired blood cells and blood vessel function for patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol
· No dangerous side effects were reported in the studies

Weight Loss:
· A Canadian Journal of Diabetes study found that infrared sauna therapy can induce weight loss and reduce waist circumference
· Especially for patients forced to be sedentary due to medical conditions
· Results within a 3 month period
· A Journal of the American College of Cardiology study found that a 30 minute infrared sauna weight loss session can burn up to 600 calories
· During a weight loss session the body’s core temperature increases
· Body works harder to cool itself
· Study found that sauna therapy increases heart rate, metabolic rate, and cardiac output
· Causes the body to burn more calories
· Blood flow rises from a normal 5-7 quarts per minute to up to 13 quarts per minute
· Equal to a passive cardio workout

Pain And Inflammation:
· A University of Southern California study found that infrared sauna wavelengths penetrate the body to create heat
· Increases blood flow to the muscles
· Delivers more concentrated oxygen, which creates more energy to heal
· A Journal of Internal Medicine study showed that chronic pain patients experienced a significant reduction in pain levels (nearly 70%) after the first session of infrared sauna therapy
· Pain scores also decreased significantly and remained low throughout the observation period
· A NASA study measuring infrared heat determined that LED technology allows for deep penetration of tissue and increased cell growth from the inside
· Sunlighten’s mPulse series is the only sauna on the market that offers LED-based near infrared heat at this proven level
· A Department of Dermatology and Institute of Medical Research showed that use of near-infrared heat therapy helped the production of white blood cells to alleviate inflammation and reduce swelling
· Two key factors in easing bodily pain
