Every heard of Zazen Far Infrared (FIR) treatments? It basically is a wave lenght of light from the sun, and amongst all the rays from the sun, FIR are the safest and most benefitial ones. We’ve been hearing about it for quite awhile, but decided to try it out first hand at D’Costa Wellness Centre, which is a branch that provides Zazen Far Infrared sauna treatments situated in Petaling Jaya. To be honest, we were quite skeptical as we’ve never thought it was possible for something as relaxing 9and as easy) as sitting in a sauna, to have so many health and beauty perks until we tried it for ourselves and were extremely impressed!
Here are some of the benefits of the Far Infrared sauna treatment:
– It stimulates blood circulation which increases metabolism, promotes tissue regeneration and reduces cramps.
– It helps keep your body and skin hydrated, hence you’ll have super soft skin and also, reduces hair loss as it helps with your scalp as well.
– It penetrates 4-5 centimeters into the middle layer of your skin, from the muscles into the blood vessels, lymphatic glands and nerves. This helps gives your skin a deep pore cleansing, which improves skin tone (evens skin tone),removes roughness, helps reduce acne and scar marks, loosens dead outer skin, and also helps with eczema.
– It helps with weight loss as well. A half an hour sauna session, is equavulent to a 5km run. Each session allows you to lose about 800 calories. (and all you have to do is sit down!) The FIR sauna is a form of ‘passive exercise’. It’s beneficial for those who do not or cannot exercise, yet want to maintain a healthy level of fitness.
– Helps with fast healing. Open wounds, regulates insulin, helps with joint aches and aging.
– Reduces acidicty in the body. Over acidity can become a dangerous condition that will cause weakening in body systems. FIR helps the body maintain a stable balance of pH which allows normal body function.
The whole experience is very relaxing as all you have to do is sit and let the heat do all the work. Again, we were slightly worried about the heat but it was extremely bareable. You can read a book, or even talk on your handphone (or play games!) while in the sauna as it is supposed to be as relaxing experience as possible. What’s not to love about being relaxed but getting so many benefits by just sitting down?
