How infrared boosts your immune system

Updated: Jul 11, 2020

Its that time of year when we experience cooler weather, cold and flu season, and now the infamous Coronavirus. As the temperature drops, viruses spread more efficiently since they thrive in cold climates. They spread like wildfire in highly populated areas like offices, schools, airports through even just a sneeze! These colds can often be avoided by strengthening your immune system so it can fight the illnesses with its full strength. There are endless home remedies, over-the-counter medications that can assist in strengthening your immune system during this vulnerable time of year. However, one method has proven especially useful: the use of an infrared wrap.


Things that weaken the human immune system are little to no exercise, malnutrition, lack of sleep, excess stress, and a combination of any of these. These things are unavoidable at times, and we may need some immune support. While infrared use directly benefits the immune system, it also provides you with a multitude of health benefits when it comes to detoxification, stress, sleep, and improves your overall well being.


One of the benefits of an infrared wrap that specifically help to strengthen your immune system is an increase production of white blood cells. The heat generated by an infrared session stimulates at a cellular level, which, in turn, increases the body's production of white blood cells. These cells form a component of your blood and act as your immune systems first line of defense when infection strikes. When a harmful substance enters your body, white blood cells detect it and control the response of the immune system. Increase production of white blood cells, as stimulated by infrared use, can help the body to fight off illnesses more effectively. Fevers help your body to fight off infection by allowing specific immune cells to work more efficiently and effectively. Exposure to high temperatures gives the cells the ability to destroy virus-infected cells and tumor cells.


Another significant benefit as to why people like to Purify is because of the detoxification. When your body does not sweat enough, it holds onto harmful toxins, impurities, and chemicals. Our body rids of these things through sweating. These toxins come from the air we breathe, foods we consume, liquids we drink, and beauty products that we apply to our skin. By eliminating these toxins efficiently, it is one of the best ways to stay healthy and support your immune system. Flush those toxins out of the body so that the immune system has less to fight off if you notice a little glow in your skin after your Purify session that is visible evidence that your body's largest organ has been purified and detoxified.


Purifying can also strengthen the immune system by stimulating cell regeneration. This can help the body to dispose of cells that might be old, ineffective, damaged, and replace them with new cells. Over time all cells are regenerated in the body. But the heat from the infrared catalyzes the regeneration process and ensures all bodily systems are working smoothly. This is great during cold and flu season when the body is being attacked more frequently.


The deeply penetrating infrared heat promotes blood circulation throughout the entire body. It provides oxygen-rich nutrients to your extremities. The increased circulation pumps the blood towards the outside surface of your body, taking with it any bacteria or other illness-causing substances. A better flow of circulation also helps the heart, arteries, and muscles.


Lastly, high-stress levels often cause you to get sick. Excess levels of cortisol, the hormone that is released when the body is stressed, can weaken your immune systems ability to fight off harmful bacteria and viruses. Regularly Purifying can balance cortisol levels and relaxes the mind and body. Book a session today at Purify and allow the infrared to create a healthy flow from within and strengthen your immune system.
