When you discover someone you love is affected by autism, it’s natural to do research and discover any way possible to help alleviate some of the issues those with autism encounter. Here’s some very good news: regular infrared sauna use may be helpful.

One of the issues associated with autism is the buildup of heavy metals in the body. Heavy metals (mercury, aluminum and cadmium) are linked to some of the behavioral problems linked to this condition.

Infrared saunas have been found to be very effective in detoxification associated with these heavy metals. Why? Several reasons have been identified:

1. Infrared saunas heat the body quicker than a traditional sauna. Because of this, it will stimulate cell detoxification rapidly, helping to sweat and excrete heavy metals. The body stores a lot of toxins in fat cells—cells infrared sauna use can help permeate directly.
2. Infrared saunas produce a different quality of sweat. When you sweat in an infrared sauna, you will sweat less water and increase toxin excretion to 20%. This type of therapy allows great toxin elimination in a shorter sauna session—important when it may be difficult to keep a child calm for a longer period.
3. Infrared saunas can help your body boost its immune system. By increasing body temperature, the sauna can create a “fake fever”, which has antiviral & antibacterial benefits. Certain bacteria and parasites can be killed off—vital for helping minimize bacterial overgrowth in the digestive tract.
4. Increasing blood circulation allows more oxygen delivery to cells and tissue which will help speed removal of toxins from cells through sweat.
