The fight against symptoms of Lyme disease can be a lifelong battle and one that’s tough to win. The infection, rash, fever, and fatigue accompanying the disease contraction is just the beginning of what can happen when Lyme disease is left untreated. Symptoms can eventually move towards as serious as losing the ability to move parts of your face, heart palpitations, joint pain, severe headaches, swelling, stabbing or shooting pain, memory problems, and more.
Here’s where infrared saunas come into play, in treating Lyme disease. Many sufferers of Lyme disease have looked into the possibility of getting for themselves an infrared saunas as they’ve also read up on the ways it can minimize and/or at times eliminate symptoms of the condition. Nevertheless, it’s important to have realistic expectations on what is possible with a sauna. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection which originates from the bite of a tick. The ticks receive the bacteria from infected animals, such as deer and mice, and it is then transferred to humans.
Treatment for Lyme disease unfortunately is inconsistent. Early on, someone with Lyme disease may be provided antibiotics however these are not always effective. At that stage, the journey for alternative treatments begin. There’s a lot of relief you can receive from an infrared sauna. The warmth of infrared heat works to soothe joint and muscle pains, complimenting other Lyme disease treatment you may be undergoing. As the heat deeply penetrates your body, it also makes your body a less desirable place for the bacteria to exist in. As your body’s temperature rises, some of the bacteria dies off.
Another area where saunas can help in treating Lyme disease is in the detoxification aspect. Gradually, toxins build up in the body. The bacteria present in people with Lyme disease has potential to create an even greater build-up of toxins. That’s because those of us with Lyme disease are usually having their liver and kidneys working overtime because of the stress of inflammation that comes with an infection. As your liver and kidneys are what detoxifies the body, when they are backed up or when there’s added burden on them, it leaves more toxicity in the body than necessary.
In an infrared sauna, sweating is an effective way to eliminate these toxins. Sweating bypasses your liver and kidneys, releasing the toxins through your pores. Any toxins circulating in the blood are excreted directly through the skin. This works not only for people with Lyme disease but for anyone. For many people suffering from a range of different diseases and conditions, infrared saunas have proven to be very useful in helping to detoxify.
If you’re struggling with symptoms of Lyme disease verging on muscle spasms, chills, mental fog, and overwhelming fatigue, all of this greatly affects the quality of life someone can maintain. Release yourself from the burden of these symptoms by giving yourself some time to relax, de-stress, and regain your strength. That’s what you get when you tap into an infrared sauna’s capabilities.
