I have had an interest in saunas since Dr Rhonda Patrick spoke about them on the Joe Rogan Podcast.<\/p>\n

There’s quite a bit of science to back up the claims for health, recovery and performance. All good things when it comes to MMA<\/p>\n

Saunas in general offer a range of health benefits.<\/p>\n

The abstract from this paper in the Alternative Medicine Review\u00a0<\/a><\/i><\/b>for example states that:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Studies document the effectiveness of sauna therapy for persons with hypertension, congestive heart failure, and for post-myocardial infarction care. Some individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic fatigue, chronic pain, or addictions also find benefit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sauna therapy is great for treating a range of aches & pains, from DOMs (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness – usually post-exercise) to fibromyalgia<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beurer IL 50 Infrared heat lamp 300W <\/span> <\/span><\/h1>\n

Anyway back to this specific infrared lamp.<\/p>\n

You can buy it from Amazon.co.uk here<\/a><\/p>\n

I would describe it as ‘good’. It definitely has anti-inflammatory effects, for example, when I have a sinus headache the swelling in my face and around my eyes is reduced significantly after ten minutes (facing it with my eyes closed).<\/p>\n

However, I’ve used the light on my swollen foot and my wrist with tendonitis and the next day they are still very painful.<\/p>\n

For chronic issues, it doesn’t seem to have any medium to long term effects. If you have multiple areas of pain and inflammation, you have to spend hours – treating each spot for 15 minutes with the light before moving it to the next.<\/p>\n

I would personally advice buying the sleeping bag version if you have the money.<\/p>\n
