Inflammation in the body can be in the form of arthritis or caused by autoimmune disorders, heart conditions, and gastrointestinal disorders, to name a few. There are a few therapies that are especially effective therapies that can ease symptoms and ease inflammation.
Infrared Sauna
A sauna is an excellent therapy to ease inflammatory pain and offers anti-inflammatory benefits as well. The infrared sauna allows you to sweat and increase circulation at a lower temperature than a traditional sauna. Infrared saunas have been found in multiple studies to benefit “high blood pressure, heart failure, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease, headache, type 2 diabetes, and arthritis.” According to this article by the Mayo Clinic – https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/infrared-sauna/faq-20057954
LiveO2
LiveO2 is an exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT) that creates similar effects on the body as hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Flooding the body with high levels of oxygen and alternating to low flow oxygen gets the blood flowing. Inflammatory diseases often slows circulation, cutting off oxygen supply damages tissue and exacerbates the issue. Increased circulation sends oxygen to these damaged areas allowing for recovery and ease of pain. Oxygen therapy is a proven treatment for inflammatory disorders.
