Hyperthermia, also known as heat therapy, fever therapy or sweat therapy, helps your body both cleanse and heal itself. A great healer once said, “Give me the power to create a fever and I can cure any disease”. In the past, healers observed that people suffering from diverse ailments were cured following a high fever. By creating an artificial fever, these healers would help the patient quite literally sweat the disease out of their system. Nowadays, fever is thought of as an undesirable symptom because it increases our discomfort – therefore it is artificially reduced using drugs such as aspirin. Imagine that our body is trying to heal itself and instead of helping it, we hinder it by taking drugs to undo the healing process.
What are the benefits of hyperthermia?
Heat draws out toxins, helps clean clogged pores, kills harmful bacteria and viruses, increases circulation and enhances the immune system. Hyperthermia stimulates cellular activity and increases metabolism. Circulation, tissue rebuilding and healing are also increased. Injuries heal faster with heat. Have you ever used a heating pad to help heal muscle aches and pains? In short, hyperthermia stimulates all body functions.
Although we do not think of our skin as an organ, it can be thought of as one of the biggest elimination organs in our bodies. It has the ability to eliminate toxins and waste through its pores. The basic goal of hyperthermia or heat therapy is to increase the body’s temperature over a short duration to cause your body to sweat profusely, thus cleansing toxins out of your pores. Additionally, the increased body temperature will help your body heal itself from many ailments.
What precautions do I need to take with hyperthermia therapy?
Whatever treatment method you choose, make sure to properly hydrate yourself before any hyperthermia treatment and drink 1-2 glasses of cool water immediately after treatment. Remember the objective is to release toxins through sweating, so you will dehydrate much faster than with other cleansing therapies.
