Infrared saunas are EXTREMELY good at helping the body to detox. One of the issues with women and menopause (and especially overweight women) is that they tend to carry around a higher toxic load because toxins are stored in the fat cells. Because of this, the body has a more difficult time keeping hormones balanced (and this can make menopause an even more difficult transition than it needs to be). So regularly detoxing the body by using an infrared sauna can be a helpful addition to other healthy menopause relief approaches, such as herbs and phytoestrogens.
