SUPPORTING AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE WITH INFRARED SAUNA, COLD PLUNGING AND FLOAT THERAPY AT PURE SWEAT

A New Year for Stronger Immunity

The new year is an ideal time to refocus on immune health, especially for the nearly 1 in 10 people living with an autoimmune condition. 

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, resulting in a range of debilitating symptoms. 

While Pure Sweat doesn’t medically diagnose autoimmune conditions, we support many clients in managing their autoimmune disease symptoms through detoxification, reduced inflammation, and stress relief. Our goal is to help our clients regain a healthier, happier life. 

Learn more how we support clients with autoimmune conditions through infrared sauna, float therapy, and contrast therapy.

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease that mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, causing it to underproduce thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism). It is one of the most common autoimmune diseases among women. Symptoms include chronic inflammation, fatigue, sensitivity to cold, joint pain, and weight gain.

Infrared sauna provides an effective companion for our many clients with Hashimoto’s, helping them reduce inflammation and joint pain, boost circulation and metabolism, and increase energy. By raising core body temperature, the thyroid gland doesn’t have to work as hard to manage metabolism and warmth.

Learn more through our own client’s Hashimoto’s testimony, who experienced an immediate reduction in brain fog, pain, and weight gain through a 3x a week infrared sauna practice.

MTHFR

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, or MTHFR, is a gene mutation that can disrupt folate metabolism.  A common condition of MTHFR is the inability to detox, which can lead to increased toxic load and even autoimmune disease.

At Pure Sweat, we welcome many clients with MTFHR who regularly use our full-spectrum, infrared sauna therapy to detoxify and reduce inflammation. Some even remark they are sweating for the first time!

The FAR infrared light therapy penetrates deep into fat and tissues, where toxins are tightly trapped, breaking them apart so they can be released through sweat. Infrared sauna therapy also mobilizes the flow of lymph, a fluid that helps remove waste products from the body's tissues. 

Our Near-infrared wavelength activates mitochondria to produce energy (ATP) more efficiently. This energy boost is vital for powering methylation, liver clearance, and DNA repair processes that are often sluggish in individuals with MTHFR mutations.

Fibromyalgia + Rheumatoid Arthritis

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and anxiety. Its exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to involve how the brain and nerves process pain signals, leading to increased pain sensitivity. 

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints and body. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and stiffness, which can also impair range of motion over time.

Pure Sweat supports many clients suffering from fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis with float therapy and contrast therapy with cold plunging. Some even share it is the only time they are relieved of pain. 

The weightlessness of float therapy removes all pressure from the body, joints, and muscles, reducing pain signals to the brain. The high density of Epsom salt dissolved in pristine, warm water provides deep magnesium supplementation for recovery and relaxation. 

Contrast therapy combines the healing powers of infrared sauna’s mid wavelength, targeting muscles and joints to relieve pain and inflammation, with cold plunging to boost muscle recovery and endorphins. Cold plunging also teaches mental resilience, a powerful tool when combating daily pain.

Start the Year with Intention

Strong immune health begins with consistent, supportive habits. Whether you’re navigating an autoimmune condition or simply aiming to feel your best, Pure Sweat offers restorative therapies and a supportive environment that nurture your body’s natural ability to reset, recover, and repair. When you feel good, life is good!
