Sweating in an infrared sauna is a proven means of helping your body detox.

By targeting the fat cells in your adipose tissue, toxins that are stored in these cells are broken down and released back into your body to be excreted. 

This is the benefit of infrared sauna detoxification compared to traditional saunas. The infrared light that penetrate the toxin storing cells, accelerating the detoxification process on a cellular level. 

But the process can go a lot further than just ‘sweating’ out the toxins, too. 

The process of the human body fighting toxins to maintain a healthy state is known as homeostasis, and the lymphatic system is extremely effective at it. 

However, some toxins and heavy metals are more difficult to expel than others, which is where toxin binders step into the equation.

You’ve no doubt come into contact with toxin binders, even if you weren’t actively looking for them. 

If you’ve had bowel problems in the past, while you were reaching for that activated charcoal, you were actually reaching for a toxin binder. 

Nowadays, there are a number of toxin binders designed to remove specific toxins and chemicals from the body, but for today, we’ll introduce you to toxin binders and let you research a little further.
