As the infrared rays penetrate into the body, they cause a heating effect deep in the muscles and organs. This causes the metabolic rate to increase and perspiration begins. As a result, the toxins that have been stored in our system are released.
At 43˚C (110˚F), human body fat starts to liquefy and leaves your body through transpiration. You can easily produce up to half a litre of transpiration in one session.
