Hi, it's Dr. Parvez. I am sitting in our infrared sauna. This is a no sweat sauna. So again, unlike some of the saunas at the gym, I mean you can keep all your clothes on and just sit inside. It does not get so heated that it's going to make you sweat. That way you don't lose fluids or stress your body. And the way the sauna is designed is because your chest, your heart and your brain are outside. So it's not like being 100% enclosed in a sauna room. Therefore you can actually sit in this for longer periods of time. The infrared is extremely good for detoxifying the body, for boosting immunity. And it doesn't detoxify just by the heat itself because you're not sweating, although sweat is a way of detoxifying. But you may actually notice that you go to the bathroom afterwards. And so it actually they've done studies with NASA and other other agencies that test the levels of toxins in the urine. For example, mercury and heavy metals were actually found more in the urine after doing infrared sauna sessions. So this is actually a critical component to wellness. Infrared is some of the radiation that we get from the sun's natural light. And so like when you go to the beach or you're outside in the sun sometimes why you feel so good, that warmth, it's not the heat that directly heats from inside. It's a slower, gentler heat radiation that penetrates your body. As I said, it helps with boosting your immunity, increasing your white blood cells. It puts you in a more relaxed, parasympathetic, rest and digest mode so your body can heal. It helps with pain too. And our sauna, you can recline back a little bit. We also have in here it's very easy to control the temperature and the time here it goes up from, it goes from 90 to 170 degrees and that's the max. And actually most of the saunas in the steam rooms, in the gym, they're at 175 to 185 degrees. So this is lower temperature than that in here. We also have, we've put a little bit of a reflexology foot massager in here also for you to relax further while you're in the sauna. And then the back portion, like I said, you can recline and it's heated for your back and you can turn it off if you want if you get too hot there. Again, it's a really important part for wellness, health, relaxation, which we like to promote. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.
