I have been thinking about buying a Far Infrared Sauna "" href="/c/?/forums/f.asp?f=454">FIR sauna to help with detox. I keep seeing the following cautions:
Raising the core temperature may be contraindicated for individuals with adrenal suppression etc.
Does anyone know anything more about this? A few years ago I was dx'd with adrenal fatigue. It comes and goes but I would like to know why this would be bad. Thanks!!
I have read that extreme temperatures can put stress on the adrenals. I believe this from my own experience too.
I have never done well in temperatures of over 90 Degrees.
Living in the hot Arizona desert for 20+ years ...summer after summer, made me more tired and light headed. People with adrenal fatigue usually have low blood pressure and heat only makes this worse. I was always more light headed when it is hot. Now, my husband and I live in Oklahoma and the summers here are hot too.
I don't go out doing errands in the heat of the day...I wait till early evening to do my shopping, if possible.
I also do not do well in the hot tub at the fitness center. Just remember extreme temps put a stress on the body as well. If I had my way, I'd be living in a much cooler climate.

I have been reading Sherry Rogers "Detox or Die" and she advocates Far Infrared Sauna "" href="/c/?/forums/f.asp?f=454">FIR sauna for the best Detox methods especially since a FIR uses a lower temp than regular sauna.
I was hoping to utilize a FIR sauna because Adrenal fatigue could have been exacerbated by exposure to pesticides either once or many times over the course of several years. I have stupidly done this and am wondering if this indeed has contributed GREATLY to my AF.
Yes the low BP is a BIG red light that no mainstream doctor has ever been able to pick up. Low BP does "run in the family" so I previously did not pay attention to this until I was dx'd a few years ago. I followed the regimen the ND gave me and was starting to feel MUCH better only to be sidelined by 2 more major stressful events in my life over the last couple of years.
I AM DETERMINED to turn this around. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am sure there are so many out there that feel like this. It is very debilitating and depressing when you can't do anything or enjoy this short life God gave you.
I hope it goes well with you than. I am with you on being sick and tired of being sick and tired. I believe I've had adrenal issues for the past 15 years. Many stressors have played into the progression, spinal mennengitus, moving 12 times, married to a highway patrolman ( his job stress did effect me too) eating to many sweets over the years, exercising to hard and to much to obtain a perfect figure.....having 3 major surgeries...the list goes on.
Like you, I am determined with God's help to become totally whole, so I can enjoy just being healthy and enjoying my life with my husband and being a blessing to others.
I am in the process of a severe 3rd stage of adrenal fatigue. It's been a whole year already of doing all that I know ( from reading, phone consults with Dr. Lam, my naturopathic doctor, etc. ) My thyroid also is going to be addressed, as it is now impaired due to the adrenal fatigue over the years. I've had extensive blood work done and just got all the results back, indicating adrenal fatigue, reverse thyroid impairment, low aldersterone levels, very low serotonin levels, and a few more.
I take it one day at a time, and pretty much stay focused on on day.
The body will heal if given the right things and rest.
The worse off it is, I know, the longer it will take to get better. I will remain patient and optomistic and pray to my great Father for healing.

i'd like to know also because i bought one for liver detoxification although i think hormones supplied by the adrenals control the electrolyte level in the body and i have been having some of my old dry mouth/need to urinate frequently symptoms so i have decided to give the sauna a rest for now
