Hyperthermia (infrared sauna for cancer management) - How Can It Help?

113 F Hyperthermia, which is also called thermotherapy or thermal therapy is a kind of cancer therapy in which tissues of the body are exposed to high temperature, up to 113 F. High temperatures can kill and damage cancer cells normally with minimal injury to normal tissues. Hyperthermia shrinks tumors by damaging structures and proteins within cells and kill cancer cells.

Three methods A number of methods of hyperthermia are contemporarily used under study, which includes: localized hyperthermia, regional hyperthermia, and whole body hyperthermia. In localized hyperthermia, heat is adapted to a small area (like a tumor) using different methods that bring energy to heat the tumor. In regional hyperthermia, many approaches might be used to heat large sizes or areas of tissue, such as an organ, limb or body cavity. Whole body hyperthermia is used to conduct metastatic cancer that has increased throughout the body.

An infrared sauna, which produces heat from the radiant energy, heats the way the sun does, but without producing the harmful ultraviolet rays. Since the body is heated completely from the inside as well as outside, it stimulates toxin elimination. An infrared sauna is not just helpful to shrink tumors but also deals with cancer pain.

Localized Hyperthermia Localized Hyperthermia is used for the treatment of malignant tumors since due to poor blood circulation, such tissues are easily affected by the change in temperature.
