Ganbanyoku – Japanese Rock Sauna

Ganabanyoku /jap./ - health stone bath.

Heat emitted from volcanic silica stone plates, heated to a comfortable temperature of 42°C, penetrates to a depth of approx. 5 cm, exerting a beneficial effect on body and mind. Black Silica (black volcanic silica) is mined in only one place in the world – in the Hiyama mountains on the island of Hokkaido.

Ganbanyoku means well-being after the first treatment, a natural antidepressant, elimination of cellulite and skin diseases, and improvement of cardiological and autoimmune efficiency.

In our clinic, we offer the possibility of treatment on a bed with a jade-tourmaline mat or a spot treatment on the feet on a black silica plate.

The generated infrared rays deeply warm the subcutaneous layers. This is a different sensation than the heat of a traditional sauna, where the heat is felt only through receptors in the outer skin layer, including internal organs – thus speeding up metabolism, improving blood circulation and oxygenation of our body, and many other benefits.

The heat from the stone sauna penetrates deep into the body, stimulating and simultaneously activating many cellular-level transformations. This directly contributes to cellulite reduction. After heating the skin tissues to a temperature of 38.8ºC, fat begins to bind with water molecules and is removed from the body in the form of sweat along with toxins and heavy metals.

The bio-positive stone sauna is a mild form of natural hyperthermia.

DETOXIFYING EFFECT

It removes dioxins and heavy metals from the body. The stone sauna is many times more effective in removing harmful compounds and heavy metals (e.g., mercury, aluminum, nicotine, ammonia, sulfuric acid) from the body than a traditional sauna. During perspiration through skin pores, harmful or unnecessary substances are excreted.

Using this treatment is also recommended for all kinds of skin diseases (acne, eczema, rashes, psoriasis, burns, skin lesions). Increased blood flow to internal organs and endocrine glands significantly increases their efficiency. Similarly, the removal of toxins from the body increases the metabolism rate, low levels of which cause digestion problems, resulting among others in weight gain. This is important information for people wishing to lose excess weight.

Additionally, the so-called pearl sweat and certain amounts of sebum released during the treatment create a hydrolipidic mantle that provides the skin with exceptional elasticity and softness. Negative ions emitted by natural volcanic rocks cause water droplets to break into smaller, individual molecules. The combination of FIR (Far Infrared Ray) radiation creates a vibration effect that keeps them in this state, enhancing healthy and gentle sweating (easy interaction of single water molecules with skin pores).

The treatment rejuvenates and reduces stress. It relaxes and calms the mind. It cleanses the body of toxins and heavy metals. It is an excellent way for effective detoxification of the skin and the whole body. It is indispensable in slimming processes. During a 45-minute session, cellulite can be reduced.

ANTI-AGING /anti-aging therapy/

Heat and FIR radiation relax, improve sleep, and cleanse the body at the cellular level. Capillaries work more intensively, removing metabolic waste from cells. Dead skin cells are removed with sweat, leaving the skin perfectly clean, shiny, and smooth. Ganbanyoku stimulates skin fibroblasts, supporting the treatment of acne, eczema, and psoriasis, accelerating healing and smoothing scars. It improves skin elasticity, firmness, and tone. The so-called pearl sweat and sebum excreted during the session create a hydrolipidic mantle that acts like a nourishing balm with anti-aging effects.

DEEP RELAXATION, ANTIDEPRESSANT EFFECT AND INCREASED VITALITY

A stone session is a time of deep relaxation. Negative ions emitted by silica plates improve psychophysical condition, enhance mood, reduce negative emotions – anxiety, restlessness, and sadness, and eliminate stress effects. They eliminate sleep rhythm disorders and improve mental resilience. They reduce tension symptoms such as migraine, nausea, diarrhea, tremors, dizziness. This is the most natural therapy with antidepressant and anti-stress effects. It is not only deep physical relaxation but also deep mental relaxation.

GREATER IMMUNITY

FIR radiation stimulates the production of leukocytes and lymphocytes, and negative ions stimulate globulins, responsible for effective immune system functioning. It supports the elimination of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Research conducted by Dr. Gomi and Dr. Oda, eminent immunology specialists, confirms that after just one session in the stone sauna, the activity of NK lymphocytes attacking cancer cells increased by about 30% in the tested group! Thanks to the treatment, susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections decreases, and in case of illness, the body fights the disease faster and it has a milder course.

MUSIC THAT HEALS THE SOUL AND BODY

Relaxation during the treatment is supported by music. We can choose sessions with relaxing Japanese music and sessions with specially composed music therapy pieces.
