What is sweat therapy all about?
Sweat is produced by glands in the deeper layer of the skin, the dermis. Sweat glands occur all over the body. Sweat is mainly water, but it also contains some salts. Its main function is to control body temperature. It does this by evaporating, which causes the surface of the skin to cool. When we apply infrared heat we sweat more, promoting health benefits.
