The Circulation Booster
Q. Is The Circulation Booster suitable for everyone?
A. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your healthcare professional. Do not use in first trimester of pregnancy, with an AICD, Pacemaker or with existing DVT. Consult your doctor if you have a history of epilepsy.
Q. I don’t have the time to use The Circulation Booster for 30 minutes per day, how can I get the benefit?
A. You can easily incorporate The Circulation Booster into your day by using it whenever you are in a seated position for more than 10 minutes. Many people choose to use it while watching TV, reading or at the computer.
Q. I suffer from poor circulation. How often can I use The Circulation Booster?
A. We recommend that for best results you use The Circulation Booster for 30 minutes daily. However, you can use The Circulation Booster up to 6 times per day, at up to 1 hour per session. To avoid muscle aches and tiredness, you may need to begin with less time and steadily increase your sessions.
Q. Will I get best results from using The Circulation Booster on the highest setting?
A. If the treatment feels comfortable and you can see and feel your muscles being stimulated you are likely to be on the right intensity setting. Using an intensity setting that is too high can overwork your muscles and reflexes, which may result in pain, fatigue or aggravation of an existing symptom. Likewise, using a setting that is too low will not be beneficial.
Q. Can I leave my socks on?
A. No, the Circulation Booster needs bare skin and will not work through stocks or stockings.

Q. Is canadian hemlock construction better than cedar or other woods?
A. Canadian hemlock is especially selected for The Detox Box as it contains fewer terpines (volatile oils that are lung irritants.) This becomes extremely important if you have allergies, or sensitivities. Most people that purchase canadian hemlock far infrared saunas do so because they either have a health problem or are hoping to prevent one.
Q. Is The Detox Box contraindicated for anybody?
A. Due to the more controlled temperature, far infrared saunas are beneficial to a wider variety of people; however the therapy is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating mothers and those with recent injuries that are still swollen. If you are unsure about your health condition seek advice from a health practitioner.
Q. Are shower facilities required in a clinic situation?
A. We recommend showering immediately after sauna use to avoid re-absorption of toxins. However, we have found that the patient is very reluctant to shower in the doctor’s office and prefers to go directly home to shower. Therefore, most health practitioners have the patient arrive in a sweat suit with a swimsuit underneath. The treatment usually lasts thirty minutes. The patient sits on a towel has his/her feet on a towel and wipes off the perspiration as it occurs. The patient then dons his/her sweat suit and goes home to shower. The re-absorption is minimal.
Q. I have a Bed and Breakfast and want to offer benefits of a sauna. I know the health benefits of far infrared sauna over a regular sauna. Are there other reasons?
A. Yes, The Detox Box costs much less to operate. The canadian hemlock construction is best for your guests because as many as 15% of your guests may be allergic to cedar. Also, the low temperature limits (18 - 60oC) will be healthier for your guests.
