  In April 2021, Better Business Bureau questioned Sweat and Glow Sauna's website, www.sweatandglowsauna.com, which stated:

  -"Far Infrared heat detoxes and cleanse the body of built-up toxins and body fat"
  -"Relieve stress and anxiety - naturally increase serotonin (happy feelings) and
  decrease cortisol (stressful feelings)"
  -"Boost metabolism and burn up to 600 calories per hour - without working out!"
  -"Anti-aging - boost collagen and enhance your skins natural glow"
  -"Soothe sore muscles and joints while increasing blood flow and circulation"
  -"Say hello to a goodnights sleep - increase your bodies natural ability to wind down
  and rest"
  -"Reduce inflammation and skin conditions (Eczema, Psoriasis, Acne)"
  -"Low EMF heating"
  - "We believe sweating is the key to detoxification, and detoxification is the key to
  optimal health and energy. Adding sauna sessions to your weekly routine can improve your quality of life in so many ways, from muscle pains, to weight loss, to anxiety, to insomnia, and so much more."
  - "HOW YOUR SAUNA BENEFITS YOUR HEALTH!"
  - "PAIN RELIEF
  Infrared heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. This allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and enhance the healing process. Many customers have found successful in relieving pain from arthritis, rheumatism and muscle spasms."
  - "WEIGHT CONTROL
  Sweating is part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. For the body to create sweat, it requires a large amount of energy. This process reduces excess water retention, salt and stubborn fat. Fat becomes water soluble at 110°F and allows the body to release fat and toxins."
  - "SAME EFFECT AS EXERCISE
  The heart receives a workout similar to a 6-mile run in a 20-30 minute infrared sauna session and produces a similar amount of sweat. Infrared saunas are perfect for those that do not have time for regular exercise or suffer from injuries that inhibit activity."

  - "ELIMINATE TOXINS
  Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel) accumulate in the body during modern daily life. Sweating naturally rids the body of toxins but at a slow rate. Infrared heat stimulates the sweat glands to cleanse and detoxify the skin at a higher rate. Sauna sessions speed up the process and remove build up toxins that would otherwise continue to build in the body if not released."

  - "IMPROVE IMMUNE SYSTEM
  Most illnesses are accompanied by a fever. During a fever, the body heats up to eliminate viruses and attack foreign agents. Often misunderstood, this rise in temperature is a natural stage of the immune system's healing process and is one of the best ways to rid the body of chemicals and unwelcome visitors. The immune system weakens the hold of viruses and bacterial growth. Infrared heat induces a fever like signal by heating up the body but without the pains of an illness. Subsequently, the body wards off invading organisms much more easily because the immune system is activated consistently by the "artificial fever". Sauna sessions are a great way to reduce your risk of illness during cold and flu season"
  - "REDUCE STRESS
  Infrared heat loosens the muscles and relaxes the body. It naturally soothes the parasympathetic nervous system and signals the brain to induce a calm state. It's the perfect way to shut down the fight-or-flight sympathetic nervous system which is highly active due to stresses of our environment."
  - "RENEW SKIN
  Infrared heat improves circulation, expels dirt & chemicals and removes dead cells on the surface of the skin. All of these benefits lead to a more soft, firm, and glowy complexion"
  - "CAN I REALLY LOSE WEIGHT FROM THIS SAUNA?
  Perspiring is part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes water soluble at 110oF and the body sweats out fats and toxins. The heart receives a workout similar to a 6-mile run in a 20-30 minute FIR sauna session and the body perspires the same amount as a 6-mile run."
  -“$197”
  -“…we always offer the best price…”
