What is "Ganbanyoku"?
Ganbanyoku (岩盤浴) is a traditional Japanese bathing technique that involves lying on heated natural stones. It is believed that ganbanyoku can have beneficial effects on health and beauty, and may help with lifestyle-related conditions, including diabetes.
All ganbanyoku rooms emit far-infrared (FIR) rays and release negative ions. After a session in a ganbanyoku room, you will experience a sense of relaxation combined with renewed energy. Additionally, you will observe a visible change in your skin, which will appear radiant, smooth, and revitalized.
Twice a week for 45 minutes each session is effective in improving various abnormal values.

How does Ganbanyoku work?
The user, wearing special ganbanyoku clothes and using a floor towel, lies on the rock bed, rotating occasionally to ensure total coverage front and back. The far infrared heat penetrates deep beneath the skin surface, it stimulates water molecules and triggers a process called vibrational resonance. Toxins are flushed out of fat cells, blood circulation improves and metabolism increases.
As the body warms up, sweat glands perspire profusely cleansing the body. The process causes the sebaceous glands to secrete copious amounts of sebum that helps restore, condition and protect the skin. The profusion of negative ions amplifies the healing effect and helps reduce stress by inducing a heightened sense of relaxation. Negative ions are odourless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments. Think mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost energy.

What are the health benefits of ganbanyoku?
Ganbanyoku uses naturally generated FIR that deeply penetrates to the cellular level, causing blood capillaries to dilate, stimulating circulation, increasing metabolism between blood and tissue – promoting cell regeneration.
Our stone beds get heated up above 40 degrees celsius by hot water pipes below 24 hours every day, causing them to release FIR and infuse the air with negative ions. Calming, soothing and relaxing, all you need to do is lie down and let nature do its work.

Ganbanyoku Hot Stone Therapy is different from Sauna!
In contrast to a sauna, which heats the body externally, a ganbanyoku hot stone bath warms the entire body from within. Even individuals who are not fond of heat can experience a gentle warming sensation. Additionally, the sweat produced in a sauna originates from sweat glands, whereas the sweat released during a ganbanyoku hot stone bath comes from sebaceous glands, resulting in a finer and smoother texture! This type of sweat, which is not easily released in daily life, is known for its moisturizing properties, earning it the nickname "natural lotion." Sweating in a bedrock bath boosts metabolism, aiding in the elimination of toxins and waste that have built up in the body. It is also believed to be beneficial for various issues, including beauty, weight loss, chills, and swelling.
