Ganbanyoku (Japanese) or “rock bath” is a traditional Japanese rock sauna that increases vital energy levels, improves wellbeing and body shape. The heat emitted from the volcanic silica stone slabs, heated to a comfortable temperature of 42°C, penetrates to a depth of approximately 5 cm, exerting a beneficial effect on the body and mind. Black Silica (black volcanic silica) is only mined in one place in the world – the Hiyama Mountains on the island of Hokkaido. Enjoy a unique Ganbanyoku today – at Studio Sante Warsaw!
During a session at Ganbanyoku, your body is operating at maximum capacity. You lie on the heated Black Silica slabs listening to soothing music and fully relax, while your heart pumps blood intensely, you sweat and burn calories! During one 60-minute session, up to 800-1200 calories can be burned. This is equivalent to running 8-12 km or rowing for half an hour. Under the influence of FIR radiation, fat is dissolved and then excreted with sweat. Toxins and heavy metals are removed along with it. Ganbanyoku is an excellent detoxification of the body on many levels. During the session, it gets rid of harmful substances that have an adverse effect on the function of many organs and often block the weight loss process. With Ganbanyoku, your metabolism speeds up, making it easier to lose weight! FIR radiation penetrates three times deeper into the tissues than happens during traditional saunas, effectively reducing cellulite. Before Ganbanyoku, weight loss had never been so effective and so enjoyable!
During a Ganbanyoku session, blood circulation is increased, accelerating all cellular processes. Cellular metabolism is accelerated, allowing the body to remove metabolic products more quickly. FIR radiation also stimulates the lymphatic system, responsible for removing toxins from the tissues. If it works efficiently, it also helps to remove toxins from fat cells, thus aiding weight loss. One of the most important routes through which the body cleanses itself is the skin, as its surface area in an adult is as much as 1.5-2m2. During a Ganbanyoku session, the heat penetrates deeply into the tissues, causing a gradual release of so-called pearly sweat and its removal through the skin. Along with it, heavy metals and toxins (mercury, aluminium, nicotine, ammonia, sulphuric acid) and substances formed from the breakdown of fatty compounds are removed from the body. The body also gets rid of dioxins, which are toxic organic chemicals produced under stress. Regular sessions in the rock sauna also cleanse the skin of toxins and any impurities, making it look prettier and younger.
The heat and FIR radiation relax, promote better sleep and cleanse the body at a cellular level. The capillaries, which drain the metabolic products from the cells, work more intensively. With sweat, dead skin cells are removed and the skin is left impeccably clean, shiny and smooth. Ganbanyoku stimulates the skin’s fibroblasts, thus supporting the treatment of acne, eczema and psoriasis, accelerating healing and smoothing scars. Improves elasticity, firmness and skin tone. The so-called pearly sweat excreted during the session and large amounts of sebum form a hydrolipidic film, acting as a nourishing anti-ageing balm. The skin becomes soft and supple and the hair smooth and silky. To fully benefit from the rejuvenating effects of Ganbanyoku, do not shower for about 2 hours after the session. The result is improved beauty, a visible relaxing effect and rejuvenated skin!
A Ganbanyoku session is a time of deep relaxation. The negative ions emitted by the silica plates improve the psychophysical condition, improve the mood, reduce negative emotions – fear, anxiety and sadness, and neutralise the effects of stress. They eliminate sleep disturbances and improve mental resilience. They reduce symptoms of tension such as migraine, nausea, diarrhoea, tremor, dizziness. The Japanese sauna is the most natural therapy with antidepressant and anti-stress effects. It is not only a deep relaxation of the body, but also a profound mental relief! A Ganbanyoku session will make you find inner harmony and feel happy!
Black Silica emits far-infrared radiation (FIR) and negative ions, known as “vitamins from the air.” Negative ions are a natural antioxidant – they break down and remove toxins from the bloodstream. FIR radiation strengthens the cardiovascular system. It works on the subcutaneous tissue, fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints to remove tension. Ganbanyoku is an ideal treatment not only for people with sedentary lifestyles, but also for athletes. The combined action of negative ions and FIR revitalises the skin, aids weight loss, relieves back and shoulder pain, lowers blood pressure, boosts immunity, helps with pollen allergies, diabetes, constipation, menstrual disorders, rheumatism and arthritis.
Deep relaxation at Ganbanyoku is supported by relaxing music, emitted at a frequency of 432 Hz. The brighter, softer, yet clearer sound is much more pleasing to the ears. It transports you to a wonderful state where relaxation is natural. It fills us with a sense of inner peace and expands our awareness. Resonating at the optimum frequency for the human organism, it unites the body and consciousness with Nature. It makes us feel happy and relaxed. Working in the heart chakra, it supports spiritual development. It releases energy and opens the way to spiritual freedom. It has a soothing effect on the mind, body and emotions. It brings you into a state of connection with the Absolute, because it is the most primordial and natural frequency of the Cosmos. It facilitates sleep and meditation, dismissing stress, tension and aggression. While relaxing in the Goldarium, you will also hear Johann Sebastian Bach’s Aria on a G string in this frequency, reflecting – as the composer intended – the musical harmony of the Universe.
Contact with Black Silica positively stimulates the body and improves health and well-being. Under the influence of radiant heat, capillaries dilate, which stimulates blood flow throughout the body. The body is oxygenated, which increases its vitality. The Ganbanyoku session supports the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms, which – thanks to the stimulated circulation – are cleansed of toxins and heavy metals more quickly. Ganbanyoku also cleanses the mind of harmful thoughts and the heart of negative emotions.
FIR radiation stimulates the production of leukocytes and lymphocytes, while negative ions stimulate the production of globulins, responsible for the effective functioning of the immune system. Supports the elimination of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Research conducted by Dr Gomi and Dr Oda, renowned specialists in the field of immunology, confirms that after just one session in Ganbanyoku, the activity of NK lymphocytes, which attack cancer cells, increased by as much as approximately 30% in the study group! With Ganbanyoku, susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections is reduced, and if you do fall ill, your body fights off the disease more quickly and it has a milder course.
