HOW IT WORKS
Infrared Saunas differ from traditional saunas in that they use infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate into
the body's tissue to produce perspiration.
Traditional saunas use steam to heat the air inside the sauna, which then heats your body until you begin to
perspire. In order for this to be effective, temperatures would need to reach in the upwards of 190 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Infrared saunas only need a temperature of up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to obtain the same
effect. This lower temperature makes the environment more tolerable and allows you to breathe easier.
BENEFITS
Because infrared rays penetrate the body through conversion, there is a deep heating effect in both the muscle
tissues and internal organs without putting too much burden on the heart.
Our body reacts to the increased heating through the
natural cooling process of perspiring.
Through the
perspiration process,
acid and waste residue
like toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and the
potentially carcinogenic
heavy metals are removed from the cells
(especially zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium,
etc). The pores of our skin open and discharge waste products shedding any old skin cells leaving the skin
glowing and clean, with improved tone, elasticity, texture, and color.
Over the last 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have completed extensive research
on infrared treatments and have reported many provocative findings. In Japan, there is an "infrared society"
composed of medical doctors and physical therapists dedicated to furthering infrared research. Their findings
support the health benefits of infrared therapy as a method of healing.
