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.
Health 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.
Health Benefits Include, But Are Not Limited To:

*Increases blood circulation
*Clears, rashes, acne
*Enhances skin tone
*Cardiovascular conditioning
*Reduces stress & fatigue

Sauna Maintenance
Since infrared saunas do not require hot rocks, water, or steam to operate, they require
very little maintenance. You can simply wipe it down with water
– use a damp, soft, and
clean cloth.
Do not use any chemical based cleaning agents
as they can be
absorbed into the wood and be released into your sauna during use.
