Infrared Saunas          

How Infrared Saunas Work

Infrared saunas offer a modern twist to an age-old experience. Traditional saunas raise the temperature
of the air in order to warm the body. Infrared saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within
the enclosure, far-infrared radiant (FIR) saunas emit an infrared wavelength that heats the body.
Because the rays are absorbed directly into the body, one can work up a sweat at less intense
temperatures than a traditional sauna (100 - 130° F. vs. 185-195° F.) Far-infrared radiant heat is a form
of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by direct light conversion.

FIR warms only the object and does not raise the temperature of the surrounding free air. To understand
how infrared heat works, picture yourself outdoors on a summer day with the sun beaming overhead. Your body feels warm from the sun and you become hot. Then a cloud passes overhead, blocking out the sun. The temperature outside has not changed, but you feel cooler in the shade. Your body was being heated by the Sun’s infrared rays. Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. Infrared emitters in the sauna emulate the infrared rays produced by the sun.

All life requires FIR heat from the sun. FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of energy
within the 5 to 15 micron level. This type of energy travels 2-3" deep into the body to increase circulation
and nourish damaged tissue. The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all of this energy is
beneficial. Sunlight also contains harmful solar radiation. Although life needs energy from the sun, too
much sunlight damages the skin. FIR heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any
of the dangerous effects of solar radiation.

FIR heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats
the body normally. For years, the healthcare industry recommended infrared heat lamps as a source of
FIR heat but the lamps were cumbersome, extremely hot and difficult to maintain at a constant
temperature. The recent development of ceramic infrared heaters created a new and convenient source
of FIR heat therapy.

Benefits of the Infrared Sauna

Detoxification: Two to three times more sweat is
produced which increases detoxification through the
skin which takes a load off the liver and kidneys.
Pain Relief: Deep heat penetrates 2" to bring relief
to muscle and joint pains. Increased circulation and
oxygen supply promotes faster healing.
Weight Loss: Heart rate, cardiac output, and
metabolic rate increase. You can burn up to 600
calories in 30 minutes.
Improves Skin: Sweating carries off impurities and
dead skin cells. Skin tone and elasticity is improved.
Also good for clearing acne, eczema, psoriasis, and
removes roughness.
Boosts Immunity: Shortens recovery time from colds
and flu, and strengthens immune system.
Clears Cellulite: Helps clear cellulite through
sweating and detoxification.
Overall Health: Our bodies absorb infrared rays
from the sun which is necessary for health and well
being.

The cost of operating an infrared Sauna is approximately 15c per hour

WARRANTY: Saunas carry a full 5 year warranty on everything except the am/fm cd player
which comes with a standard 1 year warranty.
