![]() | Far Infrared radiant heat is simply a form of energy. Far Infrared heat waves are gentle and comfortable using temperatures of only 110-140 degrees. The waves are absorbed through your skin and penetrate as deep as 2 inches into your body to warm you directly and quickly. Because it heats you and not the air, the heat is not harsh on your lungs or skin like traditional steam and rock saunas. |
Infrared Sauna Benefits:
- Pain relief - "Medical practitioners make use of Infrared radiant heat to treat sprains, strains, bursitis, peripheral vascular diseases, arthritis and muscle pain...." -McGraw/Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology
- Elimination of toxins - In a study performed by American Researchers the sweat of those using a conventional sauna was 95%to 97% water, while the sweat of those using a Far Infrared sauna was 80% to 85% water. The non-water portion of the sweat was principally cholesterol, fat-soluable toxins, toxic heavy metals, sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia and uric acid. This unusually high concentration of toxins is not found in the sweat from normal exercise.
