Infrared Sauna

What is Far Infrared?

The sun is our principal source of infrared heat. As the sun's rays hit the surface of the earth, what we perceive as heat is in fact far infrared heat waves. Infrared heat is essential for all life. Remember the feeling as you lay on the sun-warmed beach soaking up the rays. This is infrared heat in action. Unfortunately you are also receiving the direct damaging ultra-violet rays.

The invisible and very safe far infrared heat produced by our Saunas is able to penetrate well below the skin, which enables the body to sweat at temperatures of 110 - 130 F (much lower temperatures than conventional saunas).

Why Far Infrared?

Our tissues normally produce infrared energy and burn it as fuel to keep us warm and use it for tissue repair. Tissue production of infrared energy is associated with a variety of healing responses. At times, the infrared energy in our tissues may require a boost to a higher level to insure the fullest healing possible for tissue repair.

Dr. Tsu-Tsair Oliver Chi, when summing up how infrared devices are attuned to the human body, reported that body tissues that need an infrared boost selectively absorb infrared rays. After boosting a tissue's infrared energy, the remaining rays pass onward harmlessly, a phenomenon called "resonant absorption

You can see from this that Far Infrared is a natural energy the body uses to heal, repair and balance itself. We simply need more of it to counter the invasive effects of our environmental toxins, daily stress, injury and the aging process. This is why the Far Infrared Sauna is such a valuable and essential heath tool for people of all ages.

TOXINS

Toxins in our bodies generally are acidic. Where toxins accumulate, blood circulation is blocked. Far Infrared therapy is effective in expanding clogged capillary vessels and successful in dissolving the toxins into the blood and out of the body via urine and perspiration.

Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki, MD, has a clinic in Japan where she continues her medical research in utilizing Far Infrared wave technology. She attributes the success of the FIR wave treatments to the ability of FIR waves to remove toxins from the body.

SWEATING

Another comparison lies in the process of sweating. Infrared energy created in the Infrared Sauna may induce up to two to three times the volume of sweat produced in a traditional sauna while operating at significantly cooler temperatures (100 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit -- 37 to 55 Celsius -- compared to 180-220 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower heat is safer for those concerned with cardiovascular risk.

BREATHING

One issue for traditional sauna users has been breathing the exceptionally hot air of 180 degrees Fahrenheit and above. It is distinctly more comfortable to breathe air that is 130 degrees or less, with no loss in heat penetration. As a result infrared sauna users are able to stay in the saunas for longer periods of time resulting in greater benefit.

VENTILATION

Traditional saunas require a closed door to maintain a level of intense heat. Breathing in these saunas has been found to be quite challenging. The Infrared Sauna can be used with ceiling vent, door or window fully open for ventilation.
