Infared Sauna

Why Infrared?
In an Infrared Thermal System, less than 20% of the infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. Thus an infrared based system can warm its user(s) to a much greater depth and much more efficiently than a conventional.

The infrared energy applied in the Infrared Thermal System may induce up to 2 -3 times the sweat volume of a traditional hot-air sauna while operating at a significantly cooler air temperature range of 110° to 130°F vs. 180° to 235°F for hot-air saunas. The lower heat range is safer for those concerned about cardiovascular risk factors that might be adversely affected by the higher temperatures encountered in old-style hot-air saunas.

It is also distinctly more pleasant to breathe in Infrared Saunas with air temperatures about 50° to 125°F cooler than in traditional hot-air saunas.
Infrared Sauna Systems bring you the same infrared rays experienced in the traditional American Indian sweat lodge in a much more convenient and practical form. The cleansing and purifying benefits attributed to the traditional sweat lodges are now available for daily purification without the time consuming and extremely labor-intensive set-up processes that a sweat lodge requires.

The health enhancing properties of far-infrared energy have been widely documented throughout the medical world. It has been used for decades on newborns to the elderly to accelerate the healing of a broad range of ailments and its therapeutic value has been established in numerous areas including pain relief, detoxification and weight loss.
Far-infrared saunas are preferable to traditional dry heat or steam saunas because the air inside the sauna remains cooler, allowing for a longer and more comfortable sauna experience. A moderately conditioned person can easily release 500 grams of sweat in a 30-minute far-infrared sauna session - the equivalent of 475 to 600 calories or a 2-3 mile run. While the lost fluid can be replaced, the expended calories will not be replaced by the consumption of water.
