What are Far Infrared Saunas?

Experience the Benefits of Far Infrared Saunas

Imagine a typically cold and cloudy day. You feel the chill in the air, but then the clouds part momentarily, and the sun breaks through, bathing your skin in warmth. This pleasant surge of heat is the far infrared band of light penetrating your skin.

Infrared light forms part of the sunlight spectrum. Unlike visible rays, which make up the colors of the rainbow, infrared light is invisible. By isolating this light wave for therapeutic use, you can reap the healthy benefits of sunshine without the harmful effects of solar radiation.

When infrared light penetrates your skin, it causes the molecules to vibrate, producing heat and raising your core body temperature. These rays penetrate deeply, aiding in toxin metabolism, cell restoration, and tension relief.

This form of infrared light wave offers the most effective and penetrating therapeutic radiant light. Any sauna you choose should feature far infrared light as its main emitter, as it is the cornerstone of any therapeutic light/heat therapy.

Why Choose Far Infrared?

An infrared sauna heats your body directly using a far infrared light source, without heating the surrounding air, creating a more comfortable environment. Traditional saunas, on the other hand, heat the air around you and increase humidity by pouring water onto heated stones.

How does Far Infrared Work?

Many people find infrared sauna heat more comfortable because the air remains cooler and drier compared to a traditional sauna. Yet, the infrared sauna effectively raises your core body temperature, providing the same therapeutic benefits.

One significant advantage of saunas is their ability to induce bodily reactions similar to moderate exercise, such as increased heart rate and sweat production. Infrared saunas achieve this at lower temperatures, making them accessible to those who find traditional sauna heat intolerable.

Comparing Far Infrared Saunas

Traditional Saunas

Traditional saunas heat the surrounding air, and water is poured onto heated stones to create steam and increase humidity. They are less efficient than far infrared saunas, with uneven heat distribution throughout the space.

Ceramic Saunas
Typical ceramic saunas produce shallow heat, targeting a limited area and lacking the overall warmth associated with other saunas. Their heat retention is also less efficient.

Far Infrared Saunas

Far infrared saunas emit large wavelengths of invisible light energy that penetrate deep into the body, unlike other saunas that produce surface heat. When infrared light penetrates your skin, it causes molecular vibrations, producing heat and raising your core body temperature. These rays deeply penetrate the skin, aiding in toxin metabolism, cell restoration, and tension relief.
