Far-infrared Sauna

What is Far-infrared Radiant Heat?
Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is a completely safe form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by a process called direct light conversion. Direct light conversion warms the body directly, not the air around the body. FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation, but a narrow band of energy that travels 2-3" deep into the body. FIR heat provides many of the health benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation.

Why Is FIR important to the human body?
The human body can absorb Far-infrared radiant heat because of its deep penetrating ability. When FIR penetrates through skin to the deeper layers of tissues, it changes from light energy into heat energy. This heat energy deep within the tissues stimulates the blood circulation, which then helps to get rid of body toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating; as well as give pain relief from sports injuries, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and other chronic pain conditions.

Is infrared heat better than traditional steam heat?
Traditional steam saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. FIR sauna warms the body directly, not the air around the body, so that the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of the steam sauna. Due to the hot humid air, steam saunas are more likely to spread and cultivate bacteria, whereas an infrared sauna creates a more sanitary environment. FIR saunas are safe for all ages.

Note: Wear what you are most comfortable in, for example, undergarments, bathing suit, shorts, or a towel.
