Health Benefits Introduction
The tradition of sweat bathing has been providing its users with health benefits for centuries. Today, with the addition of the Far Infrared heating system, sauna therapy is crossing the gap from being viewed as a holistic treatment to becoming a real cure in the fight against some of mankind's worst health ailments. The key to its many health attributes lies in the Far Infrared energy learn more) and heat absorption created in the sauna environment. Far Infrared energy penetrates deep into the human body, reaching down into our muscles, organs and cellular structures. This deep penetrating heat causes the heart to pump faster, increases blood flow and leads to a phenomenon known as hyperthermia. When a person is in a hyperthermic condition, the body reacts as if it were fighting off a fever and begins to boost the immune system, which in tern, increases the production of disease fighting white blood cells, antibodies and interferon (an anti viral protein with cancer fighting capability). Furthermore, Far Infrared's energy waves penetrate down into our fat cells, where many of the chemicals, toxins and pollutants of our modern world are stored. Infrared energy is one of the best natural forms of excreting these pollutants. Daily 15-30 minute sauna sessions will help the human body realize true health benefits for all of its natural systems, including the: immune, cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, muscular, nervous, lymphatic and skeletal systems as well as added sex drive and improved mental well being.

Far Infrared Energy vs. Traditional Sweat Bathing
Conventional steam heated saunas heat the air withsteam and usually operate at temperatures ranging from 180F-190F. Heating the steam not only takes longer to heat up, but also releases a steam that is often unbearably hot and difficult to breath. Furthermore, the steam only penetrates the walls of the skin, which creates nothing more than a surface sweat and does not reach deep down into the body's core.

On the contrary, Far Infrared Saunas operate effectively between 100F-130F, creating a warm and comfortable environment. This advantage is due to the Far Infrared energy waves that work off a process known as Direct Light Conversion. Direct Light Conversion is a phenomenon which only warms the object it focuses on and does not warm the free air surrounding it. Studies have shown that only 20% of the Far Infrared heat created in a sauna is lost into the air, leaving 80% to be absorbed by the body. The Infrared heat penetrates deep down into the body's core, creating a deep sweat, while also relaxing the muscles and internal organs. Our customers find that the relaxing sensation of a 15-30 minute sauna session becomes as habitual as unwinding with a hot bath or by having a nice glass of wine, it's that comfortable.
