Far Infrared saunas are the latest technology addition to a long tradition of sauna history. Using many of the same principals to benefit the body using heat, Infrared sauna therapy is a safe and cost effective way to enjoy sauna therapy. In fact Far Infrared heat is more effective and better for the body than any other sauna heating technology.
The key is the Far Infrared energy that is used to heat the unit. Far Infrared is a wavelength found on the electromagnetic scale. Besides the complicated name, it is not that difficult a concept to understand. The electromagnetic scale is simply what scientists have created to judge the energy levels that the sun emits. In creating this scale they assigned levels from weakest to strongest. |
Some of the weaker levels on the electromagnetic scale are radio waves and microwaves. Both these energy wavelengths are commonly used by man. Higher energy levels found on the electromagnetic scale are x-rays and gamma rays, which have been proven to be very harmful and extremely dangerous. Far Infrared energy is considered to be a weaker energy level on the electromagnetic scale. It has been used by scientists and doctors for decades to produce heat which is its primary function.
Since Far Infrared heat travels in wavelengths it can penetrate into objects, which is ideal for sauna use. Instead of simply heating the surface, like traditional hot rock heaters due, it can penetrate deep down to the body’s core, warming muscles, organs, joints and tissues. Studies have shown that up to 80% of the Far Infrared energy can penetrate and be absorbed by the body. This means that the heater can operate at a lower temperature while actually delivering more heat to the body. The high absorption rate also means that the heat is more efficient which leads to cheaper operating costs.
Far Infrared saunas are the future of sauna therapy. Once you have sat in a Far Infrared heated sauna you will see why even long time users have made the switch. Sauna sessions can be quicker and more effective while excreting almost twice the amount of sweat. Like every other great invention, Far Infrared heat has done to saunas what the gas engine did to the auto industry. It is providing a safer cheaper more effect way to heat saunas which has transformed the industry and opened it up to thousands of users worldwide who would never have purchased before. |
