Far infrared heat is a form of energy that heats objects directly without heating the air in between. Human bodies naturally send and receive infrared waves, which are in the invisible range of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. When one lays on the beach, we feel the warmth of the far infrared rays being emitted by the sand.

Today’s busy lifestyles can prevent us from actively sweating on a daily basis but numerous medical studies show that deep sweating has multiple health benefits. While bathing in a far infrared sauna, the body core temperature slowly rises and blood vessels dilate, increasing blood flow. As heat from the blood moves toward the skin’s surface, the body’s nervous system sends signals to the millions of sweat glands covering the body, stimulating perspiration. Far infrared rays penetrate 1.5″ into the body inducing 2-3 times more perspiration than conventional saunas, expelling toxins and heavy metals, and relieving pain while the surrounding air stays at a comfortable temperature [typically between 115° & 140°] The lower heat range is also safer for those concerned about cardiovascular risk factors that might be encountered in old-style hot-air saunas.

A conventional sauna must rely only on indirect means of heat: convection (air currents) and conduction (direct contact of hot air with the skin) to produce its heating effects. In far infrared saunas, less than 20% of the infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. This allows for a greater depth of heat penetration while the surrounding air remains at a relatively low temperature. This difference explains the unprecedented health benefits of far infrared saunas, not attainable with conventional saunas.
