How Infrared Saunas Work
Traditional saunas warm the air which warms the body. Infrared saunas warm the body directly with the same kind of infrared energy that we get from the sun. That way the benefits of far infrared are transmitted directly to your body. Most of us spend 90% of our time indoors.....we do not get enough sunshine which our bodies desperately need to be healthy.
Traditional saunas raise the temperature of the air in order to warm the
body. Therefore what you get is just hot air. Infrared saunas work
differently. They produce the same infrared energy we get from the sun.
Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, far-infrared radiant (FIR)
saunas emit an infrared wavelength that heats the body just like when we
lay in the sun. Since the rays are absorbed directly into the body, one
can work up a sweat at less-intense temperatures than a traditional sauna
(100 - 130° F vs. 185-215° F). In an infrared sauna, heat is just a
by-product; it is the infrared rays that are the most beneficial for the body.
FIR warms only the object and does not raise the temperature of the
surrounding air. To understand how infrared heat works, picture yourself
outdoors on a summer day with the sun overhead. Your body feels
warm from the sun and you become hot. Then a cloud passes overhead,
blocking out the sun. The temperature outside has not changed, but you feel
cooler in the shade. Your body was being heated by the sun's infrared rays.
Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight.
All life requires FIR heat from the sun. FIR heat is not ultraviolet
radiation but a narrow band of energy within the 5 to 15 micron level. This
type of energy travels 2-3" deep into the body to increase circulation and
nourish damaged tissue. The sun is the primary source of radiant energy,
but not all of this energy is beneficial. Sunlight also contains harmful
ultraviolet rays which are not present in the infrared sauna. Although life
needs energy from the sun, too much sunlight can damage the skin, often
making you look older. FIR heat
provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the
dangerous or unwanted effects of ultraviolet.
For years, the healthcare industry recommended infrared heat lamps as a
source of FIR heat but the lamps were cumbersome, extremely hot and
difficult to maintain at a constant temperature. The recent development of
ceramic infrared heaters created a new and convenient source of FIR heat
therapy.
While the infrared causes you to sweat, the composition of chemicals found
in the sweat is quite different from that produced by a steam bath,
traditional sauna, or through exercise. The sweat of people using an infrared sauna
will not only contain water, but will also contain cholesterol, fat-soluble
toxins, heavy metals (such as mercury, aluminum, and arsenic), nicotine,
sulfuric acid, ammonia, and other dangerous environmental poisons. Normal
sweat produced by other methods, including exercise, is mostly water and
sodium chloride. Sweat produced in this way is 97% water and 3% toxins but
sweat produced in an infrared sauna is 85% water and 15% toxins.
Infrared is completely safe. It is used in hospitals to warm premature babies
and is used in the health industry for various other applications. Most of
us don't spend enough time outdoors so we don't get enough infrared in our
bodies and we don't work hard enough to sweat. Therefore, an infrared sauna
offers us the opportunity to do both while relaxing in a sauna setting. A 30
minute infrared sauna session produces as much sweat as a 6 mile run.
The regular use of an infrared sauna has a cumulative effect on the body,
meaning that using it on a regular basis magnifies its benefits. After a
few months of using the sauna regularly, detoxification, weight loss, immune
building, and other benefits will increase dramatically. One customer said,
"When I used my sauna regularly, I never caught a cold for years".
