Explaining Infrared Heat

Infra-Red is the band of light we perceive as heat. It is not visible to the human eye but can be seen with special Infra-Red cameras. The sun is the largest source of Infra-Red heat. All humans send and receive Infra-Red waves. In fact, Infra-Red rays are often called "Vital rays" and have special regenerative effects on the body. These rays have been used for over 80 years to promote natural healing. Infra Red heats objects directly not the air. Radiant heat is also called infrared or far infrared and is divided into 3 segments by wave lengths, near or close, intermediate, and far long wave infrared. Our sun produces much of its energy in infrared and is allowed through our atmosphere in the 7-14 micron range which is very safe and beneficial for humans. We all know that there are electro-magnetic waves that are beyond our visual range which are called Ultraviolet Rays and Infrared Rays. The following diagram show these rays classified by wave length. The Infrared Rays and Visible Rays are the ones that are most responsible for heating the body.

Infrared radiant energy directly penetrates the body to a depth of over 1 1/2". Our bodies absorb more than 90% of the infrared waves that reach our skin, thus raising our body core temp.

An infrared sauna makes the body perspire profusely which allows the blood to circulate faster in a shorter period of time at a lower temperature which is far more effective than a Steam Sauna or Hot Tub. By perspiring you are allowing your body to remove waste products that are trapped below the skin.You are also helping your skin to breathe and shed old skin cells. Through the natural process of sweating you stimulate circulation which is how you speed up your metabolism.

The lower heat range is safer for those concerned about cardiovascular risk factors that might be adversely affected by the higher temperatures encountered in Steam Saunas. Those with breathing problems such as Asthma can use our Healthy Infra-Red Sauna™ due to the lower temperature and no humidity, allowing a longer sauna session for a deep sweat, that these individuals usually do not enjoy.
