What is Infrared Heat?

Infrared heat is simply a form of energy that is directly transmitted onto objects because of its specific wavelength.

Where conventional saunas use hot air to transfer heat, the infrared heat rays warm your body directly. This allows an in‑depth heat in a more pleasant temperature of 40‑60ºC, thus providing more health advantages and providing a highly enjoyable and comfortable environment, where you can still breath normally without the discomfort of high humidity or steam

Is Infrared Heat better than traditional Steam Heat?

Infrared heat has some distinct advantages over traditional steam heat saunas, however many steam sauna advocates feel that an infrared sauna does not provide the same relaxing and invigorating experience as a steam sauna. This can be an issue of personal preference.

Traditional steam saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. Infrared saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, these saunas heat the body directly.

The result is a lower power bill and deeper tissue penetration. The body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna. Infrared saunas are safe for all ages.

Is Infrared Heat Safe?

Infrared light is part of the Sun’s invisible spectrum. One of Far‑Infrared light’s characteristics is the ability to easily penetrate human tissue. When this happens, it creates a natural resonance, which has many beneficial properties.

Remember the last time you were sunbathing with sunscreen? Were you still hot? Of course you were because the sunscreen only stops the UV (Ultraviolet) light from hitting your skin. The Far‑Infrared heat (FIR light waves) penetrates your skin, giving you that wonderful natural warmth.

You can be exposed to Far‑Infrared heat for hours and it will never cause your skin to burn. Far‑Infrared heat is completely healthy and safe for all living things. In fact, farinfrared heat is so safe it is used in hospitals to warm newborn infants.
