What's So Great About A
Far Infrared Sauna

"Life force may be the least understood force on this Earth."

The benefits you can receive from a far infrared sauna far outweighs that of a conventional sauna. This sauna uses radiant energy to directly penetrate the body's tissues to a depth of over 1.5 inches.

In this type of sauna less than 20% of the infrared energy heats the air, leaving 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. A far infrared sauna can warm its users to a much greater depth and much more efficiently than a conventional steam sauna.

Conventional steam saunas create excessively hot air that only heats the skin surface and not convert energy that penetrates deeper into the body. The difference between a conventional sauna and a far infrared sauna is a process called conversion.

To understand more about far infrared therapy you have to understand far infrared or radiant energy. Far infrared energy is produced by the sun and from our very own bodies.

Far infrared benefits far exceeds that of a conventional sauna. Over the last 25 years Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have done extensive research on infrared treatments and reported many health benefits of infrared rays as a healing method. A study in 1989 performed by German researchers report beneficials effects from an hour-long whole-body infrared exposure in two groups of patients with high blood pressure that showed a 24-hour long increase in peripheral blood flow and a decrease in high blood pressure.

These saunas are also known for detoxing the body and helping with weight loss.

There are many different types of saunas. However I love the far infrared saunas. Why? Mainly because it doesn't have steam so I'm not soaked in sweat and it makes my muscles feel loose and better after I come out of it.

Many skin conditions such as clogged pores, nettle rash, acne and more have been treated using far infrared therapy.

Far infrared treatments relieves pain and is highly effective for those with arthritis, back pain, muscle spasms, headaches, etc.

As with all forms of alternative therapies, there are some conditions or contraindications in which a person should not use a far infrared sauna.
