Why infrared saunas?

Unlike traditional Finnish saunas which use stem to heat the air, and thereby the user, infrared saunas do not use steam but infrared radiation to directly heat the user.

An infrared sauna is using a specific type of heater that creates far infrared waves that heat your body directly, instead of just the air. Radiant energy produced by heaters, is the same as the heat from the sun, only without the harmful ultraviolet rays.

In a warm environment, an infrared sauna could be open air and still heat your body in the same manner, because the heaters don't rely on the air being hot. As a result, users are able to stay in the saunas for longer periods of time resulting in greater benefits.

An infrared sauna is typically a wooden box, or small wooden room, containing a number of infrared heaters.

Extensive testing has been done and it has been shown that infrared saunas are a safe way for anybody to enjoy.

Benefits of using an infrared sauna are twofold: one type of benefits is regarding your health and the other is about the ease of use.

Scientific studies have found that half an hour session in an infrared sauna can result in the loss of toxins and stored fats in the body by up to 6 times the level a traditional sauna or exercise can achieve.

Because the skin is the largest body organ, frequently sweating in a far infrared sauna helps decrease the toxic load and contributes to better health and vitality. Infrared sauna use is beneficial for a wide range of ailments through the increase in circulation that it causes in the body.

A 30 minute session in an infrared sauna is equivalent to walking or jogging for 10 to 15 kilometers. An added health benefit is weight loss. Infrared heat penetrates deep into the tissues of the body to melt away cellulite and fats.

When it comes to the ease of use, keep in mind these facts:
