Infrared refers to electromagnetic waves whose wavelengths lie between visible light and microwave. Depending on the wavelength, infrared can be further classified as near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared. The far-infrared range has the longest wavelength and highest efficiency among the three. In fact, far-infrared is widely considered a solar panacea for all modern men’s and woman’s illnesses.
Infrared saunas are safe if used correctly. Be sure to share all your medial conditions and medications you are taking with us so that we’re able to determine if you have any risk factors.
There are a few contraindications for use of infrared sauna: pregnancy, severe inflammation, fever, communicable disease, alcohol abuse, acute bleeding, pacemakers and defibrillators.
Infrared saunas operate at a temperature of 30-60 degrees Celsius, compared to a traditional sauna that operates at 85-110 degrees Celsius. This allows you to be able to breathe comfortably and enjoy the benefits for extended periods of time. Because the infrared rays safely and comfortably penetrate the skin up to 2″ deep, even your organs and deep tissues are stimulated. This induces sweating 2-3 times as much as a conventional sauna.
Pain Relief: Far infrared therapy has been effective in providing pain relief to those suffering from back pain, sprains, strains, bursitis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, headaches, and many other muscular-skeletal ailments.
Weight Loss and Control: One 30 minute session burns up to 300 calories and an increase of up to 800 calories for your daily caloric burn.
Cellulite and skin disorders: Infrared therapy has been shown to relieve acne, psoriasis, burns, eczema and also removes roughness and decreases scarring. Beauty specialists are now utilizing infrared treatments in programs specifically designed to reduce cellulite. The deep penetration of infrared energy aids in the breakdown and release of stored fat and toxins through the skin.
Stress Relief: Infrared therapy has been shown to promote a rebalancing of the body’s hormones through its effect on the autonomic nervous system, thereby reducing the negative physical impact of stress on the body.
Improved Immune System: An infrared sauna session raises your core body temperature resulting in an artificial fever, as a result your body’s immune system is stimulated and strengthened.
Detoxification: Removes stored toxins from your body by sweating 2-3 times more than a traditional sauna at temperatures from 30-60 degrees Celsius.
Heart Health: Infrared therapy stimulates the cardiovascular system supplying the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. It has been used to treat high cholesterol, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, and congestive heart failure.
One session will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. But like exercise, the more you do it, the better the results. Recommended use is 2-4 times per week for 30 minutes.
