FAR Infrared Sauna

What are Infrared Rays?

Infrared is the band of light we perceive as heat. We cannot see this band of light with the naked eye, but we can feel this type of light in the form of heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum. Infrared rays heat your body without having to heat the air in-between. This process is called conversion. The infrared is divided into 3 segments by wavelengths measured in microns: Near Infrared – 0.76-1.5 microns; Middle Infrared – 1.5-5.6 microns; and Far Infrared – 5.6-1000 microns. Among these segments, Far Infrared penetrates organic substances such as the human body two to three inches so that the warming effect is very uniform.

Are Infrared Rays Safe?

Because infrared rays are part of sunlight, they are not only safe but also highly beneficial to our bodies on a cellular level. Health professionals have used infrared heat lamps for decades to treat muscle and joint problems. In hospital baby care units, incubators are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep newborn babies warm.

How it works:

Infrared Saunas differ from traditional saunas in that they use infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate into the body's tissue to produce perspiration. Traditional saunas use steam to heat the air inside the sauna, which then heats your body until you begin to perspire. In order for this to be effective, temperatures would need to reach in the upwards of 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Infrared saunas only need a temperature of up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to obtain the same effect. This lower temperature makes the environment more tolerable and allows you to breathe easier.

Health Benefits:

Because infrared rays penetrate the body through conversion, there is a deep heating effect in both the muscle tissues and internal organs without putting too much burden on the heart. Our body reacts to the increased heating through the natural cooling process of perspiring. Through the perspiration process, acid and waste residue like toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol, and the potentially carcinogenic heavy metals are removed from the cells (especially zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium, etc.). The pores of our skin open and discharge waste products shedding any old skin cells leaving the skin glowing and clean, with improved tone, elasticity, texture, and color.

Depending on your sauna needs and experience, your sauna time can range from 20-45 minutes.
Sessions are booked as a 1 hour and 45 min block to allow your sauna time, cool-down and to ensure you are not rushed after.

Your actual sauna entry time is the booking time, so be sure to arrive at the time slot you selected. For example: if your session is booked from 1:00-2:30 pm, your sauna entry time is 1:00pm. Failure to arrive on time could result in your session being rescheduled.

Disclaimer:

The infrared rays emitted by your sauna are reported to offer a wide range of possible therapeutic benefits based on research completed over the last 40 years from all around the world. These benefits are presented for reference purposes only and no implication of infrared saunas creating a cure for or treating any disease is implied nor should it be inferred. If you have a medical/health condition, are taking prescription drugs, or have acute joint injuries, please consult with your medical physician before using the sauna. Persons with surgical implants (metal pins/rods, artificial joints, silicone, or other types of surgical implants) typically do not experience any adverse effects, but should also consult their medical physician or surgeon before using the sauna room.

Exit Sauna Immediately If You Feel Dizzy, Sleepy, Or Any Discomfort.
