About Far Infrared Sauna

Far infrared saunas use infrared light to heat your body directly without warming the air around you. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air to warm your body, far infrared saunas penetrate deeper into your skin, generating heat from within. This type of sauna typically operates at lower temperatures (usually between 120°F to 150°F) compared to traditional saunas (which can reach temperatures of 180°F to 195°F), making it more comfortable for longer sessions.

The infrared light used in these saunas is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is not visible to the human eye. However, it's perceived by our bodies as heat. Far infrared saunas provide various health benefits, including detoxification, relaxation, improved circulation, pain relief, and even weight loss.

Far infrared saunas are often preferred by people who find the intense heat of traditional saunas uncomfortable or who have difficulty tolerating high temperatures due to health reasons. Additionally, because they operate at lower temperatures, they may be more suitable for longer sessions, allowing users to reap potential benefits over an extended period.

Find me a way to create fever and sweat, and I will cure disease.”- Hippocrates, Father of Modern Medicine

The primary benefit of a far infrared sauna is to sweat out a lifetime accumulation of environmental and other chemical toxins that may be reducing wellness, vitality, and energy. It also assists in:

  • Detoxification: Helps detoxify the body by eliminating heavy metals and chemicals, promoting overall wellness and cleansing.

  • Immune System Support: It strengthens the immune system, helping the body defend against illness and disease.

  • Lymph Movement: It helps move lymphatic fluid, supporting the body's natural detoxification process and reducing inflammation.

  • Improved Circulation: Infrared heat can dilate blood vessels, promoting better blood flow.
