What is a Far-Infrared Sauna (FIR)?
 An infrared sauna warms the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. FIR heat therapy uses
the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body
normally. Traditional saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the
chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. FIR
saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, FIR Sauna’s heat the
body directly. The result is deeper tissue penetration. In the FIR sauna, the body perspires and
receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional
steam sauna. In an infrared sauna, the infrared heater produces radiant energy, which is the same
as the heat from the sun, only without the harmful ultraviolet rays. FIR saunas are safe for all
ages.
Traditional saunas are more likely to spread and cultivate bacteria in the humid air, therefore
an infrared sauna creates a more sanitary environment.
Far Infrared Sauna vs Traditional Sauna
| |
- Traditional saunas usually operate at an average temperate between 195 and 220° F.
- The average temperate in an infrared sauna ranges from about 110 to 140° F. An infrared sauna warms the body in the same manner as natural sunlight.
- We're talking about an air temperature difference of 40 to 90 degrees or so!
- For people who find the air in a traditional sauna intolerable, this is a huge benefit.
- Far Infrared Saunas are safer, no hot surfaces, no high temperatures.
|
|
| |
- Saunas in general are good for detoxification, but a far infrared sauna may have deeper tissue cleansing effects.
- Far infrared radiant energy penetrates the skin about one and a half inches deep.
- This penetration is probably the reason many people report sweating sooner and heavier compared to a traditional sauna. The heavier sweating most likely means that more waste material is expelled.

More on far infrared energy and toxins
| |
- Toxins come from a variety of places – contaminated air, crops sprayed with pesticides and herbicides, and water to name a few.
- Toxic gases and substances that we are all constantly exposed to reportedly become encapsulated in water molecules within the body.
- The bad news for you and me is that when these toxins accumulate, blood circulation and cellular energy are impaired.
- Infrared heat causes these water molecules to vibrate. The vibrations cause the water molecules to break down, resulting in a release of toxic gases and other toxic materials. Sweating plays a vital role in helping you maintain good health. It helps your body perform two important tasks; (1) it helps regulate body temperature and, (2) it helps your body rid itself of toxins.

What are the Health Benefits?
| |
- Improves Cardiovascular System. The Far Infared Sauna increases heart rate and blood circulation, crucial to maintaining your health. The heart rate increases as more blood flow is diverted from the inner organs towards the extremities of the skin, without heightening blood pressure.
- Strengthens Immune System. Therasauna’s deep penetrating heat raises your body temperature inducing an artificial fever. As your body works to fight the fever, your body’s immune system is strengthened and with the elimination of toxins and waste your body’s resistance to disease is increased.
- Detoxifies and Removes Toxins From the Body. Far Infrared helps detoxify your body by removing the accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals and chemicals.
- Assists in Weight Control and Removing Cellulite. Clears unsightly cellulite and breaks down the lumps of fat, water and toxins trapped in pockets beneath the skin. Burns calories and helps control weight. As you relax you can burn up to 600 calories in a 30 minute session.
- Improves Skin Tone. Skin tone is improved with 3 times more perspiration and increased blood circulation that expels deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells while drawing out nutrients to the skins surface for improved skin tone, elasticity, texture and color. It has been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions and cuts.
- Relieves Pain from Arthritis, Sprains, Strains, and Overworked Muscles. Therasauna’s deep penetrating heat dilates blood vessels bringing relief and healing to muscles and soft tissue injuries which delivers oxygen rich blood to joints and muscles. Muscles and joints relax more readily for greater flexibility and range of motion and heal faster when they are warm.
- Reduces Swelling and Inflammation by Improving the Flow of the Lymph System.
- Stimulates Cellular and Enzyme Activity.
- Provides Immense Relaxation. The most immediate and noticeable effect is tremendous relaxation. Relaxation alone can have a profound impact on your health. Read, listen to music, watch a DVD…relax.

The Sauna Experience
Sauna’s are safe for most people when a few simple rules are followed:
| |
- Don’t remain inside the sauna for longer than 30 minutes at a time.
- Rest sitting for 5-10 minutes after the sauna to allow for elimination of dead cells and debris.
- Drink plenty of mineralized water before entering the sauna and after.
- Make sure you move your bowels regularly since the sauna assists in elimination.
- Pay attention to how you feel and leave the sauna if you feel unwell even before 30 minutes are up.
- Those with chronic conditions, especially multiple sclerosis, hyperthyroidism, hypertension or serious heart conditions, should consult a doctor before use.

Part of an Integrated Health Program
The results are much better when sauna detoxification is part of
an integrated health program. Add extra sea salt or kelp
granules to your diet to replace minerals lost through sweat.
Eat natural foods grown on mineral-rich soil. Get adequate rest
and sleep and exercise each day. Breathe deeply clean, fresh
air. Reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals. Create and
maintain a positive environment.
PLEASE NOTE: Industry research has shown that
infrared sauna heat does provide health benefits, so it is not a
scam. However, some exaggerated claims about
instant weight loss and increased
health may be untrue.
