Far infrared sauna
Far infrared (FIR), also known as radiant heat, is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion. 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 in the infrared segment of the spectrum.
Far infrared penetrates organic substances and water two to three inches so that the warming effect is very uniform. We live in a FIR temperature range. Our skin radiates 9.36-micron far infrared wave since our body temperature is 97.7 degrees Fahrenheit. This is very close to the resonant frequency of a water molecule. This makes perfect sense, since about 70% of our body is water. Among the energy spectrum coming from the sun, the far infrared waves are the safest and the most beneficial.
Heaters in the infrared saunas radiate at 2-25 micron, making it completely compatible to the body. Infrared saunas are very economical. Infrared saunas have a warm up time of ten minutes compared to 20 to 30 minute warm up for a conventional sauna. Since far infrared penetrates the body, you are receiving the far infrared benefits even before the sauna warms up. You receive complete detoxification with the sauna set between 110 degrees to 130 degrees, making it comfortable to fully detoxify. Far infrared saunas work even with the door open, so it can be used with clothing on for a pre-warm up for exercise. They are portable and can be set up in 30 minutes or less, with six panels that are manufactured to fit exactly and held together with hex bolts. This makes them portable for use indoors or outdoors( if outdoors, it must be kept from the elements). Many doctors are using the Infra Red saunas in their practices for pain relief treatments. Infrared is approved by the FDA for treatment of pain relief and some insurance does co-payment for in-home saunas.
