Far Infrared Sauna Overview

Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is a completely safe form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by a process called direct light conversion. Radiant heat is also called infrared heat or infrared energy. Direct light conversion warms only the object and does not raise the temperature of the surrounding free air. This type of energy travels 2-3″ deep into the body and is thought by some to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue. Read more for information on far infrared saunas.
   
 

Far infrared sauna vs. steam saunas

Infrared saunas warm the body instead of heating the surrounding air. Traditional steam saunas heat the air and require temperatures ranging from 150 – 200 degrees Fahrenheit to promote perspiration, whereas a heat range of 110 – 140 degrees in an infrared sauna produces the same results.

Are far infrared saunas safe?

It sure is. In fact, panels that produce similar infrared rays are used in hospitals to warm newborn babies. Even NASA has used infrared heat to keep their astronauts warm. So no need to worry. Infrared energy has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you a sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation (the kind from a nuclear bomb).

There is a debate amongst professionals and researchers as to what extent mercury is removed due to the process using a far infrared sauna, but many doctors and researchers sing the praise of the healing properties of this hypothermic therapy and the health benefits derived from the use of it. In all the research that has been done, the general results have been astonishingly clear; even if a few of the precise details are still under debate.
