Infrared Sauna: General Information
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.
How it Works
Infrared Saunas differ from traditional saunas in that they use infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate 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.
Reported Health Benefits Include, But Are Not Limited To:
*Pain relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis
*Relaxes muscle spasms
*Reduces cellulite
*Increases blood circulation
*Clears, rashes, acne
*Enhances skin tone
*Cardiovascular conditioning
*Reduces stress & fatigue
*Removes toxins
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.
Color Light Therapy
is based on the idea that different colors can affect a person's energy and overall well-being.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy has been shown to have potential benefits for a variety of conditions, including:
Skin health: Reducing wrinkles, improving skin texture, and treating acne
Wound healing: Accelerating the healing process and reducing inflammation
Pain relief: Alleviating pain from conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and muscle soreness
Hair growth: Stimulating hair follicles and promoting hair growth
DISCLAIMER
While there is growing evidence to support the benefits of both color light and red light therapy, more research is needed to fully understand its efficacy and potential risks.
