Why do I need a Infrared Sauna?
In today's world, stress has become an increasing enigma. In order to perform to the maximum we demand a lot from our body. Because present-day jobs are generally less physically demanding, we run the risk of overweight, accumulating toxic materials in organs and under the skin, stress, etc.
More activity and improved eating habits reduce the risks but an active approach is needed to obtain a healthy body. Regular sports take time and always carry the risk of injury. Far Infrared Sauna offers you the possibility to reduce the risks to your health in a pleasant and relaxing way. Each session takes approximately 40 minutes. In this time you are training your body (as if a 10 km run), while reading or listening to your favorite music.
While conventional saunas use hot air to transfer heat, Infrared heat is directly transmitted onto objects. This allows an in-depth heat in a more pleasant climate, providing more health advantages and fewer side-effects.
Infrared heat has always existed everywhere.
In sunlight, in hot stones, in the clay sauna hut and even in the palm of our hand, infrared energy occurs.
Contrary to the conventional sauna, the sweat is not pulled out of the body but it is pushed out by the body because of the penetration of infrared energy up to 40mm into the body.
Muscles, Joints and Skin
Striking results have been achieved in the battle against various skin, muscle and joint complaints. From radical pain reduction to discontinuing medication. The body is heated from inside by the infrared heat, causing toxic residues contained under the skin to be forced out. 
Because of this the infrared sauna system can be of help when treating eczema, acne and psoriasis. With myalgia as well as certain kinds of rheumatism, substantial reduction of pain and deformation are not uncommon. Furthermore at each session the muscle length is increased, regular use may result in a permanent increase of 12%. For athletes it creates a unique opportunity for warming up and cooling down.
Detoxification
The detoxification potential of the Far Infrared Sauna is up to three times larger than with a conventional sauna, as found when comparing perspiration extracted in the Far Infrared Sauna, with perspiration in a conventional sauna. It shows that the actual water in the sweat when using the Far Infrared Sauna are 80-85% of the volume contrasted by a much higher 95-97% in the hot-air sauna.
The remaining 15-20% contains toxic residues such as lead, cadmium, nickel, copper, sodium, aluminum ,benzene, chloride, fluoride, etc. These substances are stocked up in our body in the kidneys and under the skin as cellulitis. The tremendous use of calories in the Far Infrared Sauna (300 - 600 cal per session) improves the destruction of fat tissue and increases detoxification.
Far Infrared Heat
The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into segments by wavelength measured in microns. The range between 0.076 – 1.5 microns is near infrared , 1.5 – 5.6 microns is middle infrared and 5.6 – 1000 microns is Far Infrared (FIR) , which is what we are interested in. This invisible band of light warms objects without warming the air between the FIR source and the object. The best example of this is the sun. Even on a cold day, the sun feels warm on the skin. This warmth you feel is far infrared waves penetrating your body 1.5 – 3.5 inches. FIR heat is a completely safe form of energy. Approximately 80% of the sun's rays fall into the far infrared range. It is not visible to the human eye, but can been seen with special cameras that translate the light into visible colors.
FIR waves vibrate at the same frequency as all organic matter (5.6 – 1000 microns). This is why they are able to penetrate so deeply into the flesh and warm it internally; its rays vibrate at the same rate, or frequency, as we do. Therefore, FIR rays can be considered to be a sympathetic energy to organic matter. We emit FIR energy every moment in the form of radiant heat. Our bodies also radiate FIR energy through the skin at 3 – 50 microns. Our palms emit FIR energy 8 – 14 microns. You can experience this by holding your palms near each other without touching. Palm healing dates back 3000 years in China and is based on the natural healing properties of FIR. Radiant heat is more efficient than other heat because it warms you, not the air.
The Far Infrared Sauna Infrared Sauna therapy system duplicates these healthy FIR frequencies. Bodily tissues absorb these rays as the water in the cell reacts in a process called " resonant absorption". Resonant absorption occurs when the  frequency of the far infrared matches the frequency of the water in the cell causing toxins to be dropped off into the blood stream and excreted in sweat, feces and urine. Not only does the perspiration produced by FIR waves contain more toxins and less water, but also more toxins will be expelled out through your kidneys, liver and even hair due to resonant absorption. The body absorbs as much as 93% of this heat compared with only 20% of conventional heat. This causes perspiration, which produces a vast array of healthful benefits. The Far Infrared Sauna sauna employs Incoloy â state-of-the-art 100% ceramic far infrared heating elements. FIR saunas operate at the relatively low temperatures of 100 ° – 130 ° F, whereas traditional saunas operate at a temperature of 180 ° – 220 ° F.
Lose Weight
Fat becomes water-soluble at a temperature of 100 F° before it begins to dissolve and enter the bloodstream to be removed from the body. In a FIR Sauna fat is also removed through sweat and cellulite. Weight loss is one of the benefits of using a FIR sauna each day for only 20-40 minutes. A single sauna session will burn 200-500 calories, as many as rowing a boat for 30 minutes or running several miles. Many people who have attempted weight loss through dieting and have not been successful will be pleased with their results from using a FIR sauna. Often the inability to lose weight is associated with chemical toxicity. As these toxins are removed from the body while using the FIR sauna, weight loss naturally follows. FIR saunas are the ONLY natural, healthy way to burn calories without exercising!
Use of a FIR sauna has a cumulative effect on the body, meaning that using it daily magnifies its benefits. The first time you use the FIR sauna will be a pleasant experience. However, after several days and then weeks, detoxification, weight loss, immune building and other benefits will increase dramatically. One must experience this cumulative effect to understand it completely. 
Traditional saunas were invented by the Finnish in the 1700's and introduced as a method for natural healing and rely on an indirect source of heat such as a stove. Ancient peoples sat in an enclosure for a period of time where the air was heated, usually by stones in a fire. Sometimes water was dripped on the rocks to create steam. Over the centuries, the sauna became known for its ability to alleviate medical problems. Sand heating and steam baths have been used for thousands of years. Using far infrared energy to power a sauna follows in this tradition, but with far better results.
Traditional high heat saunas usually operate at temperatures of 180° – 220° F. These saunas use conductive heat, a heat source that heats the air that in turn heats the body and causes the mucous membranes to dry out. This kind of heat only penetrates the body tissue about ½", not 1.5" – 3.5" that FIR waves do. This is why water or steam is often used in traditional saunas. The Far Infrared Sauna hydrates these delicate membranes as it clears the sinuses.
Deep Detoxification
Also, the Far Infrared Sauna significantly improves detoxification due to resonant absorption . Typical sweat produced under normal conditions contains 97% water and 3% toxins. Sweat produced from a FIR sauna is 80-85% water and 15-20% toxins! And the toxins that are excreted in a FIR sauna contain heavy metals, pesticides and other petroleum-based toxins, as well as fat itself. All of these toxic substances do NOT appear in typical sweat, only in sweat produced from a FIR sauna.
FIR is an entirely safe form of energy for a number of reasons. Since FIR does not heat the air between the source and the object it is warming. Objects get very warm in a FIR sauna, but not enough to burn the skin. In a traditional sauna objects become dangerously hot, enough to scald or singe the skin. FIR saunas do not use water, thus eliminating plumbing costs, cleanup and potential bacterial problems. They are significantly less claustrophobic due to air circulation that is not permitted with traditional saunas due to the heat loss. The Far Infrared Sauna has a vent in the door and in the ceiling so fresh air can circulate through the unit. This is a great benefit because it makes using a FIR Sauna a short, pleasant, healthful experience that will quickly become a part of your daily routine.
With a traditional, conduction-heated sauna, it is all about heat, which is costly and ineffective. With a FIR Sauna, profound health benefits occur by sitting in front of FIR heating elements and absorbing those invisible, beneficial FIR waves into the body. Heat is of secondary importance in a FIR sauna.
The Far Infrared Sauna is easy to assemble (approximately 30 minutes or less) and requires 90% less electrical energy to operate than traditional saunas, which is a tremendous cost savings. The brilliant engineering of the Far Infrared Sauna, which simply buckles together and has only eight pieces and a few screws, can be assembled by as few as two people.
Traditional saunas require 30 – 90 minutes to warm up before they can be used. Once in the traditional sauna, many people find the high temperatures between 180° – 235° F, difficult, if not impossible, to tolerate for very long. A session in a FIR sauna requires only 20 – 40 minutes to accomplish its incredible health benefits. The Far Infrared Sauna, on the other hand operates at lower, more tolerable temperatures, 100° F – 130° F, and require only 5 – 10 minutes to warm up. It produces 5 – 7 times more sweat while using a small amount of electricity, about the same amount as it takes to run a hair dryer, depending on the unit.
Construction
The Far Infrared Sauna is constructed entirely of cedar wood, which provides a pleasant, natural smell. The cedar wood is varnished on the outside of the Far Infrared Sauna while the interior remains unfinished. It is an affordable, portable and beautifully crafted piece of furniture. It can be placed in many areas of the house and can be movde easily. It is available in four sizes that will hold between one and five persons. It comes with a one-year parts warranty. The Far Infrared Sauna comes equipped with speakers that can be used with a stereo or CD player. Most importantly, a person can achieve amazing health benefits in the privacy and convenience of their own home, health clubs, resorts or the offices of health-care providers.
Cardiovascular Health
FIR saunas Improve the body's cardiovascular system. While you calmly relax in the soothing warmth of the Far Infrared Sauna Far infrared Sauna, your body is hard at work. A 20 – 30 minute session creates approximately the same amount of perspiration as a six-mile run. And as your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder to boost circulation, thus improving your cardiovascular system. Increased circulation has been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions, and cuts. Open wounds heal faster, which reduces scarring. Peripheral blood vessels dilate to help heal muscles and soft tissue while delivering oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles. This also helps soothe muscles after a strenuous work out.
Immune Builder and Other Health Benefits
The Far Infrared Sauna FIR Sauna also fortifies the immune system. As the body temperature rises, the immune system kicks in to fight the "artificial fever" created by the penetrating FIR heat. This heat also helps detoxify your body by removing the accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals and chemicals. This profuse sweating also deeply cleanses the skin, creating beautiful and improved tone, texture, and color. FIR saunas also help with allergies, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, mercury poisoning, Candida, unclear thinking, depression, or any of the others symptoms associated with these diseases.
Energizing
The most immediate and noticeable effect is the tremendous relaxation that FIR heat provides. This deep relaxation alone can have a profound impact on your health in a positive way. Read, listen to music, carry on a pleasant conversation with a friend or relative, or meditate while in the FIR sauna. In the comfortable warmth, your stress will melt away, leaving you with a feeling of total rejuvenation . Unlike a traditional heat-driven sauna that leaves you tired and drained of energy after being in them, a session in Far Infrared Sauna FIR Sauna has the opposite effect of Energizing you !
You have to sit in a FIR Sauna daily to understand its incredible relaxation, detoxification, cleansing and energizing effects.
