Far Infrared Saunas

Far infrared is said to have a penetration of up to three inches deep inside the body’s tissues. Due to the deeper penetration levels, heating effect is also to the maximum.  It not only penetrates the muscular tissues but penetrates the internal organs. The deep heating and the subsequent sweating is the root cause for the healing and other health related effects caused by the infrared rays.  When exposed to far infrared sauna therapy the tissues selectively absorb the rays which makes the water in the cells to react.  This process is called as “resonant absorption”.  This happens only if the frequency of the far infrared matches the frequency of the water in the cells.  This makes the toxins and wastes wash into the blood stream and excreted either through sweat, or feces, or through urine.

Main advantages of far infrared sauna over conventional saunas:

Far infrared saunas are three times more efficient in terms of heating the tissues when compared to the conventional saunas.

The resonant absorption method of the far infrared saunas results in the expulsion of more toxins and waste through kidney, liver, hair and skin.

Far infrared saunas temperatures are well tolerated as it operates between 100 degrees to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Since there are no hot surfaces or very high temperatures they are safer as compared to conventional saunas.

Due to lower temperatures caused by far infrared saunas, they do not make the mucous membranes dry.

It is very energy efficient, as it requires only 10 percent of the energy consumption of the other types of saunas.

Due to the lower heat it is considered to be safer to heart and heart related functions.

The time taken to warm up is only 5- 10 minutes, but it takes half an hour to one and a half hour for other conventional saunas.

Far infrared saunas are easy to carry and easy to assemble.

When far infrared saunas are used, the environment is very pleasant and easy to breathe, some models even helps in the entry of fresh air.  Since only 20% of the air is heated and the rest of the 80% heating happens only inside the body, it is very comfortable to use.

As there is no usage of water in this model, it eliminates the costs on plumbing, cleaning and doesn’t encourage bacterial growth.

The benefits of using far infrared saunas:

It helps in the detoxification of heavy metals, fat-soluble toxins and other toxic chemicals such as mercury, lead, copper, manganese, chloride, sodium, arsenic, nickel, benzenes, drugs, anesthetics, cholesterol, urea nicotine etc more effectively than any other saunas.

For people who have undergone silicon breast implants, this is the only way to remove the toxins caused by the implant.

It is a very effective stress buster as it makes the capillaries dilate effectively resulting in reduced stress.

It improves the immune system and also kills the microorganisms.

Even though exercising is the best way to reduce weight, through this far infrared sauna method the toxins, heavy metals and cholesterol gets washed away as excreta resulting in better weight loss.  Since fat is made soluble at 110 degrees F, it is excreted with sweat and toxins.

Cellulite is best treated with infrared sauna.  They even tend to reduce pain in the joints, shoulder, back etc.
