A Brief Comparison of a Traditional Sauna vs an Infrared Sauna:
A traditional sauna uses heat and humidity to warm the air, which in turn warms the body. Infrared saunas use light to create heat, 20% heats the air, leaving 80% of the heat available for the body. Therefore, the body is warmed more efficiently at a lower temperature making it more accessible to people who can’t tolerate excessive he

Detoxification-Sweating is one of the body’s safest and most natural ways to heal and maintain good health. The infrared sauna is specifically designed to promote a deep, healthy and natural detoxifying sweat. Detoxification is important because it strengthens the body’s immune system and helps the body’s biochemical processes function efficiently so that we are better able to digest the nutrients in our foods. Ridding the body of these toxins through a natural sauna detox may help relieve symptoms, prevent future illness and increase overall health and vitality. In sauna detox, your body sweats out numerous toxins through pores that can accumulate in the skin and liver. It is believed that infrared saunas are seven times more effective than a traditional sauna. It is commonly thought that sweat from traditional saunas is 95 to 97% water with salt making up a part of the rest. Far infrared saunas are believed to be more effective in moving toxins through the skin than traditional saunas because in a far infrared sauna only 80 to 85% of the sweat is water with the non-water portion being cholesterol, fat soluble toxins, toxic heavy metals, sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia and uric acid. Infrared saunas are highly effective detoxification because of far infrared heating technology, the only technology proven to raise core body temperature by two-to-three degrees. Rather than simply heating the ambient air to draw out toxins, infrared sauna detox will heat your core to expel them. Relaxation-Relaxation is more important to health than most people realize. The American Institute of Stress estimates that 75 to 90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems. Long term stress is the cause of countless physiological effects on the body, including increased blood pressure, weight gain and weakening of the immune system. Pain Relief-Natural-Pain relief is associated with infrared sauna therapy by relieving tension and relaxing the muscles. Infrared sauna heat works by penetrating joints, muscles and tissues, increasing circulation and speeding oxygen flow. By reducing soreness on nerve endings, infrared heat reduces muscle spasms and helps the body heal itself naturally. Infrared sauna have proven to provide relief from sports injury, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis and other chronic pain conditions. Infrared wavelengths penetrate the body to create heat, which creates profound therapeutic benefits. They increase blood flow to the muscles, delivering more concentrated oxygen, which creates more energy to heal. As a health sauna, it heats your muscles with infrared rays and produces an increase in blood flow similar to regular exercise. The increased peripheral circulation from infrared heat reduces inflammation, decreases pain and speeds healing, all important steps in helping the body recover from strenuous activity. Cell Health, Muscle Recovery & Immunity-Infrared technology aids in cell health, muscle recovery and overall immunity defense. Infrared therapy stimulates the circulatory system, causing the heart to beat more vigorously and blood vessels to dilate, which help cleanse the circulatory system and more fully oxygenate the body’s cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system. According to The Doctor’s Prescription for Health Living, infrared heat is one of the best treatments for sprains, strains, muscle spasms, and other injuries associated with sports because it works by penetrating joints, muscles and tissues, speeding oxygen flow and increasing circulation.
