What is Far Infrared?

Why Far Infrared?

The sun is our principal source of infrared heat. As the sun’s rays hit the surface of the earth, what we perceive as heat is in fact far infrared heat waves. Infrared heat is essential for all life. Remember the feeling as you lay on the sun-warmed beach soaking up the rays. This is infrared heat in action. Unfortunately you are also receiving the direct damaging ultra-violet rays.

The invisible and very safe far infrared heat produced by our Saunas is able to penetrate well below the skin, which enables the body to sweat at temperatures of 110 – 130 F (much lower temperatures than conventional saunas).

TOXINS

Toxins in our bodies generally are acidic. Where toxins accumulate, blood circulation is blocked. Far Infrared therapy is effective in expanding clogged capillary vessels and successful in dissolving the toxins into the blood and out of the body via urine and perspiration.

Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki, MD, has a clinic in Japan where she continues her medical research in utilizing Far Infrared wave technology. She attributes the success of the FIR wave treatments to the ability of FIR waves to remove toxins from the body.

SWEATING

Another comparison lies in the process of sweating. Infrared energy created in the Infrared Sauna may induce up to two to three times the volume of sweat produced in a traditional sauna while operating at significantly cooler temperatures (100 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit — 37 to 55 Celsius — compared to 180-220 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower heat is safer for those concerned with cardiovascular risk.

BREATHING

One issue for traditional sauna users has been breathing the exceptionally hot air of 180 degrees Fahrenheit and above. It is distinctly more comfortable to breathe air that is 130 degrees or less, with no loss in heat penetration. As a result infrared sauna users are able to stay in the saunas for longer periods of time resulting in greater benefit.

VENTILATION

Traditional saunas require a closed door to maintain a level of intense heat. Breathing in these saunas has been found to be quite challenging. The Infrared Sauna can be used with ceiling vent, door or window fully open for ventilation.

PREHEATING

One of the practical aspects of the Infrared Sauna is that it requires only 5 to 10 minutes to warm up compared to 30 to 90 minutes for traditional saunas. The speed of heating and the ease of breathing, coupled with the healing effects, encourage people to use their saunas on a regular basis. One can see the practicality for use in clinics, spas and resorts as well as home.

OPERATING COSTS

The Infrared Sauna is inexpensive to operate. A 30-minute session, including a 10-minute warm up period, costs about 10 cents ($0.10) for electricity.

INSTALLATION

The Infrared Sauna takes only minutes to set up. Conventional saunas require building, modifying a room, or creating a separate building, often necessitating the hiring of tradesman. Traditional Native American sweat lodges require labor-intensive installation

Buying Saunas. How And Where Do You Buy A Cheap Sauna?

A sauna is usually a pretty big investment. A good one no doubt at all, but not a cheap one. It’s quite possible to find a cheap sauna, but everything is relative. Before you buy a sauna there’s a few things you need to know.

You’ll need to know what type you’ll be buying. Spend some time researching the different types of sauna available, and make sure you’ve tried them out. You absolutely must decide whether you need a regular (hot rock or Finnish) or an infrared sauna. There’s a big difference between the 2 and also a difference in what you pay. Some people swear by infared saunas as the newest thing in saunas, and others still prefer the old type, the hot rock sauna. It’s essential that you spend some time trying out different types and comparing so that when you come to buy you’ll get exactly what you want and need.

It’s essential to work out what size of sauna you need. There are plenty of people who buy a large one for a crowd and never come close to filling it. There’s no point in buying a sauna that will fit a football team when it’s only you and your husband who will ever use it.

So before you buy work out who will be using it, and how many people will be in it at any one time. If it’s just you and him, then don’t waste your money on a sauna that’s going to leave the both of you rattling around in it. And of course a big sauna is not a cheap sauna, the bigger the most expensive. So if you’re looking for a cheap sauna go small.

Take your time and research the size that you’ll need. Work out how much space you need for the number of people who will occupy it at any one time. If you’re both overweight and looking to lose weight then you’ll both probably need more space than 2 kids. Use you common sense when it comes to space. If you’re looking for a cheap sauna then you’ll probably want to spend some time looking at infrared saunas, as long as you like how they feel. And infrared can be a good choice for someone looking for a cheap sauna, and it’s also possible to buy small portable infrared saunas, which are much cheaper than a fixed one.

You must know how your sauna is to be connected. There are all sorts of issues connected with electricity supply, plumbing where you’ll be buying a wet sauna with a water supply where you’ll need plumbing installed for supply and removal of water.

You’ll also need to research space availability. Some saunas are quite large and will take up a lot of space, and often these are heavy users of plumbing and related resources, so make sure before you buy that you know exactly what size you need, where it will go and what resources it needs.

Are you a handyman? One of the best ways of getting a cheap sauna is to build it yourself. Of course you can build it from scratch but you really need to know what you’re doing to build a sauna from scratch, but it’s perfectly possible to buy a kit where you assemble it from pre made components. If you’re looking to buy a cheap sauna this is a good option for some people who are confident with assembly.

For many the cost of a full blown hot rock (Finnish) sauna is too high. You can pay anywhere up to or well over $4000 for a good sauna, and although it might be a wonderful sauna it’s beyond the resources of many. However there are a number of ways of sourcing good quality cheap saunas online that might surprise you. You can buy brand new saunas at well below retail if you know where to look and do your homework.

It takes a little longer but if you do the work to find a cheap sauna you can pocket the difference, or else buy a better one than you could afford if you bought at retail. It always pays to do some research. Find out what your requirements are then then look online for a cheap sauna and pocket the change.

The Incredible Benefits Of Your Private Infra-Red Sauna – You Will Not Believe Your Eyes

Conventional saunas require high air temperature to pull impurities from the body, but an infra-red heated sauna can directly penetrate up to 45 millimetres inside the body for a great detox treatment.
As you relax in the gentle warmth of an infra-red sauna, your body is hard at work, producing sweat, burning calories and pumping blood.

Infrared sauna heat treatments allows increased blood circulation to carry great amounts of nutrients to the skin, thus promoting healthy skin tone and texture. The profuse sweating deeply cleanses the pores. Increased circulation has been shown to relieve eczema, acne, psoriasis, burns, and cuts. Wounds heal faster, which reduces scarring. 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.

Infra-red sauna therapy has a beneficial effect on cardiovascular conditioning and metabolism. A session in the sauna doubles the flow of blood to all the tissues of the body and exercises the heart. This is comparable to a similar time of exercise, although no muscle conditioning will result. This is useful as an augmentation to a regular exercise routine and is a good substitute for those who can’t exercise.

The infra-red sauna is a valuable component in any weight-loss program. They are routinely used for its excellent calorie burning effects. A sauna can accelerate weight loss in a person who is already exercising and following a sensible and healthy alkaline diet. A half-hour session can burn up to 600 calories. Therefore, two sessions a day of 45 minutes each can burn up to 1800 calories, per day, which is equivalent to almost two hours of vigorous aerobic exercise.

According to an American Medical Association journal report, a 20-30 minute session creates approximately the same amount of perspiration as a six-mile run, so you can loose weight not just water. While the weight of the water loss can be regained by hydration with water, the calories consumed will not be.

The sauna improves blood circulation to the skin and results in a deep pore cleansing. This results in an improved elasticity and skin tone. Regular practictioners are said to have more youthful skin that “glows”. People with chronic skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis and eczema will benefit from regular sauna sessions. If the person is heat sensitive, the temperature of the sauna can be turned down to a level that the person can tolerate. Burn victims and people with scars can also benefit from the improved healing of the skin.

Typical sweat produced under normal conditions contains 3% toxins and 97% water. Sweat produced from an infrared sauna is found to be 15-20% toxins and 80-85% water. Infrared saunas can assist treating cellulite (a gel-like substance made up of water, wastes and fat which are trapped in pockets below the skin) as profuse sweating helps clear this form of unwelcomed debris from the body. European beauty specialists confirm that infrared sauna sessions will greatly accelerate any anti-cellulite program. As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, providing the benefits of continuous exercise. The heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops for improved overall cardiovascular fitness.

Infrared saunas are regularly used to treat:

Neuralgia
Arthritis
Sprins
Fibromyalgia
Muscle spasms
Joint stiffness

People report being able to sleep better after their sauna sessions. A sauna session relaxes muscles, circulates the blood, stimulates the heart, and releases endorphins, providing a feeling of invigoration. Due to the many physiological effects of heat therapy, people feel less stressed after a sauna session.
