Far infrared saunas are a very effective detoxification and relaxation tool and can greatly improve overall health.

A far infrared sauna is a great addition to any weight loss, fitness, detoxification or relaxation routine.  Saunas range from incredible affordable personal portable models to four person wood units that are a showpiece and a health tool.  On this page we'll tell you how far infrared therapy can help you, or you can use the link above to jump right to the types of saunas we offer.
 

How Far Infrared Affects The Body

Far infrared causes water within the body to vibrate. The body is about 70% water, so this vibration has a profound effect on the tissues. This vibratory process allows for a deeper penetration of energy, which heats the atoms and causes water molecules to break into smaller clusters. Both events stimulates the easy release of toxins. The extra heat generated causes the capillaries to expand which helps blood circulation, and increase the body's metabolism. This activates the tissues to produce needed enzymes.
 

How Far Infrared Saunas Detoxify

Toxins are everywhere, in food, water, in the air and on surfaces.  There is a plethora of chemicals the body can not metabolize so once in the body these toxins tend to be stored in fat cells. A Chronic Toxic Overload is created when hundreds of chemicals dwell in the body. This condition causes dozens of debilitating illnesses.

Excessive toxins cause the mechanism which creates enzymes to malfunction, resulting in nutritional shortages, which in turn can lead to hormone and brain imbalances. That is the bad news. The good news is that with far infrared’s deep heat, fat cells liquify. Couple this with the vibrational effect far infrared has on water clusters, and your water molecules begin to split into micro-molecules, making the toxins within them easier to eliminate. These processes work together to allow toxins and fat to be released to the eliminative systems of the body.
 

Far Infrared’s Benefits On The Blood

A 30 minute far infrared sauna is as advantageous to the cardiovascular system as a six mile run. In fact, NASA has used far infrared for cardiac conditioning. With far infrared heat the blood vessels become dilated which helps lower blood pressure, increases blood circulation, boosts cellular metabolism, smooths the walls of the blood-carrying system and increases the production of both white blood cells and endorphins. The blood and its systems gain vigor which results in a strengthened immune system, quicker injury healing, normalized cholesterol, recovered energy and improved oxygen levels.
 

Other Benefits of Far Infrared Therapy

Far infrared helps liquefy fat and expedites its elimination so weight loss would be a benefit. At least 300 calories are burned for every 30 minute sauna taken. Far infrared stimulates the hypothalamus which controls neurochemicals. The benefits of this include a better sleep, improved moods, pain control, and a lower body acidic level through the reduction of stress and toxins. The heat from far infrared prevents the growth of bacteria and molds. Along with this effect, caused by the heat, the body will also activate its immune system anytime its core temperature rises above the norm. This stimulation of the immune system helps the body more quickly rid itself of other illnesses.
 

The Sun and how it applies to Infrared Heat

Have you ever been outside on a partly cloudy spring day of about 50 degrees, and felt quite comfortable, when suddenly the sun was obscured by a cloud? Although the air temperature had no time to drop, the clouds do not let the warming infrared rays through to reach you. The infrared heat in your FIR Heat Sauna is just like the heat from the Sun. The source of infrared heat in your infrared sauna is actually a ceramic tube or cube, warmed by an electrical wire embedded within.

Far Infrared energy emitted from FIR Saunas will induce two or three times the sweat volume of conventional saunas, yet they operate at a much cooler air temperature range of about 110° to 130°F.  Compare this to 180° to 235°F in a conventional sauna. Individuals who cannot tolerate a conventional sauna, steam room, or sweat lodge will find infrared saunas pleasant. The lower heat range is also safer for those with cardiovascular risk factors or fragile health, since lower temperatures won't dramatically elevate heart rate and blood pressure.

Doctors point out that methods to induce sweating have been used for centuries to bring about improved health and relief from disease. Over 2,000 years ago the famous Greek physician, Parmenides, stated, "give me a chance to create fever, and I will cure any disease."
