What is an Infrared Sauna?

Infrared Sauna with Red light therapy

 

Infrared saunas are popular in the wellness community for a number of reasons including the numerous health benefits and they just make you feel good! What exactly is an infrared sauna?  Before we dive into what infrared saunas are, we should first understand infrared wavelengths.

Infrared Wavelengths

The sun produces a combination of visible and invisible light, and one of those invisible spectrums is infrared rays. Invisible infrared wavelengths are what makes the sun feel warm (and ultraviolet wavelengths are what makes it bright). Scientists have established that infrared waves are beneficial to the human body as they increase the thermal energy in the body.  Infrared does this without any of the harmful rays of sunlight. 

There are three main categories of the infrared spectrum: near infrared, mid infrared, and far infrared.

  • Near Infrared is the shortest wavelength but penetrates the deepest. It has the distinct property that it is not captured by the water of the body allowing it to penetrate the deepest to increase you core thermal energy. 
    Near infrared is associated with photobiomodulation which directly produces energy within the cells through ATP stimulation. 
    • Mid infrared wavelengths are also captured by water molecules while temporarily increasing circulation through vasodilation, promoting temporary increase in blood flow and temporarily elevating heart rate and overall metabolism.
    • Far infrared is the closest of the wavelengths to the infrared heat given off by our own body. Far infrared is readily captured by the water molecules in the body and releasing its energy. Our bodies actually give off far infrared wavelengths at about 9.4 microns. Since far infrared wavelengths feel very natural and normal to us, our energy is temporarily enhanced and strengthened.

Rather than use steam or the traditional “box of hot rocks” heating elements, the infrared sauna heaters use the infrared spectrum listed above to promote relaxation and other wellness benefits. Our robust true wave full spectrum heating system provides all wavelengths 100% of the time to optimize your sauna session. Benefits of the infrared sauna include:


               • Weight loss & increased metabolism

               • Detoxification

               • Reduces muscle aches, tension, stiffness & joint pain

               • Better sleep

               • Stress & fatigue reduction

               • Improves skin conditions

               • Improves circulation

               • Promotes relaxation
