Infrared Sauna Therapy
Infrared saunas can create the same infrared heat produced by the sun that all living things require for optimum health, without the harmful UV radiation. This radiant heat increases the thermal energy in joints, muscles, and tissues.
Infrared heat is all around us. You have felt it from sources like fire, heated sand on the beach, and sunlight. Just as visible light has a range of wavelengths (running from red to violet), so does infrared light: longer wavelength or far-infrared waves are thermal, while short or near-infrared waves are not hot at all.
When you are sitting in a traditional sauna, you are sitting in a hot room; 180-220 degrees. In contrast, infrared saunas usually operate between 125-155 degrees, and about 20% of the heat is warming the air while the other 80% directly increases thermal energy in your body. The warming effect on your body temporarily stimulates your cardiovascular system, your immune system, and your lymphatic system. Your body's response to that is to sweat.
