We've had one for a few years and love it! It's one of the best ways

to get rid of heavy metals and pesticide residues. Sweating is a safe

and effective way to get rid of stored chemicals in the body.

Whereas a regular sauna is so hot that many people could never could

tolerate it... makes you feel weak, sick, fast heart rate, faint,

dizzy, headachy.... a FIR sauna is tolerated much better because it

uses a heat energy that penetrates the tissues better, allowing an

overall lower temperature to be used. I highly recommend it!

Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is a form of naturally occurring

energy that heats objects by a process called direct light

conversion. Radiant heat is also called infrared heat or infrared

energy. Direct light conversion warms only the object and does not

raise the temperature of the surrounding free air. This type of

energy travels 2-3 " deep into the body and increases circulation and

nourishes damaged tissue. FIR has the ability to penetrate, refract,

radiate and reflect. The human body can absorb FIR because of its

deep penetrating ability. When FIR penetrates through skin to the

subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy into heat

energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of the tissues

causes bloods vessels and capillaries to dilate, promoting a better

blood circulation, and the heat so produced helps to get rid of body

toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating.

FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of energy

within the 5 to 15 micron level. The infrared segment of the

electromagnetic spectrum occurs just below (infra) to red light as

the next lowest energy band of light. This band of light is not

visible to human eyes but can be seen by special cameras. We can,

however, feel this type of light that we perceive as heat. Our sun

produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the

spectrum.

Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural

sunlight. FIR heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-

visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body

normally.Traditional steam saunas raise the temperature of the air to

a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people

have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. FIR saunas work

differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, FIR

saunas heat the body directly. The result is a lower power bill and

deeper tissue penetration. In the FIR sauna, the body perspires and

receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and

extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna. FIR saunas are also

safe for all ages, very young and very old.

Some of the many benefits include better circulation and increased

energy, weight loss, cardiovascular health, speed recovery from

injuries, detoxification and improved immune system.

thanks, very interesting. does it work like the sun in that it can give you

a burn?

No, a FIR sauna provides all the benefits of natural sunlight without

the damaging effects of solar radiation. Remember, this is IR and

not UV radiation.

ok, that sounds good. i wonder if any of the gyms gave them. i think i

will into it
