Experience the Benefits of an Infrared Sauna

An infrared sauna utilizes technology that has a history thousands of years old. It is based on the healing principles of heat and is sometimes called radiant heat. With infrared heat, an object – such as the human body – is heated without the air in between being heated. The process is called conversion.

Radiant heat can be delivered through a variety of ways. Our primary source of infrared heat is the sun. But other common forms of radiant heat that people are familiar with are radiant floors, hot water radiators and fan-coil heaters.

These are all examples of infrared heat. They raise the warmth of objects in a room to a comfortable temperature without an open flame or forced air furnace.

A sauna that utilizes infrared technology is not the same as a normal sauna. By delivering radiant heat, you get the same rays as you would get sitting out in the sun, except that it filters out the UV radiation. It heats up your body without heating you up. It is safe and effective when used as directed.
