What Is an Infrared Sauna

An infrared sauna is a way to improve your physical and mental health. This treatment has been used for many years and provided a way for its users to detoxify their bodies. It uses infrared technology to produce a natural source of heat that is better for your body than artificial heat sources found in other types of saunas.

How it Works

An infrared sauna works by converting far infrared rays also known as FIRs. These rays are converted from a natural light source through a process called direct light conversion. The result is a heat source that is deeper penetrating than that of any other type of sauna, and is much more beneficial for many types of health problems.

Health Benefits

Infrared saunas can be used to treat many different health problems. This type of sauna is an excellent way to detoxify your body of all impurities including those that have a problem with drugs and alcohol. Speeding up the detoxification process will allow the body of a person with these problems to get rid of the impurities within their bodies so that they can recover quicker. 

Circulation can be improved by the use of an infrared sauna, as well as providing a deep muscle relaxation to sore or overextended muscles. Any problem that would benefit from heat therapy will benefit greatly from the use of an infrared sauna. Some respiratory problems can also be treated with the use of infrared sauna therapy.

Warnings

Authentic infrared saunas can pose health problems for the user if over-used. These infrared rays contain electromagnetic rays such as those found in medical imaging equipment and can be dangerous to the body if over used. Although the frequency of the infrared rays can be adjusted, it is impossible to adjust the rays to a level that they do not harm the body over time.
