| What is an infrared sauna? Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of radio waves. The radiation penetrates the body and heats through a process called conversion. Our infrared sauna contains several infrared heaters. The heaters do not rely on the air being hot, but only hot enough to prevent the body from cooling down without sweating. The units are contained in a room, allowing the air to heat and simulate the feel of a traditional sauna. Our infrared heaters produces radiant energy; the same heat we receive from the sun, but without the harmful ultraviolet rays. |

What are the benefits of the infrared
sauna?
Burns calories and controls weight
As you relax in the gentle heat of the sauna, your body is
actually hard at work, producing sweat, pumping blood -
and burning calories. According to a Journal of the
American Medical Association report, in a single sauna
session you may burn as many calories as you would rowing
or jogging for 30 minutes. So you lose weight - not just
water.
Relieves Pain
The deep heat of the infrared sauna helps peripheral blood
vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft
tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off
metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood
to oxygen-depleted muscles, so they recover faster.
Muscles relax most readily when tissues are warm, for
greater flexibility and range of motion.
Improves the Immune System
A sauna's deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing
an artificial fever. As it works to combat the "fever," your
body's immune system is strengthened. Combined with the
elimination of toxins and wastes produced by the intense
sweating, your overall health and resistance to disease is
increased.
Increases Blood Circulation and Strengthens the
Cardiovascular System
As your body increases sweat production to cool itself,
your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to
boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits of
continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and
metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure
drops, for improved overall cardiovascular fitness.
Increased blood circulation has also been shown to relieve
acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions and cuts. In
addition, open wounds heal more quickly, reducing
scarring.
"Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our
cardiovascular systems, not to build big leg muscles.
Regular use of a sauna may impart similar stress on the
cardiovascular system and its regular use may be as
effective as a means of cardiovascular conditioning and
burning of calories as regular exercise.... A moderately
conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 gms. in the
sauna, consuming nearly 300 calories."
Removes Toxins and Mineral Waste
Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands,
releasing built-up toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help
detoxify your body as it rids itself of an accumulation of
potentially carcinogenic heavy metals (lead, mercury, zinc,
nickel, cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium,
sulfuric acid and cholesterol.
Clears Cellulite
Infrared saunas help clear ugly cellulite, the gel-like lumps
of fat, water and debris trapped in pockets beneath the skin.
European beauty specialists routinely incorporate daily
saunas in programs to reduce cellulite. And because the
radiant heat of the Health Mate sauna warms three times as
deeply as conventional saunas, it is significantly more
effective at reducing cellulite.
Eases joint Pain and Stiffness
In Europe , radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat
patients suffering from many forms of arthritis. In addition,
it has been proven effective in the treatment of sprains,
neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many
other muscular-skeletal ailments. Much of the stiffness,
aches and soreness that comes with aging is reduced or
eliminated.
Reduces Stress and Fatigue
Perhaps the most immediate relief the sauna offers is
simple relaxation, as it melts away the stresses and tensions
of urban life. Just a few minutes in the gentle warmth of an
infrared sauna gives an overall massaging effect, soothing
jangled nerves and knotted muscles. You'll feel rejuvenated
and renewed, restored in both body and mind.
Improves Skin
The profuse sweating achieved after just a few minutes in
an infrared sauna carries off deeply embedded impurities
and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and
immaculately clean. Increased circulation draws your
skin's own natural nutrients to the surface. You'll see
improved tone, elasticity, texture and fresh color

| How does it differ from a traditional sauna experience? In a traditional sauna the air temperature typically runs between 169 to 190 °F , though temperatures over 200 °F are sometimes encountered. An infrared sauna uses a specific type of heater that creates infrared waves that heat your body directly, instead of just by the air. The temperature in them is much cooler, at around 110 to 130 °F. The amount of sweat that results from each is comparable, though many people report that the lower temperatures in an infrared sauna allow the user to stay inside longer, resulting in longer sauna sessions and therefore more overall sweating. |
