The warmth of the sun and the warmth you feel when you rub your hands together are forms of infrared heat (not to be confused with ultraviolet rays that cause sunburn and skin damage).

Far-infrared heat waves are gentle and comfortable. The waves are absorbed through your skin and penetrates as deep as 1-2 inches into your body to warm you directly and quickly. Because it heats you and not the air, the heat in a far-infrared sauna is not harsh on your lungs and skin (not like old-fashioned traditional steam and saunas).

The far-infrared heaters simulate the conversion process of the sun that naturally heats objects, but without the danger of UV. The warmth that you feel relaxes muscles, reduces stress, increases circulation, and burns calories.

Also, because of the deep penetration of the rays, you will sweat more toxins out of your body than you would in a traditional sauna. Far-infrared sauna sessions are widely accepted as the most effective way to detoxify your system from toxins, heavy metals such as mercury and aluminium, pesticides and other impurities.

DETOXIFICATION
Medical doctors and health practitioners worldwide recognize the far infrared sauna as perhaps the most effective method of removing both chemical and heavy metal toxins from the body. Far-infrared saunas are designed for Detox.

ENHANCED IMMUNE SYSTEM HEALTH
Each far infrared sauna session causes a brief, beneficial increase in body temperature, which improves immune system health by boosting production of infection-fighting white blood cells and killer T-cells.

IMPROVED CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING
Medical research shows that regular use of a far infrared sauna may be as effective for cardiovascular conditioning as exercise. As the body heats up, it cools itself by sending blood from the internal organs to the extremities and the skin, thus increasing heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.

STRESS RELIEF
High daily stress levels put constant strain on the body's nervous system and can contribute to chronic disease. The far infrared sauna helps to reduce physical stress by boosting circulation and triggering the production of endorphins, the "feel good" hormones.

WEIGHT LOSS & CELLULITE CONTROL
Toxins can play a significant role in preventing us from losing weight as well as gaining weight. Those wishing to lose weight should note that the cardiovascular effect from a single sauna session burns as many as 600 calories. The sauna is also quite effective at dealing with cellulite when combined with massage therapy and nutrition.

PAIN RELIEF
By dilating blood vessels, infrared heat increases blood circulation to injured areas, speeding up the healing process and relieving pain.
