What is an Infrared Sauna?
A good way to answer this common question is by comparing infrared saunas to conventional saunas. Conventional Saunas transfer heat through the air at sometimes untolerable temperatures. Conventional saunas transfer heat through the circulation of hot air. The air then makes contact with your body and warms it on the surface. The temperature of conventional saunas must be quite high to be effective therapeutically. The temperature must be so high because conventional saunas warm the body’s surface rather than penetrating deep into the body. The high temperature can be uncomfortable and is not tolerated well by some people. This can also be dangerous for people who have certain medical conditions. Infrared Saunas give off radiant heat rays that penetrate deep into the body. Radiant heat is a form of energy that heats objects directly without heating the air in between. Infrared Saunas transmit radiant heat through invisible rays of light known as far-infrared. This is also called “infra
