Are Infrared saunas safe to use?
Infrared saunas use safe and effective radiant heat just like the sun’s soothing warmth. Radiant heat is more efficient because it warms you, not the air around you. Your body directly absorbs as much as 93% of the heat generated. Far infrared radiation (FIR) is considered harmless for human. Infrared heaters are even used to heat premature babies in hospitals incubators. But some people with certain illnesses and conditions should not use an infrared sauna or should use it with great caution. The infrared radiant waves penetrate the body’s tissues to a depth of over one and one half inchs. Its energy output is tuned to correspond very closely to the body’s own radiant energy that our bodies generate.
