Is Infrared Sauna Therapy Safe?
It sure is. In fact, panels that produce similar infrared rays are used in hospitals to warm newborn babies. Even NASA has used infrared heat to keep their astronauts warm. So no need to worry. Infrared energy has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you a sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation (the kind from a nuclear bomb). The infrared segment of the electromagnetic spectrum occurs just below or infra to red light as the next lowest energy band of light. This band of light is not visible to human eyes but can be seen by special cameras that translate infrared into colors visible to our eyes. We can, however, feel this type of light that we perceive as heat. And according to the “9th edition of Clayton’s Electrotherapy”, “infrared is the only antidote to excessive ultraviolet radiation.” Far infrared heat/energy is also capable of neutralizing the negative effects of toxic electromagnetic frequencies (EMF’s). Confused? Well, maybe you’d like to rea
