What is the difference between an Infrared Sauna and Hot Rock (Steam) Sauna?
In a Steam Sauna heat is first created by a method of heating stones to a high temperature, then water is poured on the stones to create Steam. The Steam then heats the air which consequently heats the body. Typical temperatures in a Steam Sauna are 76 to 88 Degrees Celsius and can be uncomfortable over a period of time. Infrared radiant heat heats the body directly and operate at lower temperatures, typically 45 to 55 Degrees Celsius, which mean they use less power to heat and are more comfortable meaning that you can stay in longer, sweat more, and receive more health benefits.
