Far Infrared Saunas - Radiant Heat Therapy in a Home Sauna

Far Infrared Saunas - Modern Heat Therapy for Radiant Health

Heat Therapy Combined with Modern Technology

Far Infrared Saunas combine an ancient therapy with modern technology, providing radiant heat to help recovery from injury and the preservation of good health. During the last 25 years research has made major headway in relation to the health benefits of infrared heat as a healing agent.

Far Infrared Heat is now commonly used in medical care equipment and home health care products. Having a

home Far Infrared Sauna makes you a beneficiary of this knowledge and research.

What is Infrared Heat?

Very simply, heat from the sun travels to earth by the means of waves, called electromagnetic waves. These waves have a variety of lengths, or wavelengths. Some of these waves can be detected by the human eye - others cannot. The waves we are able see are referred to as visible light and they bounce off everything around us. Red is the colour of visible light.

The Latin word infra means below, so infrared means below red; meaning it has a shorter wavelength than visible light, so we cannot see it – but we can feel it. The discovery of light that is not visible with the naked eye (infrared light) was first made in 1800 by William Herschel – the same man who discovered the planet Uranus.

These heat waves also vary so we find reference to Near, Far and Far Far infrared waves. These waves are commonly referred to as heat rays and heat is in fact infrared radiation. So, the heat we feel from the sun, a fire, the warm ground or our own body is infrared heat.

How do Infrared Rays Heat Your Body?

This happens through a process called conversion. The heat can penetrate the body without actually heating the surrounding air. Hence, infrared heat can penetrate your body without making the air surrounding you too hot for comfort.

This is a distinct advantage for many people in terms of choice for a home sauna. An Infrared Sauna has all the health benefits of the more conventional Steam Saunas but without what may be seen by some people as the discomfort.

If you're not into getting all steamed up, then a Far Infrared Sauna may be the best choice for you.

What are the Health Benefits?

Infrared or radiant heat is nothing like ultraviolet radiation, which causes sun cancer. Rather, Infrared Heat Therapy helps to increase blood circulation and raises the level of oxygen and white blood cells in your blood which helps your immune system to function well.

Insomnia is another debilitating disorder that can be helped by Far Infrared Heat Therapy. After a session in a Far Infrared Sauna it is quite normal for you feel very relaxed and ready for sleep. This is particularly true if combined with a relaxing massage. An excellent means of coping with stress.

Due to the penetrative nature of Infrared Rays, Infrared Heat has proved to be a useful aid for the treatment of: joint and muscle problems, gives relief to sufferers of arthritis, helps with recovery of

sporting injuries, helps carpal tunnel syndrome and Parkinson’s Disease.

Are there any Anti-Aging Benefits?

There certainly are some problems associated with aging, but dealing with them before they become a reality gives you a better chance of experiencing a healthy and enjoyable (post-prime) life.

Disorders such as osteoporosis, digestive problems, and headaches have been linked to an excess of acidity in the body due to a diet (in many countries) high in acid producing foods. Alkalizing the system is a means of controlling such disorders. But, how can you do that?

Obviously changing your diet is one answer, but in addition to that the use of Far Infrared Heat Therapy helps the body with eliminating excess acids, through increasing body temperature and thereby increasing circulation which in turn aids elimination.

Is a Far Infrared Sauna Safe?

There have been many reports and much discussion about the possible negative effects relating to the exposure of certain kinds of electromagnetic fields. These include high-tension power lines, cell phones and computer display terminals.

Tests conducted in Japan have revealed that Far Infrared heating systems are free of toxic electromagnetic fields. The researchers go so far as to claim that Far Infrared Heat is an antidote for the negative effects of electromagnetic sources.

According to research, we can conclude that Far Infrared Heat Therapy is safe for all the family.

So, whether you are in recovery or are just in pursuit of radiant health - a Far Infrared Sauna may be your best choice.
