Infrared Sauna

Service Description

Infrared Sauna uses infrared heaters to emit infrared radiant heat, which is absorbed directly into the human body, unlike the traditional hot-air sauna. Traditional hot-air saunas must rely only on indirect means of heat: first on convention (air currents) and then conduction (direct contact of hot air with the skin) to produce its healing affects. The internal production of infrared energy that normally occurs within our tissues is associated with a variety of healing responses and may require a boost to a maximal level to insure the fullest healing response possible in a tissue under repair.  The sun is the principal source that we experience daily. The infrared Sauna is just like the heat from the sun or which that our own bodies produce as they burn fuel to keep us warm. The infrared energy applied in the Infrared Sauna may induce up to 2-3 times the sweat volume of a traditional hot-air sauna, while operating at a significantly cooler air temperature range of 110-130 F degrees versus 180-235 F degrees. Due to the deep penetration over 1.5" into the skin of the infrared rays, there is a heating effect deep in the muscular tissues and the internal organs. The infrared Sauna has been recognized throughout history and by different cultures as a viable means of relaxing and cleansing the body, improving overall health, and promoting a sense of well being.
