FAR INFRARED SAUNA (FIR)

Infrared energy directly penetrates the body's tissues to a depth of over 1.5". Its energy output is tuned to correspond very closely to the body's own radiant energy that our bodies absorb as much as 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin.

The infrared energy applied in FIR saunas 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 110º to 130ºF vs. 180º to 235ºF for hot air saunas. The lower heat range is safer for those concerned about cardiovascular risk factors that might be adversely affected by the higher temperatures encountered in the old-style hot-air saunas.

Infrared sauna systems bring you the same infrared rays experienced in the traditional American Indian sweat lodge in a much more convenient and practical form. The cleansing and purifying benefits attributed to the traditional sweat lodges are now available for daily purification without the time consuming and extremely labor-intensive process that a sweat-lodge requires.
