When we reach critical toxicity or stress levels we no longer have the energy to repair or detoxify our bodies. Supporting the body’s natural abilities to heal itself, the act of detoxification is paramount in today’s polluted and fast-paced world. While a FIR sauna still increases body core temperatures to induce sweating, enhance circulation and the removal of accumulated toxins in the body, it does so in a much gentler manner, and not to the extremes that a regular sauna can cause. The elderly or those with cardiovascular issues or heart weaknesses may find the heat of a regular sauna too much to bear. Because saunas using FIR technology do not heat the air, they can often be used by individuals who normally cannot use a regular sauna. While most of us are familiar with sweating out toxins in a sauna, this experience actually becomes much more pleasant in a far infrared sauna. Here is an overview of some of the main ways that FIR saunas have been demonstrated to aid in good health maintenance:Īs one of the main reasons for using any type of sauna, detoxification is a crucial aspect of good health. This gentle heating that permeates into the body’s tissues proffers a number of different health benefits.
Rather than the conduction and convection heating methods of a conventional sauna that simply heat the air and surfaces inside the unit, far infrared saunas warm the body from within, as the body’s cells immediately absorb the beneficial and natural heat that FIR generates. Specialized FIR technology uses infrared heaters to emit radiant heat that is absorbed immediately by the surface of the skin, permeating two to three inches into the body’s tissues. While conventionally heated saunas transfer heat by circulating hot air, FIR warms the body directly. How do Far Infrared Saunas Benefit Health? When the clouds come over the sun the air temperature often remains the same, but we feel colder because of the absence of the FIR penetrating our bodies at that moment. Far infrared rays are responsible for the healing warmth we feel on a sunny day. Individuals with low levels of FIR are generally found to have a variety of problematic health issues. FIRs are naturally present in the human body, and we feel better when we’re exposed to them. They are not to be confused with ultraviolet (UV) light that can cause burning and damage to the skin. Only the far infrared rays, also referred to as “FIR”, penetrate organic substances (including the human body) up to three inches.įIRs are the healthy rays from sunlight, responsible for photosynthesis and life on earth. Near infrared is measured in 0.76 to 1.5 micron wavelengths, middle infrared is measured in 1.5 to 5.6 micron wavelengths and far infrared is measured in 5.6 to 1000 micron wavelengths. Producing most of its energy output in this infrared segment of the spectrum, the sun’s infrared wavelengths are divided by microns into three segments. As a band of light that cannot be seen with the naked eye, infrared rays are perceived as heat.
