There is a new movement emerging that many of us are not aware of yet. People across the globe are opening their homes to Far Infrared Ray (FIR) Saunas. Traditionally people have sought out steam saunas, but that is changing. Let's see if we can figure out why.
FIR saunas emit far infrared rays, which are part of the sun's natural spectrum, just beyond visible red. They warm the body directly instead of heating the air in the enclosure like traditional steam saunas. Steam saunas require temperatures ranging from 175-200F (80-95C) to promote perspiration and some people have difficulty breathing this hot humid air. The lower heat range of 160-175F (70-80C) for the FIR-Real sauna produces similar results.
Greater muscle relaxation is realized from the deep penetrating heat of infrared saunas. The heat from FIR saunas also improves our ability to remove toxins because of its deep penetrating (2-3 in. or 5-8 cm) heat.
Steam saunas do not offer the benefits of dry heat like infrared saunas do. Dry heat does not allow for mold, mildew or bacteria to thrive in the sauna environment. Sweating in an infrared sauna is the sanitary way to go.
The sweat that we generate during a steam sauna contains mostly water, roughly98 %. At the same time, the sweat from infrared saunas in only around 80% water, which means a lot more unwanted toxins are leaving our bodies. Materials often found in the FIR sauna sweat are sodium, ammonia, heavy metals, uric acid etc.
The infrared sauna is choice for the budget conscious person. As a result of their low heat operation, FIR saunas require roughly 4 time less energy than a steam sauna. With great energy efficiency your savings will be evident on your power bill.
FIR saunas can be portable. Their portability makes them hugely popular. Having the option to pack up your sauna and take it with you is definitely a convenience that sets infrared saunas apart from steam.
The many amazing health benefits and ease of use make far infrared ray saunas and easy sell. They seem poised to overtake the popularity of traditional steam saunas. - 30453
