Choosing Between Saunas

If you’re wondering what the difference between FAR infrared saunas and traditional steam saunas is, look no further! One of the main differences is how heat is generated. While FAR infrared saunas generate heat as light waves, traditional steam saunas generate convectional heat by using electricity to heat rocks. Another key difference is the time it takes for the sauna to heat up – FAR infrared saunas take about 10-15 minutes to heat up, while traditional Steam saunas take about an hour. Additionally, FAR infrared saunas run about 30° cooler than traditional saunas, but you may sweat more than you would in a traditional steam sauna as your body absorbs the light waves.

Infrared vs Traditional Saunas

Both infrared and traditional saunas offer a plethora of health benefits and unparalleled relaxation experiences. Infrared saunas use infrared light waves to directly warm the body, leading to a deep, detoxifying sweat. This method is known for its ability to boost circulation, promote skin health, alleviate muscle tension, and support weight loss by elevating heart rate similarly to a moderate workout. Moreover, the deep penetrating heat of infrared saunas can aid in faster recovery post workouts and relieve joint pain.

On the other hand, traditional saunas use heat to warm the air, which then warms the body. This process is revered for its ability to cleanse the body, improve cardiovascular function, strengthen the immune system, and help alleviate stress and anxiety. By promoting intense perspiration, traditional saunas aid in the expulsion of toxins, providing a rejuvenating cleanse for the body.

INFRARED RAYS – the Benefits of NEAR, MID, and FAR Infrared Waves:

Our saunas used infrared wave to penetrate into your body tissue and dissolve harmful substances accumulated in your body. Infrared rays vitalize your cells and metabolism. With Full Spectrum, you get health benefits at various levels of Infrared – NEAR, MID and FAR. FAR Infrared penetrates the deepest into the tissue to break down toxins while NEAR generates the most heat to your body. FAR Infrared has the longest wavelength and penetrates the deepest in to the body tissue reaching the adipose tissue (fatty tissue) and activating the sweat glands, which is why we use primarily far-infrared rays in our steam saunas.

The sweat glands are one of the only mechanisms that the body has to eliminate toxins. MID Infrared penetrates the body tissue leading to increased blood flow and circulation and reduces muscle and joint pain. NEAR Infrared has a lower micron level and penetrates the epidermis layer of the skin leading to improved cell health, renewal of skin, tissue growth, and inflammation reduction. With the combination of NEAR, MID, and Far – the experienced health benefits can range from lowered blood pressure and increased blood circulation to sweating out heavy metals and toxins from the body resulting in a healthier lifestyle.

How to Use an Infrared Sauna

Using an infrared sauna is easier than you think. There are simple guidelines you can follow to increase overall beneficial results from your sauna sessions. As you become more familiar and comfortable with your infrared sauna, you can adjust these guidelines to fit your personal needs. Always remember to drink plenty of fluids prior to, during, and after your sauna session. Begin by preheating your infrared sauna to a desired temperature. This can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes depending on the size of your sauna and the ambient temperature. The most common temperatures for beginners will be in the range of 110° F to 118° F. Experiment within this range to find what is comfortable for you.

While you are waiting for your sauna to preheat, there are a few ways you can prepare for your sauna session. Taking a warm bath/shower or doing some light physical exercises will prepare your body for the sauna session. These activities will shorten the amount of time it will take for your body to begin perspiring once you enter the sauna.

Now you are ready to begin your session. Start with one or two sauna session(s) per week. When entering the sauna, wear as little clothing as possible. Infrared rays have difficulty penetrating clothing. Take at least two towels inside the sauna with you, one to sit on and the other to wipe away perspiration. Adjust the timer to reflect a 15 to 20 minute session. Gradually, you can increase this time with future sessions.

Use your session to relax, meditate, and escape from your everyday stress. Enjoy the benefits of your infrared sauna as you detox your body through perspiration. Massage areas of the body that ache to relieve sore and tense muscles. From time to time, wipe off the excess perspiration to allow for more intense sweating. If at any time you feel dizzy, sleepy, or any discomfort, exit the sauna immediately.

After your sauna session is over, turn the power off and sit in the sauna with the door opened slightly for about 10 minutes and let your body cool down. Although the sauna heat emitters are turned off, your body will still continue to perspire. Once your body has cooled down, you can exit the sauna. Wait at least 20 minutes before taking a warm shower to rinse the perspiration from your body.
