The Ultimate Sauna Company for FAR Infrared Saunas

Far Infrared is the part of the Sun's spectrum upon which all life depends.

Far infrared rays are used by plants in photosynthesis to grow. So without far infrared we'd have no food. Consequently the Earth would be totally barren.

The easiest way to understand Far Infra red is to imagine standing out on a crisp but sunny day. The blue sky has only a few clouds dotted around moving slowly in a gentle breeze. Feel the Sun's far infrared warming your face, your arms and your legs. Now see a cloud pass over the sun. You suddenly feel cooler .

What happened? The air has not cooled down. But you do feel cooler. Those beneficial far infrared rays have been temporarily blocked by the cloud.

Although the Sun is a huge transmitter of far infrared rays your own body transmits them too. In fact every living thing and the Earth give out far infrared all the time.

The far infrared sauna uses modern technology to warm you and not the air around you.

The Scientific Basis and Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared Ray Therapy

Dr. Toshio Yamazaki is the author of "The Scientific Basis and Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared Ray Therapy", and other books. She notes health problems helped or reduced with Far infrared technology include:

Asthma, Bronchitis (cleared up)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (7 out of 10 cases resolved in one clinical trial)
Cancer pain (greatly relieved)
Cirrhosis of the Liver (reversed)
Chrone's disease (cleared)
Cold hand and feet (20-25% improvement maintained)
Cystitis (gone)
Duodenal ulcers (eliminated)
Gastritis (relieved)
Haemorrhoids (reduced)
Hepatitis (gone
High Blood pressure (reduced)
Keloids (significantly softened and in some cases completely gone)
Leg ulcers (healed)
Radiation sickness (relieved signs and symptoms)
Teenage skin problems (cleared)
Tinitus (chronic case cleared in 10 treatments)
Eczema and Psoriasis (responded well)
Pain Relief

Compare an Infrared Sauna with a Conventional Sauna

Far Infrared Sauna	Conventional Sauna
Simply plugs into a 13amp mains socket.	Needs to be wired up with 180 degree heat resistant cabling for the lights and stove.
Heated to a range of 110° to 130°F. Leaving the air comfortable to breathe.	Heated to a range of 180° to 235°F. The air can become uncomfortable to breathe.
Warm up period of 10 to 15 minutes. Means a Far Infrared sauna can be used whenever you like and the cost of heating up is much less than a conventional sauna. Using as little as 0.3KW of electricity.	Warm up period of 60 to 90 minutes Means that you have to plan when to use the conventional sauna. Costly initial warm-up using minimum of 3KW.
Approx 20% of the far infrared energy heats the air the remainder heats the person. Means a much lower running cost than a conventional sauna.	Heats the air first and the air heats the person. So not as effective at heating the person. Higher running cost than the far infrared sauna.
You produce 2-3 times the volume of sweat of a conventional sauna. Means better detoxification as more toxins can be driven out through the extra volume.	1/2 to 1/3 volume of sweat of a far infrared sauna. Means less effective detoxification.
No water is needed to create steam or to cool you down, so less likelyhood of mould growing in your house due to the sauna humidity.	Steam and water vapour in the air bring increased risk of mould growth which in turn creates its own toxins.
Radiant heat goes deeper which gives a beneficial cardiovascular workout as well as providing the deepest possible detoxification. As it reaches to the Subcutis/Hypodermis (fat and toxin storage area deep under our skin).	Convection heat is applied on the surface of the skin means less (if any) cardiovascular workout and less effective detoxification as it cannot reach as deep.

You can benefit from using an Infrared Sauna too
Far infrared saunas can even be used by heart patients. Obviously having checked with their doctors first!

The reason?
It's because the high air temperatures of a conventional sauna is likely to be uncomfortable and even dangerous for heart patients. The lower temperatures in a far infrared sauna make it a much safer and more pleasant experience.

The Japanese are keen users of far infrared saunas and they have done vast amounts of research to prove its use in promoting health and healing.

Far Infrared Studies (Clinical research Cases)
In the first clinical study by the First Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Kagoshima University, Kagoshima, Japan Nanpuh Hospital, Kagoshima, Japan reported that repeated 60°C sauna treatment improves clinical symptoms in patients with chronic heart failure.

A further clinical study reported in Journal of the American College of Cardiology (2002; 39:754-759) concluded that repeated far infrared sauna treatment improves vascular endothelial function, resulting in an improvement in cardiac function and clinical symptoms.

There have also been extensive studies proving the positive effects of Far Infrared on the signs of aging in particularly in reducing wrinkles. Please click here to find out more.
