  Infared Sauna - how it works....
 

What's a far infrared ray
A Far Infrared Ray is a form of electromagnetic light energy from the sun. It falls within the same family as Infrared Rays in the light spectrum, but due to its longer wavelengths, FIR cannot be seen by human eyes, just like ultraviolet rays and X-rays. This radiant energy is absolutely essential for human beings and all living things in the world.

The functions of far infrared sauna



Biological research shows that far infrared rays with wavelength between 5.6um and 15um are the best-absorbed by the human body. They are beneficial to all living things. The human body is no exception; moreover, they have particular affects on the growth and health of the human body, and are indispensable to the maintenance of health for humans. We therefore call far infrared rays within the range mentioned above "bio-spectrum" rays:

  • Enhances circulation in both deep and surface tissues.
  • Accelerates metabolism (at least 600 calories burned in 30 minutes).
  • Boosts the immune system.
  • Enhances detoxification processes.
  • Reduces pain (promotes analgesia).
  • Promotes deep cleansing of skin pores.
  • Induces muscle relaxation.
  • Accelerates breakdown of cellulite/fat.
  • Improves skin nourishment/skin condition.
  • Accelerates healing from wounds, injuries, and surgeries, and thus reduces scarring.
  • Reduces physiological and mental/emotional stress.
  • Warms muscles (maximizes muscle performance and minimizes exercise related injury).
  • Enhances nutrient/oxygen supply to deep tissues.
  • Improves digestion.
  • Promotes softening and elasticity of old scars (internal or external) and keloids.
  • Provides an anti-cancer effect (induced by hypothermia, enhanced immune and circulatory systems and elimination of carcinogenic toxins)
