Far Infrared Energy vs. Traditional Sweat Bathing

Conventional steam heated saunas heat the air withsteam and usually operate at temperatures ranging from 180F-190F. Heating the steam not only takes longer to heat up, but also releases a steam that is often unbearably hot and difficult to breath. Furthermore, the steam only penetrates the walls of the skin, which creates nothing more than a surface sweat and does not reach deep down into the body's core.

On the contrary, Far Infrared Saunas operate effectively between 100F-130F, creating a warm and comfortable environment. This advantage is due to the Far Infrared energy waves that work off a process known as Direct Light Conversion. Direct Light Conversion is a phenomenon which only warms the object it focuses on and does not warm the free air surrounding it. Studies have shown that only 20% of the Far Infrared heat created in a sauna is lost into the air, leaving 80% to be absorbed by the body. The Infrared heat penetrates deep down into the body's core, creating a deep sweat, while also relaxing the muscles and internal organs. Our customers find that the relaxing sensation of a 15-30 minute sauna session becomes as habitual as unwinding with a hot bath or by having a nice glass of wine, it's that comfortable.
