Why Use FIR Saunas ?
 FIR sauna therapy systems duplicate the healthy FIR frequencies produced by the sun so bodily tissues absorb FIR waves as the water in the body's cells reacts in a process called resonant absorption, which occurs when the frequency of the FIR waves matches the frequency of the water in the cell causing toxins to drop off into the bloodstream and be excreted in sweat, feces and urine. Not only does the perspiration produced by FIR waves contain more toxins and less water, but toxins will also be expelled out through the kidneys, liver and even hair due to resonant absorption.
Sauna To Remove Toxins
• Sweat produced under normal conditions contains 97% water and 3% toxins on average.
• Sweat produced from a FIR sauna is 80-85% water and 15-20% toxins.
• Toxins excreted due to FIR wave penetration include heavy metals, pesticides and other petroleum-based chemicals, as well as fat itself.
• None of these toxic substances appear in typical sweat, only in sweat produced from a FIR sauna, in part because FIR waves penetrate so deeply into the flesh up to 3.5 inches.
• The body absorbs as much as 93% of FIR radiant heat compared with only 20% of heat generated by traditional sources.
• The increased production of perspiration produces a vast array of healthful benefits.
FIR v Steam Sauna
Radiant heat produced by FIR waves is more efficient than conduction heat because it warms the body directly. Conduction heat warms the air that then warms you, which is not nearly as beneficial to us since it only penetrates half an inch into the flesh and does not produce resonant absorption. This inefficient dry heat causes mucous membranes to quickly dry out in the nasal passage, which is why water or steam is often used in traditional saunas. FIR heat alleviates this problem by hydrating these delicate membranes as it clears the sinuses.
FIR Sauna For Health
FIR saunas improve the body's cardiovascular system by working the heart as it attempts to cool the body. Increased circulation has been shown to:
• Relieve acne.
• Eczema.
• Psoriasis.
• Burns.
• Lesions and cuts.
• Open wounds heal faster, which reduces scarring.
• Peripheral blood vessels dilate to help heal muscles and soften tissue while delivering oxygen-rich blood to muscles, helping to soothe sore muscles after a strenuous workout. Knotted muscles are also relaxed by FIR waves as though they had been massaged.
FIR Advantages
 FIR saunas do not use water, thus eliminating plumbing costs, cleanup and potential bacterial problems. FIR saunas also have a vent in the door and in the top of the unit so fresh air can circulate through the unit. They are significantly less claustrophobic due to this air circulation that is not permitted with traditional saunas because of potential heat loss. This is a great benefit because it makes using a FIR sauna a short, pleasant, healthful experience. FIR saunas require 90% less electrical energy to operate than traditional saunas. Traditional saunas require 30 - 90 minutes to warm up before they can be used. Once in the traditional sauna, many people find the high temperatures difficult, if not impossible, to tolerate for long. A session in a FIR sauna requires only 20 - 40 minutes to accomplish its incredible health benefits. They operate at lower, more tolerable temperatures, 1150 F - 1400 F, require only 10 - 15 minutes to warm up and produce 5 - 7 times more sweat than conventional saunas.
Literally Burn Fat
A 20 - 40 minute session will burn 200 - 500 calories, as many as rowing a boat for 30 minutes or running several miles. Many people who have attempted weight loss through dieting and have not been successful will find a FIR sauna helpful in this regard because often the inability to lose weight is associated with chemical toxicity. As toxins are removed from the body using a FIR sauna, weight loss naturally follows. FIR saunas are the only natural, healthy way to burn calories without exercising. Fat becomes water soluble at 100°F. Once the body has risen to this temperature, fat will be sweated out and removed through the bloodstream. As the body's temperature rises to over 100F, the immune system kicks in to fight the "artificial fever" created by the penetrating FIR waves.
Relax
The most immediate and noticeable effect is the tremendous relaxation that FIR heat provides. This deep relaxation alone can have a profound impact on your health in a positive way. Unlike traditional conduction-heat saunas that are difficult to remain in for long because of the intense heat, a FIR sauna is quite the opposite. You can read, mediate listen to music or carry on a pleasant conversation with a friend or relative while in the FIR sauna. Stress is relieved in the comfortable warmth providing you with the sensation of complete rejuvenation. Unlike a traditional heat-driven sauna that leaves you tired and drained of energy, a 30 minute session in a FIR sauna has the opposite effect of energizing you due to the cardiovascular activity it induces and the cleansing effects that FIR waves have on the body. The skin is conditioned and the skin pores are incredibly well cleansed.
Conclusion
Saunas have a very positive health benefit, from just relaxing to detoxifying or building a healthy immune system. They really come into their own as part of an integrated approach to health when combined with exercise and diet FIR saunas are not expensive to purchase or run and waste very little energy compared to steam or wet saunas. When set against the staggering rises in precription charges and health costs they are a worth while investment.

Blood vessels become more flexible and there is increased circulation to the extremities. During a sauna, blood flow to the skin increases to as high as 50-70% of cardiac output (compared to the standard 5-10%). This brings nutrients to subcutaneous and surface tissue resulting in glowing healthy skin.
