Why an FAR Infrared Sauna?
It delivers all the time-honored, proven benefits of heat therapy for aches, pains and stiffness
- * Promotes reduction of inflammation through increased circulation
- * Treats the pain of arthritis
- * Reduces join stiffness
- * Reduces muscle spasms
- * Provides post exercise muscle pain relief
- * Promotes wound healing
It produces metabolic weight loss
Reports say although weight may drop by as much as four pounds during a long session,
you are primarily losing fluids and not burning fat. This weight will return as soon as you drink
fluids. However, to produce one gram of sweat requires 0.568Kcal. Thus, reports state a conditioned
person can easily lose 500 grams of sweat in a sauna, consuming nearly 300Kcal (equivalent to a 2-3 mile run).
While the weight of the water will be regained easily by drinking, the calories will not.
Health and appearance benefits claimed by medical practitioners in Europe and Asia and by doctors of naturopathic,

- * Melts and sweats out cellulite
Low initial cash outlay and operating cost

It can reduce stress levels
Seclude yourself in your very own sauna - take a moment to get away, from the kids or the hustle and bustle of
the day. You can relax, unwind and listen to some of your favorite music while letting the warm temperatures melt the
tension away from your body. Or pop in on a cold day and warm up while reading your favorite book - since your sauna
will warm up in 5 to 10 minutes, you won't have long to wait!
It is perfectly safe to use
- * It is safe to use as a hot air sauna
- * Uses infrared energy which is the warmth from the sun
- * Will not cause tanning or promote skin cancer (tanning is caused by ultraviolet (UV) light, not infrared light)
- * It is the same technology used to warm premature babies
It is very effective, perhaps the best way to deliver heat therapy
- * More efficient heat transfer and deeper tissue and joint penetration than by using hot air, steam, or hot water
- * More comfortable than normal saunas; no hot air, hot water or steam to sear you skin or make breathing difficult or uncomfortable. Air in the infrared sauna is heated to 110-120F, not the 150-180F in a traditional hot air sauna.
It is easy to install and portable
- * Just plug it into a 110v wall receptacle the way you would any small appliance.
- * Assembles and disassembles in 30 minutes; take it with you if you move
