Far Infrared Sauna

Far infrared radiation (FIR) waves (defined as any radiation with wavelengths of 15 micrometers (μm) to 1 mm) is light from the sun, that not only provides us with daylight, but also becomes energy that all living things use to grow and flourish. These rays penetrate our bodies to activate the sweat glands. As the sweat glands offer one of only a few mechanisms that the body has to eliminate toxins, and since the skin is the largest organ in the human body, it is a good means for elimination.

A common usage of infrared technology is in hospitals for neonatal beds, which are used to keep newborn babies warm. Other uses for far infrared radiation therapies include: arthritis, back and neck pain, joint stiffness, carpal tunnel syndrome and temporomandibular joint pain. FIR has also been shown to improve blood circulation for the skin and internal organs, as well as support cardiovascular health (heart and blood vessels).

When far infrared waves are applied to water molecules (comprising 70% of our body) these molecules begin to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds and the eventual breakdown of the water molecules causes encapsulated gasses and other toxic materials to be released, which helps to improve one's overall health.

Full Spectrum Infrared

Full spectrum refers to the entire infrared spectrum: near infrared, mid infrared and far infrared. With the addition of near and mid infrared, you will get the maximum benefit from our Jacuzzi® sauna.

Near Infrared is the shortest wavelength, and will be absorbed just below the surface of the skin creating a sweat that promotes healing and revitalization.

Mid infrared is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the body’s soft tissue increasing circulation, releasing oxygen to reach injured areas.

Far infrared is the longest wavelength that penetrates the fat cells causing vasodilation, where the fat cells vibrate to expel toxins, resulting in the greatest levels of detoxification and stimulate your metabolism to aid in weight-loss.

The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all of this energy is beneficial. Although life needs energy from the sun, too much sunlight damages the skin. Infrared heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation.
