About Far Infrared Sauna Therapy
A far infrared sauna therapy treatment can last from 10 minutes to one hour, depending on health, age and needs. Our specialized far infrared sauna contains state-of-the-art imported German black carbon far infrared heating panels and a full spectrum Vitae lamp from France.
The Vitae lamp helps offset the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), often experienced during winter months when available sunlight is less than adequate.
Infrared heat is the same as that produced by the sun but without the harmful ultra violet rays (which cause sunburn and can damage your skin) or atomic radiation.
Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum.
What Is Far or Long-wave Infrared
Far or long-wave infrared occurs just below, or infra to, red light as the next lowest energy band. Infrared light is not visible to human eyes but can be seen with special cameras. We can feel this type of light, which we perceive as heat.
Infrared energy is also given off as body heat. Our palms, for instance, emit energy at between 8-14 microns.
The wavelengths of infrared light are measured in units called microns. The human body can absorb infrared energy in the 3-50 micron range, with the best absorption occurring at 9.4 microns.
Our sauna emits heat in an ideal 7-14 micron range with a peak at 9.4 microns, penetrating body tissue up to a depth of 1.5 inches. The energy heats the body directly without heating the air.
The human body can absorb infrared heat more effectively than heat from traditional hot air saunas, which means deeper penetration into body tissues in a shorter period of time. Individuals with breathing disorders or those who otherwise find it difficult to breathe in conventional saunas are able to enjoy their infrared sauna experience.
