Saunas- How do they work?

FAR Infrared South African Saunas

Our customers often ask, "What exactly is Far Infrared heat?" We have all experienced the following: It's a partly cloudy day and you are outside and it feels cool. All of a sudden the clouds move out of the way of the sun and a rush of warmth comes over you. This warm feeling is the far infrared band of sunlight warming your body.

The far infrared band is part of the sun's invisible spectrum of light. This band of light has the ability to penetrate our skin and warm our body directly. The far infrared heat produced by your SA Sauna Infrared^® Sauna is totally safe as there are none of the harmful rays of sunlight produced by our heaters, just natural healing heat. In fact, this heat is so safe that is it used in hospitals to keep newborns warm.

Many of the heaters you see in other infrared saunas were designed for industrial use - used to cure paint on cars, etc. Only SA Sauna Infrared's Pure Ceramic Far infrared heaters were designed specifically for an infrared sauna to give you the health and relaxation benefits you are looking for.

In an infrared sauna, the quality of the infrared heat is the most important factor in determining the benefits you will receive from that sauna. By using pure ceramic heaters, we have brought together the best of both worlds to give you the highest quality infrared heat imaginable.

The sauna models you see on our website have been in production since 2000 - they are tried and true. We believe our success comes from our combination of exceptional quality construction and the highest quality far infrared heat specifically tuned to your body.

Your Far Infrared Sauna is hand crafted from grade "A" clear Western Canadian Hemlock, with individual panels hand selected and matched to a furniture-grade finish. The solid wood frame is built to last and is healthier for you than plywood frames, which emit toxic fumes when heated.

SA Sauna are also the only far infrared saunas using True Infrared™ technology. Our pure ceramic Pure Wave far infrared heaters produce far infrared heat that is tuned to your body... Only Pure Wave heaters produce True Infrared™.

Infrared, the healthy part of sunlight

Sunlight is part of a wide spectrum of frequencies, including ultraviolet and infrared rays. Visible sunlight is in the middle of this spectrum.

At a higher frequency, visible light changes to ultraviolet rays that can cause sunburn. At a lower frequency, however, sunlight changes to gentle infrared rays. It is these rays that allow the sun to warm you, even on a cold winter's day.

Varying in wavelength from 0.76µ to 1000µ, Infrared light is everywhere, even in the palm of your hand; as infrared heat is produced as a natural by-product of energy production within the body.

The Saunafin frequencies:

Within this wide spread of frequencies the 5.6 - 15 micron range is the most therapeutic to the human body. Split evenly between the 9.4µ pivot point of peak human output. Only Solid Ceramic Infrared Emitters like the ones used by Saunafin operate within the FAR Infrared range. Saunafin Infrared elements are designed to operate within this range to maximize the effectiveness of your therapy.

Infrared means deep heat:

Because infrared penetrates safely and comfortably up to 3 inches inside your body, even your deep tissues and organs are stimulated, meaning you perspire. Hard to reach impurities are eliminated through your skin using lower, comfortable temperatures.

Increases blood circulation and strengthens your cardiovascular system:

As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder pumping more blood, achieving the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. By widening your blood vessels and enriching your blood with oxygen you feel more energetic and your skin gets a beautiful, youthful glow.

"Regular use of a sauna may impact a similar stress on the cardiovascular system as running, and its regular use may be as effective [at] burning calories."

Infrared, ideal for detoxification

Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki, M.D. owns a clinic in Japan where she has done extensive research on the therapeutic uses of far infrared. In her book, The Science of Far-Infrared Therapies, she explains that one of the reasons FIR (Far-Infrared) has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses is the ability of FIR waves to remove toxins, which are often at the core of many health problems.
