Infrared Heat
& Infrared Therapy
5 Years ago we used to get calls
from people researching a sauna to buy and they would ask, "I'm interested
in a sauna. What is this "infrared stuff". Now, more and more
people like yourself have heard about the health benefits people feel and
see from regular use of their infrared sauna. We hear it every week from
our customers and we know were doing something right when our customer
call us to tell us how much better they are feeling or the changes they
have seen.
Why is an SA Sauna so
effective?
-
When you are sitting in a traditional sauna, you
are sitting in a hot room; 80-100 degrees centergrade. In
your SA Sauna Far Infrared Sauna only about 20% of the heat
goes to heat the air and the other 80% directly heats your body. The
warming effect on your body stimulates your cardiovascular system, your
immune system and your lymphatic system. Your bodies response to that is
to sweat.
When you first get into your sauna you will start to
perspire right away because of the room temperature. After about 10-15
minutes you will start sweating profusely as your body responds to the
far infrared heat. You will actually sweat more in an infrared sauna
than in a traditional rock sauna. Studies show that sweat from a
traditional sauna contains about 3% toxins where sweat from your far
infrared sauna contains about 17% toxins. The detoxifying and deep
penetrating heat from an SA Sauna makes them very, very effective.

Many infrared sauna
manufacturers make grand claims about the health benefits
of infrared saunas in general and in relation to traditional saunas.
We live in the information age. We encourage all
our customers to do as much research as they can before you buy a
sauna.
If
you are buying a sauna because you
enjoy the experience,
you will be pleased with your selection - whether it is infrared or
traditional. However, if your motivation is
health related
and you are trying to decide between infrared and traditional, you
should choose infrared sauna.
Try to find information from medical texts and
journals. We have put together some of this information for you.
Feel free to browse theses articles. Some refer to traditional
saunas and others talk about infrared.

Detoxify or Die

“A
sauna used to be thought of as a luxury. But studies now confirm
that diet and environmental chemicals cause 95% of cancers.
Furthermore, as
the first generation of man exposed to such an unprecedented
plethora of daily chemicals, we have learned that stored or
undexofied chemicals can mimic any disease.
‘Incurable’
chronic diseases that were thought to have no known cause often
disappear once toxic chemicals are gone. Since the far infrared
sauna is the safest, most efficacious and economical way of
depurating stored toxins, this makes it a household necessity.”

The Ultimate Detox
Dr Sandra Cabot & Margaret Jasinska ND |
“Saunas
and steam baths are very powerful ways to drive toxins out of your
body. Research has even shown that saunas can remove pesticides and
heavy metals from the body.
Some people
notice a chemical smell on their body when they have a sauna.
Unlike Finland,
where just about every home has a sauna, in this country you will
probably have to rely on gyms and health spas. Make sure your drink
plenty of water before and after having a sauna or steam bath,
because you will lose a lot of water in the process”.

Low Temperature Therapy:
Infrared therapy is low temperature
therapy. The scientific principles that are used to
calculate infrared emissions from a surface or body say that lower
temperatures produce higher quality far infrared heat. A far infrared
heater having a surface temperature of 60'C degrees like the SA
Sauna Infrared Pure
Wave Heaters will produce much higher quality far infrared
heat than a heater running at 100 degrees or, as some heaters
do, 120 degrees.
Warm your SA Sauna up for about 10-15
minutes then get in. Once in, turn the temperature all the way up. The
temperature will climb to about 55-60 degrees during your 30-45 minute
session. Because infrared therapy is low temperature therapy you will able
to stay in longer, sweat more and detox more.
.
Is the wellness cabin
temperature important?
The answer to this question is
Yes and No. In a far infrared sauna, the infrared heat warming your body
is the most important aspect of your sauna. You can sit in your sauna with
the door and roof vent open and you will still sweat and get the benefits
of the healing and relaxing far infrared heat. That being said, everyone
wants the cabin temperature in their sauna to be warm as it is more
comfortable to sit in. So the combination of excellent quality far
infrared heat and a sufficiently warm sauna cabin is the key to a quality
far infrared sauna.
As a sauna importer we have to find that
balance of a heater that produces excellent quality far infrared heat that
will penetrate and enough heat to warm the sauna so you are comfortable.
If the surface temperature of the heater is too low, the sauna won't get
warm enough. If the surface temperature of the heater is too high, the
quality of the infrared heat will be poor.
SA Saunas has achieved
this balance with our Pure Wave Far
infrared heaters. Our heaters produce exceptional quality far infrared
heat and do an excellent job of warming the sauna
cabin.
Why is placement of the heaters
important?
One of the keys to infrared therapy is warming your body
core. This is achieved by concentrating the infrared heat on your back and
directing the infrared heat to your front core. The heaters in
your SA Sauna are placed strategically to warm your body core and
raise your core body temperature.
The back wall heaters run the
full length of your back and are wide. The front heaters are place
such that they direct the heat to your front core. They are very effective
at heating your body core and helping your body
detox.
