Heater

An infrared sauna can actually occur in any area of space that is near an infrared heater. This type of bathroom heat is often, but not always, created by an infrared heater. Traditional saunas are expensive to operate Electrical costs are a direct reflection of heater size and operating time. Because these saunas have no temperature control at all, they must under power the heaters to prevent any possible chance of overheating. How ever with advancements in the technology behind today's portable sauna, and sauna heater systems we are now able to enjoy the same wonderful heat, but without the steam. Both an electric Sauna heater and a ceramic sauna heater are capable of supplying beautiful dry heat, without the requirement of water. Unlike traditional saunas that use wood or electric stoves to heat them, this new sauna uses infrared heaters. In traditional saunas the heater heats the air of the sauna but infrared heaters only heat the people and object not the air.

Because the air is not heated, infrared heaters can be used anywhere even outdoors and still have a heating effect on human bodies. The radiation penetrates the body and heats through a process called conversion, instead of heating the air around you. This deep penetration causes a heating effect deep in your muscles and organs. This heating effect creates a deeper sweat that helps the body rid itself of harmful toxins, increases blood flow, and accelerates the immune system. Saunas induce an "artificial fever" by heating up the body but without the pains of an illness. However, heating up an infrared only provides for that "toasty" feeling. Because these saunas have no temperature control at all, they must under power the heaters to prevent any possible chance of overheating. This infrared technology actually heats up objects rather than heating the air much like the sun light can feel warm on your skin even if the air temperature is cool.

Toxins

The body eliminates most toxins naturally by sweating. Giving you positive help with calorie loss, relieves bad backs, muscle and joint problems, our infrared saunas help fight infections, help to decrease high blood pressure and remove toxins from your body. In this chemical based society we live in, however, our bodies are being saturated daily with chemicals, heavy metals and toxins through our air, food and water. Our skin is the largest organ of the body and is a major way to expel heavy metals and toxins that are trapped in our flesh and fat cells. 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 apparently a very good means for elimination.
