How does Far Infrared work?
Far Infrared is a section of the natural band of light that is not visible to the human eye, but can be felt as heat. Unlike the high heat produced in saunas, far infrared heat is able to penetrate the body to a depth of 1.5-2 inches. This stimulates the body’s cellular detoxification process more effectively than a traditional sauna. The body, incapable of metabolizing and excreting all toxins it is exposed to, oftentimes stores toxins in fat to protect the body (lipophillic toxins). Our body’s tissues normally produce infrared energy, which is used by the body for a number of healing processes. By delivering penetrating warmth to the body, the far infrared sauna increases the body’s own infrared energy levels, encouraging a slight rise in body temperature that boosts natural detoxification systems. The Thermal Life® sauna duplicates these healthy far infrared frequencies. The tissues selectively absorb these rays as the water in the cells reacts in a process called “resonant absorption”. This resonant absorption occurs when the frequency of the far infrared matches the frequency of the water in the cell causing toxins to be dropped off into the blood stream and excreted in sweat, feces and urine.
What is the benefit of sweating?
When you sweat, your arteries dilate, allowing the blood to flow more easily, lowering your blood pressure. Your muscles relax and your immune system is strengthened as your white blood cell production increases. Sweating promotes detoxification. We are all exposed to massive amounts of toxins each day, from the air we breathe to the food we eat. We even absorb toxins through the beauty and skincare products that we use on our skin, hair, and nails.. Many of these toxins cannot be properly taken care of by our body, and so they build up in and interrupt our metabolic and hormonal processes. As the heat from the Infrared energy causes your pores to open up, the sweat releases toxins and cleanses the body. You’ll also torch calories while you sweat in our sauna! Sweating in the FIR Sauna creates a huge calorie burn. Arthur Guyton’s textbook says that producing 1 gram of sweat burns 568 calories. Since the FIR Sauna can cause your body to produce 2 to 3 times the amount of sweat as other saunas, spending 15 minutes in the sauna can burn off 600 calories which is the equivalent of running 4-6 miles or doing a 45 minute workout.
What effect does the Far Infrared Sauna have on the aging process?
Since most Americans sit too much, eat too much and do not exercise enough, they are prone to developing chronic disease and aging prematurely. The FIR Sauna can reverse the aging process as it increases your metabolic rate and enhances beauty.
Burn Calories, Release Toxins and Boost Energy
It’s the perfect combination of dramatic calorie burn and gentle, soothing detox in the FIR Sauna. Unlike the typical sauna, FIR Saunas use a calming, dry-heat to induce a deep cleansing sweat. You’ll find it easy to breathe and relax while the radiant waves of light penetrate into your skin to bring renewed balance to your body and soul.

Testimonials
Mark Jacob, a 54-year old ultra-marathon champion
I’ve found that the sauna helps enormously with healing and regeneration. Finishing a 100 mile race in 28 hours nonstop results in aches and pains from head to toe. Taking a sauna right after reduces the swelling and the pain in my muscles and joints. It loosens me up and speeds the healing so I can go right back to training.
