Infrared Saunas vs. Conventional Saunas

Why Choose Infrared Saunas?

All life needs energy, and the sun is the primary source of this energy. Infrared rays are just one part of the rays that make up the suns spectrum; they are the rays that actually warm your body when you are out in the sun.
Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation. FIR heat actually penetrates and warms the body, so the heat energy is not lost trying to warm the air. FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation, but a narrow band of energy within the 5.6 to 15 micron level.
This type of energy travels 1½ - 2” deep into the body, increasing circulation and nourishing damaged tissue. The FIR heat emitted by far-Infrared energy treatment devices, such as, the GHS is a naturally occurring energy that heats objects by direct light conversion (DLC).This natural heat increases body temperature, which in turn stimulates and improves the immune system.
The FIR heat emitted in the GHS may induce two to three times the sweat volume of conventional saunas, and they operate at a much cooler air temperature range. Many individuals who cannot tolerate a conventional sauna, steam room or sweat lodge will find GHS pleasant.
The lower heat range is also safer for those with cardiovascular risk factors or fragile health. The Far-Infrared energy device we recommend uses the same heat therapy technology used in sports medicine to treat athletic injuries.
Hospitals use FIR heat to keep newborn infants warm and health professionals have used red infrared heat lamps for decades to treat muscle and joint problems.

In a GHS infrared sauna, far-infrared heat is used to directly penetrate the body’s tissues to a depth of over 1½ inches,right into the muscle.

It's energy output is tuned to correspond so closely to the body’s own radiant energy that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin.

A conventional sauna (steam sauna) must rely only on indirect means of heat; First heating the air, which then comes indirect contact with the skin to produce its healing effects on us.

This effect can mean sitting in a room temperature of over 200°. With far- infrared heat, and our unique combination of Ceramic and Carbon Panels, less than 20% of the far-infrared energy heats the air, keeping temperatures at a more comfortable 65°-140°.

This leaves over 80% of the energy to be directly converted to heat within our bodies.

Far-Infrared Sauna can warm its user(s) to a much greater depth much more efficiently than a conventional sauna.
