Benefits of Infra red Saunas
Far Infrared Energy
Do you remember standing in the sun on a cold winters day? Despite the cold air temperature, you were probably still able to feel the warmth from the sun. This is because of Far Infra Red rays - a completely safe energy that raises the temperature in objects without heating the surrounding air.
For thousands of years, cultures around the world have recognised the therapeutic value of heating the body for better health, healing and greater vitality. The Mayans, Native Americans, the Inuit, and Europeans all developed their own versions of saunas and sweat lodges. Two thousand years ago the ancient Greek physician Paemendides said, "Give me a chance to create fever and I will cure any disease."
Using patented ceramic heating elements, and crafted in timber that doesn't out-gas, the SoftHeat Far Infra Red Sauna emits far infrared health rays in the range of 5.5 to 15 microns - the perfect level to achieve the optimum effect on the cells of the body. Radiant heat is efficient because it warms you, rather than the air surrounding you. The human body absorbs the majority of this heat causing perspiration as a well as a vast array of health benefits.
Conventional saunas must rely on direct contact of heat or hot air on the skin to produce its heating effects, thus, Far Infra Red Saunas are able to produce up to 3 times the sweat volume of a normal sauna at a much lower temperature. Traditional saunas operate at temperatures of 80 - 104 degrees Celsius. The SoftHeat Far Infra Red Sauna operates at a much cooler 18 - 60 degrees Celsius, causing vastly improved perspiration characteristics. Not only does the perspiration contain more toxins and less water, but more toxins will also be expelled through your kidneys, liver and even hair.
Some benefits that may come from far infra red saunas:

* Beneficial for eczema, psoriasis & acne sufferers
Toxin Removal
By far the most important health benefit of Far Infra Red Saunas is its efficiency in removing toxins from the body. This is achieved by a process called "resonate absorption" whereby the frequency of the Far Infra Red matches the frequency of the water in the cell, causing toxins to be released into the blood stream and excreted through sweat.
Studies have shown that the sweat of people using a conventional sauna was found to be 95-97 % water while the sweat of those using the Far Infra Red Saunas was 80-85% water with the 15-20% non-water component being cholesterol, fat soluble toxins, toxic heavy metals such as mercury & aluminium, sulphuric acid, sodium, ammonia and uric acid. This unusually high concentration of heavy metals & other fat-soluble toxins is not found in the sweat from normal exercise. Increased blood circulation caused by sweating stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built up toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of an accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals. This removal of toxins from the system can help assist the symptoms of conditions such as allergies, acne, chronic fatigue, frequent colds, muscle and joint pain, poor concentration, eczema and mood swings.
Relaxation Benefits
The most common side effect of a hectic modern lifestyle is the feeling of stress and exhaustion, often causing a variety of chronic conditions. Fortunately, the Soft Heat Far Infra Red Sauna's most immediate benefit is a feeling of extreme relaxation. It's impossible to overestimate the health benefits of a relaxed body and mind.
The Experience
Most far infra red sauna users enter the sauna without pre-heating and start to sweat after around 10 mins. As the sauna is a comfortable temperature, conversation, reading or listening to relaxing music is a pleasurable pastime. After the session you will feel relaxed, your skin will feel clean and smooth and you will feel ready to live life to it's full.
