Benefits of Infrared Sauna
Most people recognize the health benefits of the regular sauna. In recent years a more advanced type of sauna has been hitting the market, the infrared sauna.
The infrared sauna is a bit different from a regular sauna. They run at much lower temperatures, from 100 – 130 degrees as apposed to 180 to 220. These lower temperatures are possible due to using infrared light, and are tolerated much better by many people than the higher heats of a conventional sauna.
Infrared saunas claim to heat body tissues three times as much as a regular sauna. It is the heater of the tissue that allows the release of toxins, which is a main health benefit of sauna.
Since the temperature of the sauna itself is much lower there are no hot surfaces within the sauna making it safer.
Infrared sauna kits are available at a much lower cost than a conventional sauna kit. Since they are a dry heat they can simply be plugged into a wall outlet. This makes it much easier to begin using your sauna, as you do not have to have a dedicated electrical source. The infrared does not heat up the materials of the sauna, allowing more heat to be absorbed by the body. This decreases in the amount of electricity needed ~ lowering your electric bills.
The infrared sauna heats up in as little as 5 to 10 minutes, compared to a conventional sauna’s heat up time of 30 to 90 minutes. This takes less electricity as well.
The infrared sauna uses no water, so there is no plumbing, possible mold infestation, no bacterial growth, and no mess. A simple outlet, and plug it in.
If you see the benefits of an infrared sauna, you will be pleased to hear the infrared sauna kits cost a fraction of a regular sauna kit, and it only takes basic skills to put them together and get them up and running. You can get a one person infrared sauna kit for around 1300 dollars as apposed to upwards of 2500 for a regular sauna.
