Why We Love It
You’re most likely familiar with a traditional sauna: the wooden box, the rocks, the heat and the humidity opens your pores and causes your body to try to cool itself by sweating profusely. It’s relaxing. It’s detoxifying. It downright feels great.
But the main reason we love cutting-edge infrared saunas is because they don’t bother heating up the air in a sauna. Instead, infrared saunas use infrared lamps to warm your body straight on in a process called electromagnetic radiation.
It’s a unique concept, but essentially the infrared panels heat up your body at a faster rate than they heat up the air, so you get all of the sweating without all of the heat.
One practical plus (from an energy and cost standpoint) is that the infrared saunas can work at a lower temperature than traditional saunas and some users claim the heat penetrates deeper into their body.
Testimonial
I was a big fan of traditional saunas, but over time I became too uncomfortable to enjoy the full benefits. Infrared saunas give you the best of both worlds. All the relief, none of the uncomfortable, sweaty room.
