THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TRADITIONAL FINNISH SAUNA AND AN INFRARED HEAT THERAPY ROOM?

In an Infrared Heat Therapy Room, the ambient temperature is much lower than a sauna, humidity levels are at normal household humidity's, there is less heat-up time, and the heat is directed at the bather

Common Benefits of Sauna and Infrared:
  • Benefits associated with deep sweating:
    -Ridding the body of toxins
    -Cardiovascular workout
  • Relaxation and stress reduction 
  • Induces a deeper sleep
  • Soothing relief to sore and stiff muscles and joints.



Key points about Sauna:
  • Steam is an essential part of the sauna experience
  • Heater with a large amount of rocks for a unique climate 
  • "Sauna Feeling" where dry heat is combined with bursts of steam (climate changes from desert-dry to tropical)
  • Temperatures 140 to 190 degrees
  • Wood of the sauna absorbs the heat and emits it back softly to the sauna room for a real "sauna feeling"
  • Periodic climate changes: ritual of heating up and cooling down (from sauna to shower, lake, etc.) several times during the sauna session
  • Ages old sauna culture and tradition with scientifically proven benefits for the human body. The body absorbs the beneficial heat through the skin and the respiratory tract. 
  • Sauna culture includes the social side of sauna bathing---enjoying the sauna with friends, family and significant others. 
  • The sauna is the only bath in the world where the user controls both temperature and humidity. 

Key points about Infrared:
  • Ready to use very quickly (as little as five minutes, 10 minutes being typical)
  • Normal session from heat-up time to completed session is about 30 minutes
  • Air temperature of 105 to 140 degrees
  • High levels of perspiration at relatively low temperatures
  • Heating of body directly through Infrared heat; optimal arrangement of heat sources
  • Efficient in the depth of heat penetration
  • Excellent muscle "warmer-upper" for pre and post workout sessions, for loosening of stiff and sore muscles, etc.
  • Mobile and easy to assemble
