Far infrared is a radiant source of heat. This means it warms our body directly rather than having to warm the air first, much like the sun warming our body on a cold winters day. This is a major difference between an infrared sauna and a traditional sauna. There is no need for very hot air that can cause respiratory problems and dizziness. Infrared only expends 20% of its energy on heating the air, 80% directly warms the body to a depth of 4.5cm or 1.5 inches. This deep penetration of warming radiant heat produces up to 3 times more sweat and stimulates the deeper tissues and organs to release stored fat and toxins. The beneficial resonant absorption and the low temperature allow for easier removal of toxins and fat within the sweat, leaving the user feeling super cleansed and energized.
