FAR INFRARED (FIR) SAUNA
Working Principle
Far infrared sauna is an integrated, multi-functional deluxe facility for medicare and recreation, that incorporates the advantages of both sunlight bath and sauna. The far infrared ray is its major energy. The wavelenght of far infrared ray is 5.6-15um which is close to the body's own radial that can be absorbed easily. The far infrared ray can penetrate 40 mm deep into human skin, so the recipient could receive an infrared massage, making cell tissues resonant, accelerate blood circulation and eliminate the impurities, resulting in both bio-thermal effect and physical effect. Thus, health will be improved.
Advantages of using FIR Sauna
1. Expels Toxins (Detoxification). Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel and mercury) accumulate in the body during modern daily life. Infrared heat therapy stimulates the sweat glands to cleanse and detoxify skin.
2. Reduces Stress Infrared heat therapy loosens muscles and relaxes the body prior to a massage. Many massage therapists use infrared heat to provide much more thorough and effective treatment.
3. Benefits your Skin Infrared heat improves circulation, expels chemicals and removes dead cells from surface of the skin. All of these benefits lead to a more firm, softer complexion, also reducing wrinkles associated with aging.
4. Controls Weight Perspiring is part of complex thermoregulatory process of body that increases the cardiac output and metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes soluble in water at 42C, when body sweats out fats and toxins.
5. Relieves Pain Infrared heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more oxigen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process. Many people use FIR heat as a successful treatement for arthritis, muscle spasms and rheumatism.
6. Provides the same effect as exercise A session of 20 - 30 minutes gives the heart a similar workout as a 6 mile run. Infrared saunas are perfect for those who do not have time for regular exercise or suffer from injuries that inhibit for rigorous activity.
7. Improves immune sistem During a fever the body heats up to eliminate viruses and attack foreign agents. Subsequently, the body wards off invading organisms much more easly because the immune system is activated consistently by the "artificial fever". Recent studies also show that colds and flu-like illnesses are reduced dramatically if treated in the early stages with FIR heat therapy.
