Infared Saunas

Just curious.has anyone out there know or ever tried this sauna.I have been recerachung on this and am very interested in going to spa and doing one.Ive read it romoves tixins from our bodies more effectively than tghe traditional steam saunas?

Now before anyone replies with strange remarks and thinks this is quackery,please be gentle...LOL

I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, human liberty as the source of national action, the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas ~

My ex-husband, who has Lou Gehrig's disease, moved to New Mexico and swears by the Indian sweat lodges. I don't know if this is of any help.

Ive read up alot on detoxing the body and the indian sweal lodge do work,but these newer infared saunas work different on the way they make you sweat,im sure you proberly read up on the topic,but i find it fasinating the way the infared sauna works.


BTW,,,ive read everything on it ,just wanted someone who does it.Heres a little info on the topic
FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of energy within the 5 to 15 micron level. The infrared segment of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into 3 segments of wavelength measured in microns or micrometers (a microns = 1/1,000,000 of a meter); 0.076~1.5microns=near or close; 1.5~5.6middle or intermediate; 5.6~1,000=far or long wave infrared. The infrared segment of the electromagnetic spectrum occurs just below (infra) to red light as the next lowest energy band of light. This band of light is not visible to human eyes but can be seen by special cameras. We can, however, feel this type of light that we perceive as heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum. Our atmosphere has a window in it that allows infrared rays in the 7-14micron range to safely reach the earth' surface. When warmed, the earth radiates infrared rays in the 7-14micron band with its peak output at 10microns.

Why Is FIR important to the human body?

FIR has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect. The human body can absorb FIR because of its deep penetrating ability. When FIR penetrates through skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of the tissues causes bloods vessels and capillaries to dilate, promoting a better blood circulation, and the heat so produced helps to get rid of body toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating.
