A
far infrared sauna ( fir sauna ), just like a traditional sauna, is a small
room which is heated. The user, who sits inside the sauna room on a bench,
enjoys the benefits of this heat which warms the body and produces a good
sweat.
The
big difference between how a far infrared sauna and a traditional sauna work is
the heat source -- but that one difference makes all the difference. FIR heat
reaches deeper into the tissues than the heat from a traditional sauna, and
causes more toxins to be released with the sweat. See benefits of the
infrared sauna
A far infra red sauna uses a special type of heater – called an infrared radiant heater – to promote body heating and sweating instead of a regular electrical heater or heated stones.

FIR saunas can be
moved – they are portable
Because infrared
radiant heaters are smaller and heat the sauna user in different way than
an electric heater does, an fir sauna’s walls and ceiling don’t have to be as
insulated as in a traditional sauna. This means fir saunas are lighter in
construction…and therefore offer the advantage of portability!
In
fact, portable ir saunas (also known as modular sauna rooms) come disassembled
but snap together easily (see sauna installation ). They are the most
popular in home sauna or commercial fir sauna type sold.
Far
infrared saunas do come in other types, though. Some are designed for outside
use.And if you’re the do-it-yourself type, you can buy an infrared sauna kit
and build it yourself. You can also have an fir sauna custom-designed for you
and professionally built into your home.
There
are many sizes of pre-built infrared saunas available, including one- through
six-person saunas. The most popular sizes are the 2-person sauna and
4-person sauna models. The two person sauna is regularly used by couples for
company and single participants for roominess. The four person sauna is ideal
as a family sauna.
We
keep ours in the den, where we can look out through the sauna and den windows
into the garden. Better yet, our far infrared sauna is easy to take apart and
can come with us if we move!
Far Infrared heat is
something your own body gives off
Although
“far infrared heat” may sound a little intimidating, it’s really nothing new to
you -- your own palms give off this type of heat!
In
fact, far infrared heat is used in the incubators that keep premature babies
warm. It’s also the heat energy you feel coming off a large rock that’s been
heated by the sun when you sit down on it.
Many
people have far infrared lights in their bathrooms -- you know these as heat
lamps! All they really are, is a heat source that reproduces the warmth of the
sun’s far infrared rays.
So what is a far
infrared heater?
Far
infrared heaters
are
made of conductive materials – in the form of rods - that radiate far infrared
energy into the sauna cabinet when a current is applied to the heater.
Any
material that, when heated, will send off heat waves in the far infrared
wavelength will do – so far coils coated in ceramic, carbon and a material
called oncoloy have been developed.
These
heaters are recessed into the sauna room’s wall and covered with a protective
grate so you can’t accidentally touch one and burn yourself. Burns are mostly a
problem of traditional saunas, anyway, where the heat source stands
more-or-less exposed in the sauna room. There are few dangers associated with
fir saunas and they are preventable.
The effect of far
infrared heaters on you…
The
heaters in a traditional sauna heat up the air in the sauna room, which then
makes the surface of your skin hot. When your skin gets hot enough, your body
begins to work on cooling you down by producing sweat.
In
an infrared sauna, the heaters emit heat energy in the far infrared wavelength
range. (This has nothing to do with ultraviolet rays, some of which are known
to be damaging to the skin.) These infrared heat waves travel through the air
until they meet an object – you! – where they penetrate the tissues and warm
them.
Again,
infrared heat doesn’t heat the air much -- and explains why you can get
the benefits of the infrared sauna at a much lower sauna temperature
-- it heats objects (yes, I know – very cool!)…
Conventional
saunas are generally heated to 160-180 deg F (or higher) to get the desired
body heating and sweating effect. FIR saunas, though, will get you sweating at
a sauna room temperature that’s much lower -- 100-140 deg F! That’s a lot more
comfortable (and safer) for a lot people.
Why the air doesn’t
get as hot in an fir sauna
The
infrared heat coming off the heaters in an fir sauna doesn’t heat the air as
much as a conventional heater does.
Only
20% of the energy of the far infrared rays heats up the air they pass through
in the sauna room. The rest of the energy carried by these waves travels
through the air until they meet an object, then penetrate and heat the object.
In this case, the object is you, if you’re the one sitting in the sauna!
What this all means is that you get a great sweat in an
infrared sauna without needing to endure such a high temperature! Continue
from fir saunas to benefits of the infrared sauna.
