What is Far-infrared?

Infrared light is part of the Sun's invisible spectrum of light that has the ability to penetrate the human tissue.

Infrared heat therapy uses far infrared light characteristics to heat the body directly rather than just the air. The experience is similar to sunbathing, which gives you the radiant heat that is all your own. Unlike sunbathing, far infrared heat therapy is completely healthy and safe. You can relax in a far infrared sauna for hours and it will never cause your skin to burn.

Conventional saunas heat the air with steam which can be unbearably hot. This type of sauna causes the body to sweat at the surface of the tissue only as well as making it difficult to breath. A far infrared sauna uses soothing dry far infrared heat that is well ventilated and extremely comfortable and relaxing.
