Sauna FAQs
What’s the Difference Between Infrared Saunas and Traditional Saunas?
Infrared heat is very gentle. The experience is similar to lying in the sun on a warm day. Unlike traditional saunas, (hot rock or steam) which operate at well in excess of 200°F. Infrared heat, has the benefit of being effective at a more comfortable operating temperature of 100°-150°F.
The temperatures reached in traditional saunas are extremely high and it is recommended that the session be no longer that 15 minutes.
How do Infrared Saunas help Athletes?
Infrared heat can significantly benefit the sore, damaged, and tired muscles of an athlete. The heat penetrates the muscles and tissues, increasing blood circulation, and assist muscle repair. Infrared heat will also help reduce lactic acids, allowing tight and worn-out muscles to relax.
It can also help alleviate arthritis, asthma, physical and mental fatigue, and help the body flush out toxins.
Is the Infrared Sauna safe for everyone?
The Infrared Sauna is very safe. Our sauna uses heating technology that does not include any harmful UV rays. Our sauna has the lowest (EMF) electric and magnetic fields, and (ELF) extremely low frequency available.
There are cases where we advise against using the sauna. Since the infrared sauna promotes the body’s detoxification properties, it cannot be used during pregnancy or with people undergoing chemotherapy.
Detoxification during pregnancy or for those undergoing chemotherapy is not advised.
Anyone in frail condition should start slowly with only 15 minutes, or less, spent in the sauna.
If you are under the care of a physician for a serious medical condition, you should consult with your doctor before using the sauna.
Can the Elderly Use Infrared Saunas?
The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function.
The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core body temperature.
The elderly should not use for more than 15 minutes at a time and operate at a lower temperature.
How often can I use the infrared sauna?
Infrared Saunas are safe to use every day. On average, people partake in 15-30 minute sessions, 1-4 times a week.
Most people begin to break a sweat after 15 minutes.
The frequency and length of your sessions should depend on your wellness goals.
