Far Infrared Sauna - an Outline of Benefits

S Dey
Far infrared saunas (FIR sauna) are in a class of their own when it comes to benefits, compared to the conventional steam sauna. These benefits can be classified into the following.
  1. Health benefits
    1. Detoxification: Far infrared sauna, when regularly used, removes the toxic material of the human body through sweat and urine. It improves the human metabolism.
    2. Improved blood quality: The blood quality improves due to removal of toxins. The average oxygen level of blood improves over the long term.
    3. Skin improvements: The skin is deep-cleansed. Dust and dirt gets removed from deeper inside your skin.
    4. Joint pain removal: The far infrared sauna, being a dry sauna in nature, helps one to get rid of joint pain.
    5. Soft heating effects: The soft heating effect of the FIR sauna provides you a long term benefit on your overall health, including your cardio-vascular system (heart and blood system). As a result you enjoy a longer and healthier life.
  2. Usage advantages
    1. Space: It occupies lesser space than its conventional steam counterpart.
    2. Instant heating: Unlike the conventional steam sauna, one does not need to heat and produce steam before using the sauna. The infrared rays produce instant heating.
  3. Manageability and cost
    1. Easy to install: The installation hazard of a conventional sauna is much higher than the ready-to-install sauna that you get if you go for a FIR sauna.
    2. Cheaper to install and run: The ready-to-run far infrared sauna is much cheaper to install once you buy it. And since the heating is instant and you can control the temperature (remember, you can produce all the heat you need even in room temperature if you want to), you save almost all the running cost with a FIR sauna that you would incur using a conventional steam sauna.

    It also improves general circulation. The heat of a sauna (or steam bath) boosts the temperature of the surface of your body, causing blood vessels to dilate and circulation in the skin to increase. As resistance to blood flow through the veins and capillaries drops, blood pressure goes down. In response, heart beat increases to keep blood pressure normal. The heat can also ease muscle stiffness , and you may notice an increase in energy, a decrease in stress, and improved sleep.
