The infared sauna has the basic idea of a regular sauna; however, all heat is produced by far infared lights inside. So unlike regualr saunas, this is completely dry and does not get humid inside, but still reaches a depth of 1 1/2 " into your body. By going for sessions that are approx 35 min, there are plenty of benefits.

           Because the sauna can reach up to 65 degrees celcius, the 2.6 million sweat glands all over your body create a giant detox for your body allowing the toxins to leave through your perspiration.

           The following concerns are linked to a toxicity of some type in your body: allergies, acne, anxiety, burning skin, joint pain, chronic fatiugue, depression, eczema, frequent colds, insomnia, memory loss, mood swings, muscle pain, cancer, poor concentration, fibromyalgia, and headaches.

• Stress and Pain Relief. The sauna has the ability to relieve tension and pain in your body. Many massage therapists are now using the infared sauna to loosen up their clients before a massage.
