Q: What is the optimum Far infrared frequency for an Far infrared sauna?
A: The result of OUR SAUNAS area allows for the lowest surface temperature of any other Far infrared heater. This means the best performance well within this vital wave range of 7 to 14 microns with a good portion of wavelengths at 9.4--which is the frequency at which a water molecule resonates or vibrates. This vibration causes a release of cellular toxins such as mercury, aluminum, cholesterol and other toxic gases.

Q: I am chemically sensitive. Are some sauna woods more hypoallergenic than
other woods?

Q: Why do you sweat up to 3 times more in a Infrared Sauna when it is less than half the temperature of a traditional sauna or steam room?
A: Because Infrared is a radiant source of heat, it warms the body directly rather than having to warm the air, much like the suns warmth on a cold winters day. There is simply no need for very hot air. Infrared heat stimulates the molecules in our body and increases their vibration causing a natural friction warming effect which penetrates deeply into our tissues spreading the warmth deep in to the body. This process is sometimes called resonant absorption. The result is that a much greater VOLUME of our body is warmed, so our body reacts by working much harder to maintain its optimum temperature through increased sweat production.

Q: How often can I use an Infrared Sauna?
A: As with any form of exercise it is advisable to build up a tolerance over time. Three sessions a week of about 20 minutes is initially recommended. Many people once conditioned can safely enjoy daily sessions of 30-40 minutes.
