While saunas in general have offered both physical and emotional benefits for thousands of years, the infrared sauna is a much more recent development. As well as providing many of the same benefits, infrared saunas or FIR saunas are also more convenient, less costly, less expensive, and less space consuming. What's more, the deeper penetration and lower temperatures utilised by the FIR sauna also mean that many of the health benefits are even further exaggerated than with a traditional style of sauna.
1 - Convenience
FIR saunas use far infrared heat in order to offer a similar experience to a convection or traditional sauna. While a traditional sauna needs to heat the environment in order for the user to gain the benefit, the FIR sauna is able to directly heat the user. This offers several key advantages. There's no need for an air tight environment which also means that the size and initial cost of the sauna is reduced. Lower operating temperatures also mean greater comfort while offering greater penetration.
2 - Size
A FIR sauna does not need to heat the environment around you and relies instead on penetrative infrared rays that are directed at the body. This method of heating means that a FIR sauna can be implemented in a much smaller environment (realistically, it can be done in any room with no need for a separate sauna room) and the smaller working parts mean that the overall size is greatly reduced.
3 - Cost
A traditional sauna will usually be housed in a brick building or brick room while a FIR sauna can be implemented easily within a wooden, free standing design. This reduces the initial outlay that will be required to have your own home sauna. Considerably lower operating temperatures and greater penetration also means that energy costs will be massively reduced while using the sauna. You don't even need to heat the sauna in preparation for use.
4 - Design
FIR home saunas come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and models. There's no need for brick buildings or permanent constructions to house the sauna and they can be housed in wooden, beautifully designed free standing sauna "rooms". Wherever you want to add a sauna, an infrared sauna will fit the decor and the style of your home.
5 - Lower Temperatures
The lower temperatures used by a FIR sauna not only means less energy usage it also means that users can withstand the environment and the temperature for much longer when compared to a steam sauna. Rather than being limited to an uncomfortable and irritable ten to fifteen minutes, most individuals can easily and reasonably manage a thirty minute session. When you consider that the FIR sauna still manages to penetrate much deeper into muscles and tissue this is often a surprising benefit of infrared saunas.
6 - Greater Penetration
Infrared rays are able to be directed at the body and are penetrative in nature. They will penetrate deeply into the body, passing through the skin and deep into tissue and muscle without being uncomfortable or dangerous in any way. Less heat is exhausted throughout this process so that even when the infrared rays have penetrated they are hotter than your body would experience with a traditional sauna. This means greater benefit for many of the uses of a FIR sauna including muscle relaxation, detoxification, and cardiovascular health.
