Far Infrared Sauna

The far infrared sauna uses light to create heat. Whereas a traditional sauna uses heat to warm the air, which then warms the body, an infrared sauna heats the body directly without warming the air. In general, saunas cause reactions similar to those brought on by moderate exercises, such as sweating and an increase in heart rate. An infrared sauna produces these results at lower temperatures than a regular sauna, which makes it an option for people who can't tolerate the heat of a conventional sauna.

The internal heat promotes vasodilation and stimulates the sweat glands, allowing for some toxins to be transported out of the body via the sweat. Other benefits can be the reduction of joint stiffness due to better circulation and the detoxification of heavy metals and environmental chemicals.
