Infrared Sauna Cabins
The positive effects of Infrared heat therapy |
| |
| Infrared: The positive effects of heat treatment in the healing of various ailments have long been recognised. Infrared radiation consists of electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from 0.78-100um. When infrared rays hit the surface of any object the energy contained in the rays is released in the form of heat. The shorter the wavelength the greater the energy of the radiation. This is why a clear distinction is made between three grades of IR waves A, B & C. |
 |
| |
A = Near Infrared
B = Intermediate Infrared
C = Far Infrared |
| |
| Medical therapy programs use measured applications of "A" spectrum IR Waves. These waves deliver high energy and have a deep penetration effect. For this reason they require professional medical supervision. Infrared cabins designed for home use, like the Well-Vita, use low energy "C" Spectrum IR waves. |
| |
| This is a completely safe form of radiation. Infrared C waves are absorbed in the upper skin layer, this energy is then transported into deeper skin layers and muscles, delivering an effect of fast and deep penetrating heat. |

| Key Points about Traditional Sauna: |
Steam is an essential part of the sauna experience and traditional saunas use a heater containing rocks to create the climate.
Traditional saunas allow the bather to control the temperature and humidity to suit. Dry heat is combined with bursts of steam thus changing the climate from desert-dry to tropical.
The wood of the sauna absorbs the heat and emits it back softly to the cabin for a real "sauna feeling".
As a direct result of the "sauna experience" (the process of heating up and cooling down - from sauna to shower), the body produces natural chemicals which can result in a variety of benefits including: reduced mental stress, increased resistance to illness, relief from cold symptoms/sinus problems, improved sleep. |

| Key Points about Infrared Sauna: |
Since infrared heat is directed at the body, instead of heating the cabin itself, it is ready to use very quickly (approx. 10-15 mins) - Normal session from heat up time to completed session is about 30 mins.
Infrared bathing allows high levels of perspiration at relatively low temperatures. This induces a deep sweat for cleansing and detoxifying the body.
Sport: Infrared is excellent for warming up muscles and reducing risk of injury prior to carrying out physical/sporting activities and for loosening sore/stiff muscles post workout.
Pick-me-up or wind-down: Soothing heat in low ambient air temperatures is a great way to start or end a day. Take a short session of warm heat prior to your morning shower as a quick pick-me-up. Alternatively use the infrared heat to soothe tense muscles, reduce stress and promote deeper sleep as an end-of-day wind-down. |
