How the Far Infrared Sauna (FIR) Works

The electromagnetic spectrum segment range between 5.6 - 1000 microns is called Far Infrared. Even on a cold day, the sun feels warm on the skin. This warmth you feel is FIR radiating waves. FIR is a completely safe form of natural light energy. It is not UV, which can burn and damage your skin.

FIR waves vibrate at the same frequency as all organic matter. These rays are a sympathetic energy to organic matter. FIR waves, in the 8-14 micron range, are emitted from our palms. These emissions play a role in the "laying on of hands" healing techniques, The FIR segment of sunlight is absolutely essential for all living things, including human beings.

The FIR sauna duplicates these healthy FIR frequencies.

Bodily tissues absorb these rays as the water in the cell reacts in a process called "resonant absorption". Resonant absorption occurs when the frequency of the far infrared matches the frequency of the water in the cells of our body.

Ordinary saunas heat the air to heat the body by sheer force, most of which bounces of the skin. FIR saunas use the beneficial radiant penetrating energy of natural light to heat the deepest organs and tissues to soften, dissolve and remove deposits of deadly crystallized toxins and acid wastes

Deep Detox

We live in a polluted world. There is a direct correlation between external pollution and the internal pollution of the human body. External toxicity of food, air and water always cause internal toxicity of blood, tissues and cellular fluids. These toxic conditions become the breeding grounds for disease and degeneration. Toxemia is the root cause of all disease. The only real way to cure any chronic disease or degenerative condition is to eliminate the root cause by ridding the body of toxins that pollute the blood and tissues, attract germs and weaken resistance and immunity.

The skin is our largest organ. Typical sweat produced under normal conditions contains 97% water and 3% toxins. Sweat produced from an FIR sauna is found to be 80-85% water and 15-20% toxins! These toxins contain metals (such as mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel, copper, sodium, aluminum), pesticide residues, petroleum-based toxins, chloride, fluoride, as well as fat. FIR heat causes these toxins to be released from cells. The toxic molecules will then reside transiently in the lymph fluid. Since sweat is manufactured from the lymph fluid, toxins present in the lymph fluid will exit the body through the sweat. The liver and kidneys are not required for this. The air in the FIR sauna does not get hot. Sweating often begins before the person feels very hot or uncomfortable.

For a more effective detoxification: a) increase the oxygen in your blood by regular deep breathing b) Alkalize your body by strictly limiting acid-forming foods and drinks (refined sugar/starch, soft drinks) and increasing alkaline forming foods like fresh fruit and vegetables and juices).

Drink plenty of water; ideally ionized, alkaline microwater. As this water has small clusters, it will hydrate your body quickly and effectively, and aid the detox process.

Sang Whang in his book "Reverse Aging", says that our bodies require Oxygen in two forms, as O2 from that air and as OH- ions from alkaline water.

Lose Weight

FIR Sauna is one of the most effective and easy ways for weight loss.

Burn Calories with Passive Exercise

You can burn 600 or more calories in a single 30 minute session. This passive exercise effect was researched by NASA and Far-Infrared was determined to be an ideal way to maintain astronauts' cardiovascular fitness during long space flights.

Dissolve Fat

Fat becomes water-soluble at a 100 F° and can dissolve and enter the bloodstream to be removed from the body by sweat. Sweat therapy using saunas has been extensively researched and shown to be effective at lowering fat soluble chemicals.

Cardiovascular Health

While you relax in your FIR Sauna, your body is hard at work. A 20-30 minute session creates approximately the same amount of perspiration as a six-mile run. Your heart works harder to boost circulation, thus improving your cardiovascular system. Increased circulation has been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions, and cuts. Wounds heal faster, which reduces scarring. Blood vessels dilate to help heal muscles and soft tissue while delivering oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles. This also helps soothe muscles after a strenuous work out. Lactic acid is removed.

Relaxing and Energizing

FIR sauna is deeply relaxing and energizing which alone has a profound effect on your health.

Stress, pessimism, and negative emotions have been shown to be very destructive to health and longevity. You should also purify your thoughts and detoxify your emotions to really benefit from any physical cleansing therapies
