Visiting of an infrared sauna is a procedure that has been becoming increasingly popular in spas. Such kind of a sauna is totally different from the usual one, because special infrared elements are responsible for performance in this case. A human body is heated up by heat waves emitted - they affect not the air, but the objects and the body. Such waves are able to heat up tissues up to 4 centimetres deep. For comparison: in the Finnish bath the heating level will be no more than 5 mm.

In an infrared cabin, a person sweats a lot, while slags and toxins are actively eliminated from the body - up to 20% with liquid compared to 5% of losses in a conventional bathhouse. 

Infrared elements influence: how favourable is it?

There is considerable debate on how the infrared rays affect a human’s body. Serious research suggests that when used properly, they bring a lot of benefit to a person. But the result depends on several factors: the wavelength, the duration of the session and the individual characteristics of a person. 

Optimal wavelength from infrared heating elements

Scientists have calculated that the most effective and at the same time safe wavelength in an infrared sauna should correspond to the common range for humans. Since the body itself emits rays from 6 to 20 microns in length, the best option for a sauna is 7-14 microns. And most of the settings corresponds to this indicator. However, we should realize that correct settings of the emitters are not all the necessary conditions for the safe influence of the cabin on the human body.

Optimal session duration

The maximum duration of the session in an infrared sauna should not exceed 30 minutes. For people who have heart problems, blood vessels issues, as well as brain disorders, this time is reduced to 10 min maximum. In general, it is much better to break a sauna visit into several sessions for 5-10 minutes, then the health effects will be as beneficial as possible.

Individual features to be taken into account before visiting an infrared sauna

Such kind of a sauna is not recommended for people who feel discomfort from any thermal radiation. If health condition changes for the worse, some pains or reactions that look like allergies occur, or you feeling all floaty, you must leave sauna immediately. It can be simply a one-time reaction, but if it repeats, try not to make experiments anymore.

The benefits and therapeutic effects of infrared emitters

Visiting of an infrared cabin provides a number of advantages:

Strengthening blood vessels and improving blood circulation.

Improve sleep, positive effects on the nervous system. For example, an infrared sauna is very useful during severe stress periods, during depression.

Beneficial effect on joints’ state.

  1.  Fever with any disease.
