Far-infrared saunas offer the excellent, completely safe solution. They operate at far lower temperatures, usually in the range of 110 to 130F, yet still offer all of the benefits of a traditional sauna. An infrared sauna heats the body with radiant heat, creating deep tissue warming and profuse sweating.

Few things can immediately sooth our achy muscles and relax our busy minds like a sauna. Health professionals worldwide recognize the benefits of saunas to promote blood circulation; to relief aches, pains, and general stiffness; to eliminate body toxins by promoting perspiration; and even to help burn some unwanted calories.

This makes them inaccessible for the elderly or those with asthma or other breathing or cardiovascular problems who could otherwise benefit the most from sauna heat therapy.
