 Have you ever wanted a sauna for your home?
Do you find traditional wet saunas too hot to tolerate?
Have you have aches, pains or stiffness from overdoing activities or from a chronic condition?
Are you working hard on weight management?
Would you like to improve skin tone and reduce unwanted cellulite?
Do you need a cardiovascular workout without the physical impact of vigorous activity?
Do you want to eliminate some of the environmental toxins that have accumulated in your body?
Did you ever want simply to relax in warmth and solitude?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, the perfect solution might be a Soft Heat Home Sauna, an infrared sauna.
What’s an infrared sauna you might ask? And like many others, you may go the Internet and do a search for “infrared saunas” to learn more. We encourage you to do this because that is what we did before becoming a Soft Heat Home Sauna distributor.
When you do, you’ll find more than enough information on the proven health and appearance benefits and your head will spin with all the brands and the many claims made by various manufacturers.
Quite simply, a Soft Heat Home Sauna is a ready-to-assemble room that comes in various sizes, is usually made of cedar and has several installed heaters that convert electricity to infrared light.
HOW IT WORKS
It’s a cloudy day and the air is cool. Suddenly the sun comes out and you feel warm. You’re feeling infrared heat from the sunlight.
Light is energy and it travels in waves, like radio waves.
In an infrared sauna, emitters convert electricity into infrared light.
The characteristics of light waves are determined by their wavelength. Interestingly, our bodies naturally emit infrared light.
The best emitters produce infrared wavelengths as close as possible to the body’s natural wavelength. This is where infrared light is therapeutic.
At this wavelength, infrared waves can penetrate body tissue to a depth of up to 1.5”, harmlessly.
When infrared penetrates the body, it causes the water molecules in the underlying soft tissue to vibrate vigorously, generating heat
So, infrared heats from the inside out, not from the outside in, and causes healthy, profuse sweating.
Traditional heat therapy, hot air, steam and hot water, works by transferring heat through the skin to the underlying tissue. Only a small amount of energy gets there.
Further, heat transfer depends on a temperature differential. To get sufficient heat into body tissue requires a high air or water temperature (up to 200F), to the point of extreme discomfort.
By contrast, because infrared radiation heats the soft tissue directly, not the air in the sauna room, the ambient temperature in an infrared sauna is very pleasant, about 120F to 140F (50C to 60C).
INFRARED SAUNAS vs. TRADITIONAL BUILT-IN SAUNAS
Infrared saunas are better than the traditional saunas you are used to:
They use infrared radiant emitters.
They are more effective than hot air, hot water or steam because infrared heat penetrates at least 1.5” into the body.
As we have seen, they operate at a comfortable ambient temperature.
They are significantly more comfortable, lower ambient temperature, 120-140F vs. 180-210F.
Ready to assemble and portable, not built-in; take it with you if you move.
You never get your money out from a built-in sauna.
Just plug it in like an appliance, you don’t need a plumber or an electrician.
Quick 10-minute warm up for spontaneity.
Low operating cost, $3-6 per month for daily use.
