How Far Infrared Radiant Heat Works

Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat that we use in the sauna you will purchase from pure-infrared-saunas.com is a completely safe form of naturally occurring energy which heats objects through a process called direct light conversion. Direct light conversion warms only the object and does not raise the temperature of the surrounding free air.

This type of energy penetrates 2-3 inches deep into the body which helps to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue. A bather in an infrared sauna absorbs the heat but the surrounding air does not. Do not confuse far infrared radiant (FIR) heat with ultraviolate (UV) radiation. Far infrared radiant heat does not damage the skin or make it burn; it is a narrow band of energy within the 5-15 micron level.

FIR (Far Infrared Radiant) heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation. With this deep radiant heat your body will sweat more then in a conventional outdoor steam sauna because the heat goes deep into the fat tissues, helping you experience a cleansing of toxins and bacteria while you melt away those calories! The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all of this energy is beneficial. Although life needs energy from the sun, too much sunlight damages the skin.
