Shea Essence Day Spa - Far Infrared Sauna Therapy

What is Far Infrared Therapy?

Infrared light is part of the Sun’s invisible spectrum of light that has the ability to penetrate the

human tissue. Infrared heat therapy uses these far infrared light characteristics to heat the body

directly rather than just the air. The experience of a far infrared sauna is similar to sunbathing,

which gives you the radiant heat that is all your own. The far infrared heat penetrates your skin,

giving you that wonderful natural warmth. Unlike sunbathing, Infrared heat therapy is completely

healthy and safe. You can relax in a far infrared sauna and it will never cause your skin to burn.

Far infrared saunas increase the body’s core Temperature, resulting in a much deeper, more

detoxifying sweat from the cellular level of the skin where many toxins are stored. Conventional

hot rock/steam heat saunas heat the air with steam, which can often be unbearably hot and will

cause you to only sweat at the surface of the tissue. Steam also makes the air difficult to breath. On

the contrary, far infrared heat is dry, soothing and extremely comfortable and relaxing.

Why Doctors Recommend Far Infrared Therapy

Far infrared waves provide concentrated radiant energy, similar to that from the sun. When any tissue in the

body is exposed to far infrared waves, whether radiated by sunlight,or refl ected by specially coated fabrics or

panels, there is a rapid increase in warmth which can be shown by thermography. This heat plus the

activation of several other response mechanisms stimulates the healing processes.

For example, far infrared waves:

1. Increase blood fl ow by promoting dilation (expansion) of the micro-circulatory system of capillaries.

2. Reduce muscle spasms as muscle fi bers are heated.

3. Remove toxins from the site receiving far infrared waves.

4. Assist in the reduction of swelling and infl ammation by improving lymph fl ow.

5. Reduce soreness through direct action on both free nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves.

Safety of Far Infrared Therapy

You can be exposed to far infrared heat for hours and it will never cause your skin to burn. Far infrared heat

is completely healthy and safe for all living things. In fact, far infrared heat is so safe it is used in hospitals to

warm newborn infants.
