The Convenience and Health Benefits of Far Infrared Portable Saunas

Far infrared portable saunas are the newest kid on the block when it comes to home saunas. The beneficial use of infra-red rays is not new. Hospital maternity wards have used the soothing heat to warm newborns. Physical therapists use the technology to loosen tight muscles and alleviate pain prior to therapy. A far infra-red heat sauna makes use of this technology that some say is superior to traditional saunas.

The Technology Explained

Infrared home saunas use the portion of the sun’s spectrum that is totally safe for the human body. Due to the rays’ longer wavelength (hence “far” infrared), they are invisible to the human eye. Infra-red heating elements used in portable models heat the body directly instead of the surrounding air.

Numerous Health Benefits

The health benefits of home saunas and portable saunas using far infrared heat are well documented. Regular exposure to infra-red rays is said to detoxify the body, increase blood circulation and stimulate the immune system. Other benefits include stress reduction, relaxation and help in alleviating numerous skin problems such as acne and eczema.



Convenience in a Small Package

A portable home sauna with infra-red heating elements built right into the surrounding walls comes in a small package. A 4’ x 4’ far infrared sauna sets up in less than an hour and can be taken with you when you move. You won’t need a plumber, carpenter or electrician to get it set up!

Popular Designs

Portable models using infrared technology come in a variety of shapes to suit your lifestyle. In addition to the above mentioned 2-person sauna cabin there are full-sized home saunas using infra-red heaters. Have a look at this popular horizontal far infra-red sauna that looks like a tanning bed for the ultimate in portability.
