Home Infrared Saunas Detoxify and Rejuvenate Your Body

Home infrared saunas provide the heat and health benefits of natural sunlight without the harmful effects of UV radiation. Infra-red light therapy is used to soothe sore muscles and warm newborns in maternity wards. The heat from a far infrared portable sauna provides deep skin penetration and is said to detoxify the body, rejuvenate the skin and provide relief for a variety of respiratory ailments.

Far infrared home saunas use concave ceramic emitters that transfer the heat directly to the human body. Ceramic emitters have been in use for decades and most of the medical research that has gone into studying the effects of far infra-red light has been based on these efficient heat lamps. Whether built into the wall of a sauna room or used in a portable, horizontal sauna, users never have to worry about getting burned due to the absence of ultraviolet radiation which causes the harmful burns caused by sun bathing.

A small, pre-built infrared sauna room doesn’t require much space and is quite affordable. Multiple heating elements inside the wall provide even heat distribution. Most portable home saunas use far infra-red light as the heat source. They operate at a safe, comfortable temperature of 150° F and are very economical in terms of energy usage. The radiant heat is not wasted on heating up the air in the sauna but instead penetrates the skin to promote sweating directly.



The portability and small footprint of a horizontal infrared unit makes this type of sauna ideal for apartment dwellers or condo owners who want to experience the health benefits of saunas in the convenience of their homes. Home owners interested in building a traditional hot rock sauna can now enjoy the dual health benefits of far infra-red light and steam saunas with a design that includes both types of heaters. You can choose from a variety of pre-built and precut sauna kits that include plans on how to build a sauna, infrared, wood-burning and electric heaters for a customized installation that will fit just about any available space and compliment any decor.
