An infrared sauna session causes a brief 1-3 degree increase in body temperature. Fever is the body's defense against bacteria, microbes and consequent infection.

Is it Safe?
Infrared heat, also called radiant heat is a form of energy that heats objects directly, without heating the air in between. This same technology is used in hospitals to warm premature infants and is completely safe. It should never be confused with ultraviolet light, which gives you a sunburn and damages your skin, or atomic radiation like the kind in nuclear bombs.
Our infrared saunas are tuned to the human body, corresponding to our own bodies output and therefore enabling us to absorb 93% of the beneficial energy. According to Dr. Tsu-Tsair Oliver Chi, “these rays are selectively absorbed by the tissue needing a boost in their output. The internal production of infrared energy that normally occurs within our tissues is associated with a variety of healing responses and may require a boost to a maximal level to insure the fullest healing response possible in a tissue under repair, harmlessly. This phenomenon is called “resonant absorption." Learn More About Safety
