Some folks think that using an infrared sauna is unnatural … but is it?
In fact, you come into contact with infrared rays everyday. The sun emits infrared rays which are absorbed by your body which heats you internally.
An infrared sauna merely heats your body using the same infrared rays without harmful exposure to Ultraviolet Rays. The infrared emitters in your sauna mimic the effect of natural sunlight on your body and intensify the positive effects.
The far infrared rays penetrate up to 3 inches within your body. This affects both your skin and internal organs. This allows for deeper stimulation and extraction of impurities.
