Far-Infrared heat has been credited with several health benefits including:

• Detoxifying your system
• Burning calories
• Relieving muscle and joint pain

Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat, simply put, is a form of energy. This energy directly transmits, or penetrates, into objects and people because of its specific wavelength.

The warmth of the sun and the warmth you feel when you rub your hands together are forms of infrared heat. It is not to be confused with Ultraviolet rays that cause sunburn and skin damage.

There are near (NIR), mid (MIR) and far (FIR) infrared waves. "Far" means that the infrared waves measure in the "far" range of the light spectrum. Far-infrared waves have no visible light, and so safe that they are used in hospitals to warm newborn babies in incubators.

“Infra” means below and describes the rays as those that are below the “red” visible and damaging rays of the light spectrum.

Far-infrared heat waves are gentle and comfortable. The waves are absorbed by through your skin and penetrate as deep as 1-2 inches into your body to warm you directly and quickly. Because it heats you and not the air, the heat in a far-infrared sauna is not harsh on your lungs or skin like old-fashioned traditional steam and rock saunas.

Far-infrared heaters, such as those in our saunas, simulate the conversion process of the sun that naturally heats objects. The warmth that you feel relaxes muscles, reduces stress, increases circulation, and burns calories.

Also, because of the deep penetration of the rays, you will sweat more toxins out of your body than you would in a traditional sauna. Far-infrared sauna sessions are widely accepted as the most effective way to detoxify your system from toxins, heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum, pesticides and other impurities.

Low watt ceramic far-infrared heaters emit far-infrared rays that best match the measurement of the human bodies' far infrared absorption point will and give off almost 96% far-infrared rays and less than 5% residual, unwanted, uncomforatable heat waves.

Therefore, far-infrared heaters that are made with ceramic are considered to be the most natural and safe type of far-infrared heaters and the new lower watt ceramic heaters provide the highest level of far-infrared output over traditional ceramic rod heaters and are considered to be the most effective heater on the market today!

Not all far-infrared heaters are made with ceramic, or are low enough watt to be as effective, so it is very important to ask what the heaters are made of and what watt they are when shopping for a far-infrared sauna and settle for nothing less than high quality low watt ceramic heater elements.

All SaunaGen™ saunas manufactured by Kingston Global, Inc. are equipped with very high quality 163 watt FTE concave ceramic heaters that are made in the USA and are UL certified.
