Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is a COMPLETELY SAFE form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by direct light conversion (DLC). DLC warms only the object and does not raise the temperature of the surrounding free air. All life requires FIR heat from the sun. FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of energy within the 5.6 to 15 micron level. This type of energy travels 2-3" deep into the body to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue.

The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all of this energy is beneficial. Although life needs energy from the sun, too much sunlight damages the skin. FIR heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation.

Today, many healthcare professionals use ceramic infrared heaters to treat a variety of diseases throughout the world, for instance to treat muscle and joint problems and incubators in neonatal care units are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep babies warm.

Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. FIR heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally.

Traditional steam saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. FIR saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, FIR saunas heat the body directly. The result is deeper tissue penetration. In the FIR sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna. FIR saunas are safe for all ages.

FIR has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect. The human body can absorb FIR because of its deep penetrating ability. When FIR penetrates through skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of the tissues causes bloods vessels and capillaries to dilate, promoting a better blood circulation, and the heat so produced helps to get rid of body toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating.

Because cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and waste products trapped near the surface of the skin, Infrared Sauna is very beneficial. It is particularly effective in cellulite removal when used in conjunction with another cellulite reduction treatment.

FIR heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process. Many people use FIR heat as a successful treatment for arthritis, rheumatism and muscle spasms.

Perspiring is part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes water soluble at 110ºF and the body sweats out fats and toxins.

Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel) and mercury accumulate in the body during modern daily life.

The body eliminates most toxins naturally by sweating but the process is sometimes too slow. Infrared heat therapy stimulates the sweat glands that cleanse and detoxify the skin. The FIR heat technology simply speeds up the body's natural process!

Most illnesses are accompanied by a fever. During a fever, the body heats up to eliminate viruses and attack foreign agents. Often misunderstood, this rise in temperature is a natural stage of the immune system's healing process and is one of the best ways to rid the body of chemicals and unwelcome visitors.

The immune system weakens the hold of viruses and bacterial growth. FIR heat therapy induces an "artificial fever" by heating up the body but without the pains of an illness.

Subsequently, the body wards off invading organisms much more easily because the immune system is activated consistently by the "artificial fever". Recent studies also show that colds and flu-like illnesses are reduced dramatically if treated in the early stages with FIR heat therapy.

Infrared heat therapy loosens the muscles and relaxes the body.

Infrared heat improves circulation, expels dirt & chemicals and removes dead cells on the surface of the skin. All of these benefits lead to a clearer, firm and, attractive complexion.

FIR cause resonance with water molecules in human body. It ionize and activates water molecules in our cells and blood thus improve our blood circulation. This helps retain health condition, freshens and prolongs life.

LuxSaunas use a combination of Carbon and ceramic. The black bio spectrum ceramic heaters output 20% more light energy than basic white ceramic. When choosing the heater that is right for you it is important to understand that it is really a personal preference.

If you prefer very hot showers, we recommend Ceramic heaters. If you are more sensitive to heat, we recommend you choose Carbon panel heaters as it diffuses the light energy over an entire wall. The benefit of Ceramic heaters is the ability to do spot work in specific local areas of the body that you are experiencing pain.

The type of wood used when comparing saunas is important because many woods outgas toxic materials and allergens. Most woods are not durable over time as you heat and cool the sauna most wood has a tendency to crack, break or splinter. LuxSauna only uses the best wood that does not outgas and is durable over time. We use high grade Russian spruce, Canadian Spruce and Fir.

As with anything, you get what you pay for. Competitors offering lower prices usually compromise wood quality, and go with cheaper heat emitters that don’t output the desired intensity of light to get maximum benefits of sauna use.

Although steam has been in use for hundreds of years, infrared technology has displaced this archaic method of detoxifying the body by improving the amount of toxins released through the skin by 20%.

Yes, FIR does positively impact the health of your lungs by clearing inflammation, swelling and mucous clogged passages, as testified to in Dr. Yamazaki’s book The Scientific Basis and Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared Ray Therapy.

LuxSaunas far infrared technology displaces traditional steam saunas for many reasons. Far infrared technology dispels 20% more toxins through sweating in a 30-minute session than the traditional steam sauna.

As toxins are shaken loose on a molecular level Infrared therapy has a proven track record to clear inflammation, swelling and mucous clogged passages as stated by Toshio Yamazaki, M.D author of "The Scientific Basis and Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared Ray Therapy” where she presents the clinical effects of far infrared ray therapy.

Although far infrared sauna technology has been distributed around the world for nearly 30 years, the technology only hit the USA about 22 years ago.

It is a relatively new industry that directly conflicts with western medicine ideals of treating the symptoms with harmful medication to kill bacteria, virus, and other ailments before the medication kills you rather than treating the person to improve immunity to foreign and harmful toxins and disease.

Are there any medications that are not recommended for use with your saunas?

Far Infrared Heat, like standing in the sun on a cold day, causes the body to heat up from the inside. Deep penetration of infrared rays stimulates your muscle tissue and your internal organs.

As your body heats up the blood flowing in your body rises from 5 to 13 quarts per minute. Your body reacts to this heat with a hypothalamic - induced increase in both heart volume and rate.

As your body temperature increases to 103.5 degrees your fat and the toxins stored within your fat become water soluble and are extricated through the body’s largest organ the skin.

Yes. Long term use of recreational alcohol or drugs can change the physiology of the brain and its neurotransmitter receptors. Due to a decrease of recreational drugs affecting the brain’s neurotransmitters the body develops mild to severe drug withdrawals depending on the substance addiction.

Far infrared therapy can reduce these withdrawal symptoms by removing addictive toxic residues and healing changed brain physiology and actually helping the process of repairing brain cells.

The benefits of far infrared therapy in treating cancer are a controversial subject for many medical providers.

One of the many LuxSauna Line patented features is the unique far infrared heater combination of both (100%) ceramic and (100%) carbon heaters. This combination is the best of both worlds when it comes to producing effective Far Infrared Heat that is the most beneficial to humans.

LuxSauna Line manufacturers the best far infrared heaters that penetrate the body virtually at the speed of light because it matches your body’s energy level - 98% or more.

This directly heats your body rather than heating the sauna room itself. So you will enjoy profuse sweating and massive benefits from just 110℉ inside an infrared sauna and 300% to 500% more than an old fashioned hot rock or steam sauna at 210℉.

Heat from LuxSauna Line saunas penetrates deep into your subcutaneous fat where it will produce a resonance - liquefying fat and suspending Acids and toxins so they can be released from the body. As much as 20% of your sweat will be toxins; compared to 3% in a hot rock sauna.

Many infrared saunas on the market have ONLY Carbon heaters. This is not the best solution for optimal health benefits. Our testing of most of the competitors demonstrated a long wait before sweat production; 13-minutes on average. LuxSauna Line Sauna infrared heaters produce copious sweat in just 2-minutes.

LuxSauna Line far infrared sauna heaters are a unique combination of ceramic and carbon. At the source; ceramic heaters get quite hot and carbon not nearly as much. So if you’re in one of those 100% carbon saunas – you will be able to stay in the sauna for longer periods of time because it’s not as hot – although you also won’t be sweating out toxins nearly as much.

The ceramic heater will quickly raise your body’s core temperature. You sweat more and quicker and the carbon allows you to hang in there for an extra 15-20 minutes to get the maximum benefits. If you’re going to use an infrared sauna – use the best!
