What Are Infrared Rays?

Infrared light is the spectrum of light that we experience as heat. Although it is invisible to the naked eye, we can feel its warmth. The sun emits the majority of its energy in the infrared range. Infrared rays can warm your body directly without needing to heat the surrounding air, a process known as conversion.

Infrared is categorized into three segments based on their wavelengths measured in microns: Near Infrared (0.76-1.5 microns), Middle Infrared (1.5-5.6 microns), and Far Infrared (5.6-1000 microns). Of these, Far Infrared has the ability to penetrate organic materials, including the human body, by two to three inches, creating a consistent and uniform warming effect.

How Infrared Saunas Work

Infrared Saunas differ from traditional saunas in that they use infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate into the body's tissue to produce perspiration. Traditional saunas use steam to heat the air inside the sauna, which then heats your body until you begin to perspire. In order for this to be effective, temperatures would need to reach in the upwards of 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Infrared saunas only need a temperature of up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to obtain the same effect. This lower temperature makes the environment more tolerable and allows you to breathe easier.

Health Benefits

Infrared rays penetrate the body, creating a deep heating effect in both muscle tissues and internal organs without placing excessive strain on the heart. This increased heat triggers the body's natural cooling mechanism through perspiration. As you sweat, your body effectively eliminates acid and waste, including toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol, and potentially harmful heavy metals like zinc, lead, nickel, and cadmium.

The process of perspiration opens the pores of your skin, allowing for the expulsion of waste products and the shedding of old skin cells. This not only detoxifies the body but also leaves your skin looking radiant and revitalized, enhancing its tone, elasticity, texture, and overall color.

Is Infrared Safe?

Infrared rays, being a natural component of sunlight, are not only safe but also offer significant benefits to our bodies at a cellular level. Their ability to penetrate the skin promotes improved circulation, increases tissue oxygenation, and supports the body’s healing processes. Health professionals have utilized infrared heat lamps for decades to effectively treat a variety of muscle and joint issues, providing relief from pain and promoting faster recovery.

In medical settings, such as hospital baby care units, incubators are often outfitted with infrared heating systems to maintain a stable and warm environment for newborns. This is crucial for their development, as it helps regulate their body temperature and supports overall health. The gentle warmth of infrared helps to create a nurturing atmosphere, ensuring that vulnerable infants receive the best possible care while they grow and thrive.
