Is Infrared Safe?
far infrared sauna session readingInfrared lamps have been used for decades to warm newborn babies as well as to provide relief and healing for muscles and joints.

Infrared is a part of the sun’s light spectrum that is essential to humans, plants and animals.

The most vital rays to the human body are within the 6 to 14 micron range, although the body absorbs infrared in the 3 to 50 micron range.

Sometimes, due to pain, injury or toxins, our bodies need a boost to insure healing. When cells or tissues in the body are exposed to infrared heat between 6-14 microns, with the optimum absorption at 9.4 microns, response mechanisms stimulate the healing process within the body. This process is known as resonant absorption.

What is Far Infrared?
Far Infrared energy in the 6 to 14 micron range can penetrate the body directly, without heating the intervening air. Unlike traditional saunas, a far infrared sauna does not create hot air – the heat penetrates directly into the muscles.

TheraSauna TheraMitter heaters emit infrared in wavelengths of 6 to 14 microns, with the greatest output at 9.4 microns. This is within the same wavelengths naturally emitted by the human body. Your body can absorb this infrared radiant heat as deep as 1 1/2" -  2 inches below the skin for maximum deep muscle therapy.

What is the Maximum Temperature of the Infrared Sauna Cabin?

One of the main benefits of the infrared sauna over the traditional wet/hot rock sauna is that the ambient temperature can remain relatively low, but the sweat induced is far greater.

The max temp in the sauna is between 130F & 135F, which is more than adequate for a far infrared sauna, as the light waves penetrate the skin and create heat as well as the heat waves that are warming your skin on the outside. "I use my sauna at between 125F and 130F."

Infrared Sauna Benefits

TheraSauna operates at much safer and more comfortable temperatures of 110 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot Tub Outpost offers TheraSauna and TheraSauna Classic infrared sauna lines –  made in the USA with the best components and features.

Every sauna is hand crafted with state of the art controls, top quality heaters and Therasauna features aspen hardwood. Therasauna Classic offers the more affordable hemlock wood.  We also carry a standard line of Better Life dry infrared saunas.

How often you use the sauna will depend on your personal preference, health issues and time constraints.

Some people with rheumatoid arthritis prefer to go in several times a day for short sessions to feel more limber and less pain. Others with deep muscle pain may do a longer 30-40 minute session.
