Far Infrared Sauna
Gentle, deep-penetrating heat that promotes detoxification, improves circulation, relieves pain, and supports overall relaxation and wellness.
What is a Far Infrared Sauna?
A Far Infrared Sauna (FIR Sauna) is a modern wellness tool that uses far-infrared light to generate heat and a range of health benefits. Unlike conventional saunas that warm the surrounding air, FIR saunas use infrared panels that emit light wavelengths which penetrate the skin and gently warm the body from within.
The light works in the 15–1000 micron range, penetrating about 1.5 inches beneath the skin to directly heat muscles and tissues at comfortable temperatures (110–140°F / 43–60°C) — boosting circulation, releasing toxins through sweat and triggering the body's healing processes.
Types of Infrared Saunas
Some units combine all three wavelengths; others specialise in far infrared for deeper, more focused results.
Near Infrared (NIR)
Shorter wavelengths (0.75–1.5 microns) that address the skin surface and cellular healing — wound healing, skin rejuvenation and collagen production.
Mid Infrared (MIR)
Medium wavelengths (1.5–5.6 microns) that reach deeper into soft tissues to improve circulation and relieve pain.
Far Infrared (FIR)
Longer wavelengths (5.6–1000 microns) that penetrate deeply — ideal for detoxification, relaxation and muscle recovery.
Benefits of Far Infrared Saunas
Detoxification
Deep sweating helps eliminate toxins, heavy metals and environmental pollutants through the skin.
Improved Circulation
Increases blood flow and oxygen delivery, supporting cardiovascular health and faster recovery.
Pain Relief
Eases joint stiffness, muscle soreness and chronic pain — helpful for arthritis, fibromyalgia and sports injuries.
Relaxation & Stress Relief
Gentle, enveloping heat calms the nervous system and lowers cortisol for deeper relaxation.
Skin Health
Sweating cleanses pores and improves skin tone, elasticity and appearance; helps reduce cellulite.
Weight Management
Raised heart rate and sweating support calorie burn, mimicking mild aerobic exercise.
Speedy Recovery
Delivers oxygen to joints and extremities, accelerating healing of sprains and fractures.
Better Digestion
Promotes the blood circulation and oxygen needed for proper digestion.
