Infrared Saunas

What is Infrared Heat?

Quite simply infrared is the radiation that is produced by all warm objects from the sun or a tiled stove to our bodies.  The German born English astronomer and composer, Sir William Herschel discovered in 1800 that the heat given off by the suns radiation increases just beyond the red end of the visible spectrum (the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to and can be detected by the human eye).  Although we cannot see infra-red radiation, we can feel it and there is no doubt about its effects.

How Does it Work?

Radiation emitted by an infra-red source is absorbed into the skin and the underlying tissue layers.   The body’s circulatory system then transmits this heat through the entire body.  Infra-red is a safe form of long-wave radiation and an excellent way to relax and increase your general sense of well-being without side effects.
