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.
