Other Sauna Questions
How Do Far Infrared Saunas differ from Conventional Saunas? A conventional sauna, wet or dry, super heats the air which heats the outside of your skin (no penetration). It is typically used between 180 - 240 degrees F. This extreme heat is hard on the respiratory and eyes of some people and is not recommended for people with heart problems. The Far Infrared Sauna is used between 100 - 120 degrees F. The Far Infrared waves penetrate almost 2 inches into the body, activating the release of toxins, heavy metals and poisons from our adipose (fat) tissue which then travel via our lymphatic fluids and onto our skin through our sweat, so we can simply shower them away ! There is 2 -3 times the sweat produced than that of a conventional sauna and approximately 20% of this sweat is toxins being released, compared to only 2 - 3% in a regular sauna! The cost of purchasing is consderably less, and the cost of use is 90% less, some units costing less than a dime for one hour of use! The Far Infrared Sauna is fully portable, so you don't have to leave it behind, ever!
Is it expensive to run? No. The 1 and 2 person Solarus Saunas cost less than a dime for an hour of usage. The larger units cost a little more. All units shut off automatically after one hours use.
