| Infrared sauna-Far infrared sauna vs conventional saunas-health benefit |
far infrared vs conventional saunas a conventional sauna must rely only on indirect means of heat: first, on convection (air currents) and then, conduction (direct contact of hot air with the skin)he air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. thus an infrared sauna can warm its user to a much greater depth and much more efficiently than a conventionalthrough a far infrared sauna that are not attainable through a conventional sauna. the infrared energy applied in these saunas may induce up to 2 - 3 times the sweat volume of a hot-air sauna. theyl sauna. the lower heat range is safer for those concerned about cardiovascular risk factors that might be encountered in old-style hot-air sauna far infrared the electromagnetic spectrum is divided 0.076 to 1.5 microns = near or close; 1.5 to 5.6 = middle or intermediate; 5.6 to 1,000 = far or long wave infrared. the far infrared segment of the electromagnetic spectrum occurs just below, ores but we can, however, feel this type of light, which we perceive as heat.when warmed, the earth radiates infrared rays in the 7 to 14 micron bands with its peak output at 10 microns. our palms emitutput in the long band from 5.6 to 25 microns. the output is evenly spread around the 9.4 micron pivot point of peak human output. the energy output from the infrared sauna corresponds so closely to
