More Information on Infrared Saunas

What will an Infrared Sauna Treatment at the Healing Corner do for me? 

Doctors in Europe and Japan have conducted extensive research on the therapeutic benefits of infrared therapy. Far infrared treatments have shown Medical Benefits in a variety of illnesses. Far infrared waves speed removal of toxins from the body, which are often a major contributor to various health problems.

Numerous toxins are absorbed and stored in our bodies. Toxic gases like sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and substances like lead, mercury, and chlorine are encapsulated by large water molecules. When toxins are present in the body, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body’s immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult for the body to fight disease.

However, when 9.4 microns of far infrared are applied, the large water molecules vibrate and breakdown the ion bond to release the encapsulated gases and toxic materials. Far infrared heat has been used in the treatment of clogged capillary vessels; this heat expands the capillaries and skin pores to expel toxins from the body.

 

What makes the Infrared Saunas at The Healing Corner so special? 

The human body absorbs infrared in the 3 to 50 micron range. However, far infrared waves between 6 to 14 microns have proven to have special regenerative effects on the body, with an optimum absorption at the 9.4 micron frequency. TheraSauna® emits the greatest amount of infrared in the 9.4 micron range. When any cell or tissue in the body is exposed to these levels of far infrared heat, response mechanisms stimulate the healing process in the body.

Additionally, infrared therapy is extremely safe because the body has its own process for naturally filtering for the infrared heat it needs called resonant absorption. In fact, infrared light is so safe that it is used in hospitals to warm newborn babies!

Sauna Control

Micron Power Select™ allows you to vary the infrared output from each TheraMitter™ zone and control the infrared micron range during your sauna session. TheraMitters™ can be exclusively customized to a surface temperature between approximately 450°F down to an amazing 126°F. This is a extremely useful feature for multiple sauna users. For example, the person on the right can set their back TheraMitters™ on full power and their feet to half power while the person on the left can set their back TheraMitter™ to 80% power and their feet to 60% power.

This highly innovative feature allows you to program your sauna to your personal comfort level. The MPS settings can be adjusted from 100% to 7% for each zone. On the MPS Touchview Control screen in “MPS SETUP,” you can choose the level for each TheraMitter™.

Made from Non Toxic Aspen Wood

Infrared energy heats objects directly and penetrates up to 2 inches below the surface. This means the infrared heat also penetrates the sauna wood in addition to your skin, so the wood that a sauna is made of is very important.

Cedar and redwood contain a natural insecticide within these wood called turpines. When a sauna made of cedar or redwood is turned on, these naturally occurring oils within the wood become heated and gas off a substance called cedrine. Cedrine attacks the central nervous system of insects and kills them. In some cases, it can also cause vomiting and convulsions in humans.

Our saunas are made of aspen hardwood, which is a clear wood grown at elevations where the trees do not produce an insecticide. Our aspen wood is carefully chosen, and we make sure that all of our aspen wood is furniture grade. Other saunas have thinner wood and are much less durable, where the Therasauna® infrared Saunas at The Healing Corner use only the thickest and most durable wood, which is 2-3 times thicker than competitors’. Sauna’s made from other types of wood may cause health issues to users.
