So what is Infra Red Heat and
how does the Infrared Sauna help you?

You know that feeling of sitting outside on a cool day and when the sun comes out from behind the clouds, you instantly feel that beautiful warmth touch your skin and warm you right through to the bone. That is the far infrared wavelength of light – (It’s important NOT TO CONFUSE the safe Infrared light with the ultraviolet and other types of harmful wavelength-light that we can get from the sun) – Far Infra Red light is not harmful and in fact is highly beneficial, penetrating deeply into skin and tissues to induce a healing and detoxification.

Infrared light, which we experience as heat, is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum. Although we can’t see it, we can feel it in the warmth of sunshine on our skin. Infrared light is so safe it’s used to keep new born babies warm in hospital and helps them self-regulate their temperature. (Source: World Health Organisation)

Our bodies naturally radiate infrared heat too. Think, the warmth of a hug? Infrared heat. The feeling you get when you hold hands? Not necessarily caused by infrared heat, but your hands do in fact emit about 8-10 microns of infrared.

Traditional wet (steam) and dry saunas use heated air to warm the body, which means they typically have to be uncomfortably hot to reach therapeutic levels. Infrared saunas, on the other hand, penetrate into muscles and other soft tissues directly, causing the body to relax deeply, and gently perspire at a more comfortable ambient temperature.

The infrared sauna produces the same type infrared heat produced by the sun, but without any harmful ultraviolet light or side effects. Infrared heat is required for all living things for optimum health. The radiant heat from your infrared sauna surrounds you and penetrates deeply into your joints, muscles and tissues increasing oxygen flow and circulation.

You will find the experience of the Shepard Health Group Infrared Sauna, both relaxing and enjoyable, but more importantly it will give you long term health and healing benefits.
