IS THE INFRARED LIGHT OR HEAT DANGEROUS?

Frequently Asked Questions about infrared Saunas By TheSauna...
It is safer than natural sunlight. Our infrared light and heat has all the benefits of sunlight without the danger of ultra-violet rays. Our infrared light penetrates almost 2” into the body faster then conventional saunas thus implementing health benefits quicker and more beneficially.

HOW DANGEROUS IS THE HEAT AND LIGHT FROM AN INFRARED SAUNA?

FAQs
Because infrared light has no ultra-violet rays, it is actually as beneficial, but much safer than natural sunlight. It is also more effective than steam because the infrared light penetrates the body so quickly and safely.

What is infrared light?

EyeCare Information on Eye Conditions
Infrared light from the sun is experienced on the earth in the form of heat. Quality sunglasses protect your eyes from the fatiguing and drying effects of infrared radiation.

Is Far Infrared Radiation Dangerous?

The Wolfe Clinic - Frequently Asked Questions
No, while it's true the sun's rays should be used judiciously, especially by fair-skinned people, the fact remains that infrared radiation is safe and promotes vital health. It is the harmful ultraviolet light that Sunscreen lotions block. There are many harmful rays given off by the sun but Far Infrared Rays are not among them. The energy is absolutely essential and beneficial for human beings and all living things in the world.

Why is infrared heat better than traditional steam heat?

SaunaGen? - FAQs
Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. FIR heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally. Traditional steam saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. FIR saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, FIR saunas emit a wavelength and heat the body directly.

What is infrared heat?

FAQ
It is a warm soothing heat that helps feet relax by warming the muscles and ligaments. It is especially helpful for feet that have been under hours of strain.

What is far-infrared radiant heat?

SaunaGen? - FAQs
Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is a form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by direct light conversion (DLC). DLC warms only the object and does not raise the temperature of the surrounding free air. All life requires FIR heat from the sun. FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of energy within the 5.6 to 15 micron level. This type of energy travels only 2-3" deep into the body to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue.

Q: Are there natural forms of Far Infrared Heat?

The Wolfe Clinic - Frequently Asked Questions
Of course, the Sun is our primary source of Infrared heat. Have you ever been outside on a partly cloudy spring day of about 50 degrees F. and felt quite comfortable until the sun was suddenly obscured by a cloud? Although the air temperature had not had time to drop, you felt chilled, as the cloud would not let the warming infrared rays through to reach you. Infrared light is an important energy force that promotes healing - a rising of the white blood cell count.

How does infrared heat therapy relieves pain?

SaunaGen? - FAQs
FIR heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process. Recent health and medical studies name FIR heat as a successful treatment for arthritis, rheumatism and muscle spasms. ^ back

How does infrared heat therapy control weight?

SaunaGen? - FAQs
Perspiring is part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes water soluble at 110?F and the body sweats out fats and toxins. ^ back

How does infrared heat therapy eliminate toxins?

SaunaGen? - FAQs
Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel) accumulate in the body during modern daily life. The body eliminates most toxins naturally by sweating but the process is sometimes too slow. Infrared heat therapy stimulates the sweat glands that cleanse and detoxify the skin. The FIR heat technology simply speeds up the body's natural process! ^ back

How does infrared heat therapy improved immune system?

SaunaGen? - FAQs
Most illnesses are accompanied by a fever. During a fever, the body heats up to eliminate viruses and attack foreign agents. Often misunderstood, this rise in temperature is a natural stage of the immune system's healing process and is one of the best ways to rid the body of chemicals and unwelcome visitors. The immune system weakens the hold of viruses and bacterial growth. FIR heat therapy induces an "artificial fever" by heating up the body but without the pains of an illness.

How does infrared heat therapy reduce stress?

SaunaGen? - FAQs
Infrared heat therapy loosens the muscles and relaxes the body prior to a massage. Many massage therapists use infrared heat to provide more thorough and effective treatment. ^ back

How does infrared heat therapy benefit my skin?

SaunaGen? - FAQs
Infrared heat improves circulation, expels dirt & chemicals and removes dead cells on the surface of the skin. All of these benefits lead to a more soft and firm complexion. ^ back The heat source for infrared saunas is Far-Infrared Radiant (FIR) heat. It is simply a form of energy that is directly transmitted onto objects because of its specific wavelength. It has nothing to do with ultraviolet light which is known to cause sunburn and damage skin.

Is Infrared Heat harmful?

Sauna FAQ
Not in the least bit. Infrared light and infrared heat have been used be doctors and scientists for decades. There have been thousands of documented studies and there has been no recorded evidence that there are any ill effects of Infrared energy. Unlike Ultraviolet energy, which can be very damaging to the skin and ultimately lead to cancer, Infrared energy is completely safe and has numerous beneficial health affects on the human body.

Will infrared LED light help with dry skin?

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQS) about Infrared LED Deep Pen...
YES, using infrared LED photo rejuvenation lights according to directions will help normalize dry skin.

Why is JWST optimized for near- and mid-infrared light?

The James Webb Space Telescope
The primary goals of JWST are to study galaxy, star and planet formation in the Universe. To see the very first stars and galaxies form in the early Universe, we have to look deep into space to look back in time (because it takes light time to travel from there to here, the farther out we look, the further we look back in time). The Universe is expanding, and therefore the farther we look, the faster objects are moving away from us, creating redshift.

What Is Far Infrared Heat?

Personal Trainer, Personal training secrets: April 2005
Infrared heat is light produced by the sun. This is the heat you feel penetrate your skin when you stand in the sun - and miss when you walk into the shade. Infrared energy is also given off as body heat. The human body can also absorb infrared heat. Infrared energy is measured in wavelengths as microns. The human body can best absorb infrared energy in the 3- to 50-micron range, with the best absorption occurring at 9.4 microns.
