FAR Infrared Sauna Facts FAR INFRARED FACTS Fact: The human body emits and absorbs infrared at the 9.36 micron wavelength (FAR Infrared) Fact: The metabolic rate rises about 6% for every degree Fahrenheit rise in the body temperature. Fact: High heat kills tumors, cancer cells die at temperatures from 104 to 107 degrees. Fact: The sweat of those using an infrared sauna is 80% to 85% water with the 20% non-water portion principally consisting of cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, toxic heavy metals, sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia, and uric acid. Fact: Normal exercise does not produce the same amount of toxin release; only about 3-5% non-water solution. Fact: A considerable portion (10-15%) of the toxic materials excreted through the body will come out of the sebaceous sweat. Fact: The EPA reports that literally every American has accumulated measurable levels of some thirty different toxic chemicals in their tissues. The overall chemical load to which the human body is now exposed is unprecedented in human history. Fact: Infrared waves go directly into your body between 1.5 inches and 3 inches, depending upon the the fat and water content of the body, and the ratio of fat to muscle. Fact: Infrared heat penetrates further into fat and muscle for a far superior detoxification and for pain relief. Fact: Virtually every condition of ill health can be either eliminated or substantially improved by improving organ function through better distribution and assimilation of nutrients, removal of toxins and microbes and balancing the pH of the body. Fact: Rod type infrared heaters run at 400 to 600 degrees and have a low micron output in the range of 5.5 microns (near or middle infrared) Fact: The relationship between temperature and wavelength is inverse. The higher the surface temperature of the heater, the lower the micron wavelength Fact: Ceramic emitters run at a lower temperature and have the proper output. What is FAR Infrared Heat? Infrared heat is a form of energy that heats objects directly through conversion without heating the air between. The Sun produces most of its energy in the Infrared Spectrum of light. This band of light is not visible to the human eye. We can, however, feel this type of light, which we perceive as heat. Our atmosphere has a window that allows infrared rays in the 7 to 14 micron range to reach Earth's surface. The Sun is the principal source of infrared heat. "Remember how warm you feel from the Sun on a cold winter day while sitting in your car." Our bodies produce infrared energy to keep us warm and use it for tissue repair. FAR Infrared energy is radiated through the skin at 3 to 50 microns, with most out put at 9.4 microns.
