Far Infrared Sauna Benefits

Traditional dry saunas use either wood stoves or 220-V heaters to heat the air. On the other hand, far infrared saunas utilize 120-V infrared elements to heat the air.
Because infrared heat penetrates more deeply than warmed air, users establish a more strenuous sweat at a lower temperature than they would in traditional saunas. The cardiovascular demand which involves sweating, vasodilation, decreased afterload, increased heart rate, and increased cardiac output is similar to that achieved by running. It is for this reason that far infared saunas is very beneficial to those who are stationary and inactive as a result of various medical conditions, such as arthritis or heart or respiratory problems.
