Portable Infrared Saunas And How They Heal

Finally, portable infrared ray saunas are available and at a price we can all live with. In the few years since portable infrared ray saunas have been available to purchase they have topped the wish lists of people around the globe.

The reasons behind the popularity of the portable infrared ray saunas are pretty obvious, and two fold. On the one hand you can bring them along with you no matter the destination due to their portability. On the other hand they have a huge bang for their buck. Studies show that a thirty minute session in a portable infrared ray sauna is roughly equivalent to a 2-3 mile run.

It only takes a few minutes in a portable sauna to experience pain relief in the joints and muscles. Infrared sauna often lead to a mild workout high of the sort that comes after long periods of physical exertion. This is a direct result of endorphins. According to scientists in the Czech Republic, the endorphins are released during infrared sauna use.

As a result of everyday living we accumulate toxins in our bodies. Experts are saying that we have over 400 new toxins today that didn’t even exist 45 years ago (Dr. Steve Nugent, 2003.) This is a trend that portable infrared saunas have been proven to be a major contributor in reversing this trend and removing many of the toxins in our bodies’ cells.

Many toxins like lead or mercury are ever more present in our environment today and as a consequence enter our the cells of our bodies via water molecules. This strains our blood circulation and lowers our energy levels. This is where the infrared ray heat comes into play. It is able to deeply penetrate our skin and breakdown the water molecules. This allows the encased toxins to be flushed from the body.

Portable FAR Infrared Saunas operate between 160F to 175F (70C to 80C) very effectively, creating an environment that is warm and comfortable. Far Infrared utilizes direct light conversion to produce energy wavelengths between 7 and 14 micrometers (m) or between 7,000 and 14,000 nanometers (nm), which is the beneficial range for humans (the longer penetrating waves). Since the human body is made up of 60% water, it absorbs infrared most efficiently (the deepest heat penetration) at 9.4 m, which is within the portable infrared saunas energy spectrum.

Since infrared heat penetrates down into your body’s core, it creates a deep healthy sweat, while also relaxing the internal organs and muscles. Portable infrared saunas are a great excuse for a relaxing, quiet rest time in an otherwise stress-filled lifestyle.

It is a wonder no one came up with these sooner. They are so effective at what they do and are easy to bring everywhere you go. At around three-hundred dollars apiece they are a steal.
