In the traditional heater, the heating elements heat the air and a mass of stones. This allows for a consistent heat and the custom of sprinkling water on the stones, which changes the environment in the sauna dramatically.

The infrared heaters have exposed heating elements, so that the heat radiates directly onto the bather in sort of a one sided fashion. These infrared heaters have a much lower capacity, so the most common complaint is that they fail to attain the heat typical for a genuine sauna, especially on the part of the body turned away from the heater.

You also sacrifice the ability to sprinkle water on the heater, and one must question whether it’s actually healthy to expose one’s self to such direct radiation, or how enjoyable such an experience is, compared to the traditional sauna.

In contrast, the traditional Scandinavian style saunas are centuries old (they were heated with wood before electricity), and their safety and therapeutic efficacy is well established.

As with tainted toothpaste, poisonous pet food and lead painted children’s toys, some of these infrared saunas are downright hazardous at least according to the Electrical Safety Authority in Ontario, Canada. See…

Sauna by Airwall, Inc. even recalled their saunas due to a fire hazard caused by faulty heating units and fuses. See…

There are some unbelievable claims circulating about infrared saunas. One regards weight loss – 600 to 800 calories burned from sitting in one! Weight loss claims for any type of sauna are just hype. Your body just loses water, and it’s dangerous to lose weight through dehydration. See what a real doctor says about it at…

Always check the country of origin!

I have my reservation thought with regards to

When far infrared waves are applied to water molecules (comprising 70% of our body) these molecules begin to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds and the eventual breakdown of the water molecules causes encapsulated gases and other toxic materials to be released.

Is there any substantial proof or data to show that molecules will begin to vibrate when far infra red waves are applied to water and this in turn helps to break down toxic materials?

The way I undestand it, ultra sonic bubbles has to be created thru ultrasonic waves (not through far infra red) and that ozone could help to break down toxic materials..

Nice article you have. But I don’t think that infrared sauna is worth compare to our health. Although we may feel the benefits as you mention, but there are also side effects on our skin.

Thanks
