Far infrared saunas heat the body directly rather than heating the air around your body.
Infrared saunas are used the same way as a traditional sauna except the heat from an infrared sauna is not as intense and is well tolerated by more people. Infrared light is not visible, but you will feel the heat warming your skin and increasing your internal body temperature.
Infrared light is one of the invisible spectrums of light produced by the sun. It’s what makes your skin feel warm when you’re in the sun. Your skin easily absorbs these wavelengths.
“Far” describes where the infrared waves fall on the light spectrum. Far infrared rays are most similar to the natural heat of your body and are readily captured by your cells.
Many people can spend longer in an infrared sauna as opposed to a traditional sauna, which may give them more therapeutic benefits.
