The sauna is a small heated room. It is used for bathing as well as for mental and physical relaxation. It can be the traditional sauna, wet sauna or the new dry infrared sauna. While a hot sauna may seem a cruel punishment to inexperienced, Infrared sauna is truly a very pleasant experience. All you need is a towel (maybe not) and a little time.
Sauna have long been used around the world for improved health and relaxation. The sauna has a long history and has been around for thousands of years. The Turkish hamam, the Russian banya, the Native American sweat lodge or inipi, and the Japanese onsen are just a few. Fins have been using the sauna for over a thousand years and today there are over 1,200,000 saunas in private homes, 800,000 in summer cottages and public swimming pools, Now that is over 2-million and there are only 5.2 million people in Finland.
Traditional steam saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. Far Infra Red (FIR) saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, FIR saunas heat the body directly. The result is a lower power bill and deeper tissue penetration. In the FIR sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna. FIR saunas are safe for all ages.
Traditional saunas are more likely to spread and cultivate bacteria in the humid air, therefore a steam sauna creates a more sanitary environment. An Infrared Sauna will typically heat up in a shorter time period than a steam sauna.
Royale Far infrared saunas provide the following health benefits:
Better Circulation and Increased Energy
The sauna emits FIR energy that is absorbed by human cells, causing a physical phenomenon called "resonance". Thus the cellular activities are instantly invigorated, resulting in a better blood circulation and an overall improved metabolism.
Weight Loss Aid
FIR Sauna heat therapy can aid in weight loss by speeding up the metabolic process of vital organs and endocrine glands resulting in substantial caloric loss in a sauna heat session. Burn around more than 600 calories in 20 min. of usage.
Maintain Cardiovascular Health
The FIR Sauna increases heart rate and blood circulation, crucial to maintaining one's health. The heart rate increases as more blood flow is diverted from the inner organs towards the extremities of the skin, without heightening blood pressure.
Speed Recovery from Injuries
For injuries, FIR generated heat stimulates vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities, speeding the healing of sprains and strains, thus relieving pain and reducing the time it takes the human body to recover from an injury.
Detoxification
The quicker metabolic rate causes extra toxic waste products to be purged from the body through the skin, during perspiration. The skin is often referred to as the 3rd kidney, because it is believed to be responsible for eliminating 30% of the body's waste.
Stress Reduction & Relaxation
FIR Sauna heat treatment before a massage also helps prepare a client by creating an overall relaxing effect. It loosens the muscle tissue so the therapist can do a more thorough and effective massage.
Skin Beauty
For that sought after healthy glow, FIR Sauna heat therapy allows increased blood circulation to carry great amounts of nutrients to the skin, thus promoting healthy tone and texture. A FIR Sauna heat bath also provides a mild cleansing of the skin.
