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.
All of this infrared ray sauna buzz is a direct result of two important and unique features of these portable saunas. First, they are portable, so you can take them everywhere you travel. All you need is a duffel bag, or anything really, as long as its roughly the size of a suitcase. Second, they are very efficient at what they do. The average person can burn as many calories sitting in their portable infrared sauna reading a magazine for 30 minutes that they can running 2-3 miles.
If you want joint and muscle pain relief then you only need to spend a little time in your portable sauna. Additionally, several scientists in the Czech Republic have shown that endorphins are released after a short 30 minute session. These endorphins further assist in pain relief as well as giving you that euphoric sensation that often comes after a good workout.
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.
When toxins such as mercury, lead, chlorine, etc. enter our systems, they are absorbed by water molecules with-in our cells. Where ever these toxins are found, cellular energy is lessened and blood circulation is blocked. Deep penetrating infrared heat causes the water molecules to vibrate which reduces the ion bonds that hold together the molecules of water. Encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released as the breakdown of the water molecules takes place.
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.
One of the major effects of the deep penetrating infrared heat is a relaxing of internal muscles and organs. There are few better ways to escape the stresses of daily life than with a session in one of these portable saunas.
With so many health benefits, the ease of portability and a price tag of around only $300 for an entire spa, it is no wonder the portable infrared saunas are popular. What took so long for someone to come up with the idea?
