This is not just another sauna...
All saunas are not the same!

Traditional saunas which are found in health clubs use a wet heat produced by pouring water over super heated rocks in an insulated, tightly enclosed room where the air heats to an excess of 180º-200º F. This can be very uncomfortable and make it difficult to breathe. The body is warmed only on the skin and superficial muscles. High sauna humidity causes condensation to form on the skin limiting the body's natural ability to perspire and expel toxins and can promote premature aging

TheraSauna^TM uses an infrared radiant heat source similar to those used by doctors and physical therapists. The radiant heat process warms the body directly and not the air. TheraSauna operates at safer, more comfortable temperatures of 110º to 130º F. radiant heat penetrates deeply, to be absorbed by your body as much as 1½ below the skin for deep muscle therapy. Your body produces up to three times more perspiration than conventional saunas. This natural process rids your body of harmful toxins and may ultimately burn up to 300 calories during a 20-30 minute session.

Why TheraSauna is The Best

1. An infrared heater, such as the one used in the TheraSauna, employs infrared energy that penetrates body's tissues to a depth of over 1½ inches. Its energy output is tuned to correspond closely to the body's own radiant energy so that body tissues absorb close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach the skin.

   A conventional sauna, in comparison, must rely on an indirect means of heat to produce its heating effect on the body. An infrared heater heats only 20 percent of the air, leaving over 80% of the heat available to directly heat the body. Thus, an infrared heated sauna can warm its users to a greater depth and more efficiently than a conventional sauna.

   The TheraSauna heater's output creates penetrating heat and mildly warm air that only heats the skin superficially. The crucial difference between this and traditional saunas explains the many unprecedented benefits that come from its use that are not attainable in conventional saunas.

2. Another difference lies in the process of sweating. Infrared energy created in the TheraSauna may induce up to two to three times the volume of sweat produced in a traditional sauna while operating at significantly cooler temperatures (110-130ºF compared to 180-235ºF). The lower heat is safer for those concerned with cardiovascular risk factors that may be affected by high temperatures encountered in traditional saunas.
3. One issue for traditional sauna users has been breathing exceptionally hot air. It is distinctly more pleasant to breathe air that is between 50-125ºF. In an infrared sauna you breathe cooler air maintaining a feeling of warmth. As a result, infrared sauna users report a feeling of well being as an after effect.
4. Compared to traditional saunas, which require a closed atmosphere to maintain the levels of heat required for therapeutic results, the TheraSauna can be used with the door or window fully open if the only desired effect is infrared penetration. Those seeking only infrared penetration might be people who use the sauna fully clothed to warm up prior to stretching, working out, running, or exposure to cold weather.
5. One of the practical aspects of the TheraSauna is that it requires only 5 to 10 minutes to warm from room temperature compared to 30 to 90 minutes for traditional saunas on a regular basis. It also makes them more practical for use in clinics and resorts.
6. TheraSauna is the only infrared sauna made with non-toxic Sitka Wood. Sitka wood is used to make masts of ships, airplanes, guitars, and wooden utensils.
7. TheraSauna is the only infrared sauna with full 100% ceramic infrared emitters.
8. TheraSauna is the only infrared sauna whose thermostat does not completely shut off when the control setting reaches the desired temperature--instead, the controls reduce the wattage to the infrared heaters. This results in a much more consistent temperature for you to enjoy your sauna.
