This model provides you with more far infrared heating capacity per square inch than any other infrared sauna available. Constructed from 100 percent non-out gassing, non-toxic solid spruce, this model is assembled with non-toxic, water-based glues.

Seven heaters - three ceramic in back, two in front, and two carbon heaters on the sides - emit 7 to 14 microns of infrared wavelength. Digital interior and exterior control panels warm the unit amazingly fast in just 5 to 10 minutes. An adjustable operating temperature of up to 140 degrees provides 300 percent to 500 percent more detoxifying sweat volume. Assembly is easy, taking less than an hour. Included is a CD player with AM-FM radio and speakers sure to add to the pleasure of a sauna session. The unit plugs into a normal 110-volt wall receptacle, meaning no electrical or plumbing installation is required.

Benefits:
Fitness experts and physicians are closely watching the emerging research that confirms the health effects of the infrared sauna. Many of them have identified it not only as a curative measure, but also as a significant tool to prevent illnesses from occurring in the first place. This reflects a positive type of pro-activity that we all need, if we want to take control of healthcare costs that are spiraling out of control. Let’s take a look at its specific applications:
- Increased metabolism protects your body in several ways. First, with dieting you eat less of everything, including protein, which can result in a lowered metabolism. You also lose water from your body, because protein holds water, and that creates a false sense of weight loss—because water loss is not true weight loss. As the infrared sauna raises your metabolism, it protects your body from burning protein and it maintains a healthy body fluid level. And the increased metabolism will, in fact, cause your body to burn more fats than proteins.
- A higher calorie burn works hand-in-hand with the increased metabolism. Infrared sauna therapy brings your body to the point where it will burn 600 calories in a 30-minute session, with a sustained calorie burn after your session ends. This means you will keep burning calories for hours.
- Improved heart rate and vascular circulation mean good things for the heart and sustained overall health. You can decrease your chances of a heart attack and boost your body’s ability to ward off complications from poor circulation, blood clots, and other vascular ailments.
- In fact, if you’ve already been diagnosed with a cardiac illness and your doctor has prohibited spas, ask him if you can use an infrared sauna. During the segment on the infrared sauna on Oprah, it was explained that its lower operating temperature might mean an opportunity for you to enjoy this invigorating therapy.
- Stress plays a factor in cardiac health as well, and this kind of therapy works wonders to reduce stress. Sauna therapy, first and foremost, enables intense relaxation levels. But it also cleanses the body of biochemical toxins that it needs to shed. As stress levels are reduced, energy levels are ratcheted upward.
- Detoxification: besides shedding stress, your body will rid itself of other impurities that will enhance the overall appearance of your skin, hair, and nails. You will slough off dead skin cells easily, and improved blood circulation to the skin will provide a beautiful and youthful glow. On the infrared sauna on Oprah segment, Dr. Oz explained more in detail how the detox process works.
- People who utilize the sauna uncover their natural inclination to make other healthy choices. They find they are drinking more water, which helps the body in many ways. They also gain the motivation to begin utilizing supplements that replenish their body’s basic levels and learn about better dietary choices. This is an overall way to reach and maintain optimal well-being.
- People who experience arthritis, neuromuscular problems, or joint disorders will find a relief from discomfort from sauna therapy. Its warmth will loosen up stiff tendons and get muscles moving. This is, like other benefits, sustained well after the sauna session ends, and if this is one of your concerns you will enjoy improved agility and a reprieve from daily aches.
The use of the infrared sauna is a safe, nontoxic, and natural way to maintain good health. Although this kind of technology has been around for at least a decade, it’s fortunate that Oprah has discovered it and featured it on her show. You can explore her experiences with far infrared sauna therapy on the internet if you missed seeing the infrared sauna on Oprah when it featured on her television show in March or June of 2009.
