With a far infrared sauna, a moderately fit person can sweat one pound of sweat in a 30 minute session, which is the equivalent of running 2-3 miles. While it is true that the weight of the water expelled in the sauna may be regained by re-hydrating with water – the calories lost will not, resulting in weight loss. 

Weight loss is just one of many benefits of regular use of Far Infrared Mat Saunas and if after experiencing FIR you would like your own mat, we have them for sale.

A 30 minute session of Far Infrared Sauna Therapy can release one pound of sweat which is the equivalent of running 2 - 3 miles.

Infrared Saunas have been around for years, but only recently have become popular in North America. The Japanese have been utilizing  Infrared Saunas for the past century and have enjoyed tremendous health benefits from them. 

 

Infrared Saunas are unlike conventional saunas which pull sweat out of the body. Far Infrared energy penetrates up to 3 inches into the body and PUSHES sweat out of the body. As the body is heated from the inside out, it forces toxins under the skin out. The temperature of a far infrared mat sauna is up to 70° Celsius (158° Fahrenheit) which is less than a typical sauna which goes up to 220F.   However, despite operating at a lower temperature, you will typically perspire far more in infrared saunas because the infrared energy penetrates your body at a much deeper level.  Fat becomes water soluble at 100F when it begins to dissolve, move through the blood and finally is removed from the body, resulting in weight loss. Toxins are also eliminated through your skin using lower, comfortable temperatures, for rapid detoxification.
