The sun's radiation reaches the earth surfaces, having passed through the ozone layer. About 30% of this radiation is mainly infrared radiation. Plants utilize the sun's radiation in carrying out photosynthesis, which enables them to produce. Without the productivity of these plants, life would cease on earth because of our dependence on them. However, with the recent developments in technology involving the saunas, infrared radiation can be utilized in generating heat for sauna therapy. These inventions are recent, compared to the traditional saunas and they are referred to as modern saunas. Taking a sauna session in an infrared sauna is magical. The infrared radiation hits the cells, the mitochondria or powerhouse is triggered, and a significant amount of energy is released in the individual’s body.

The infrared saunas are powered using electricity. They can be installed as home saunas, garden saunas, or in public. Interestingly, the infrared sauna tends to make optimum use of the infrared radiation because most of them are built with reflective surface material. This reflects or recycles the radiation back to the body of the user. With this reflective surface, the user can decide to remain in a fixed position during the therapy session. The radiation is released in the sauna with the aid of a bulb.

Some people have a school of thought that infrared sauna therapy has no difference when compared to walking or taking a sunbath because they both make you sweat. Sweats are produced in both scenario, however, with the infrared sauna the sweating is doubled, and more toxic substance is removed from the body compared to taking a sunbath and also during the winter it is impossible to carry out a sunbath. With science, facts, and information available, an infrared therapy session has the advantage over the sunbath.

Individuals making use of the infrared saunas, either as a home sauna or a public sauna for relaxation purposes or health purposes, are allowed to sit about 18-24 inches away from the bulb avoiding much exposure from the light. Heating of the tent before using should be avoided because the infrared sauna is powered using electricity and the stove which generates heat is a continuous heat type which heats up fast. In buying a home sauna especially that of the infrared, glasses are given to individuals to protect their eyes from being exposed to the radiation. When the skin feels sensitive to the radiation as a result of sitting in one position, it is advised to rotate in the sauna. Interested in buying infrared saunas for home? Visit poshh.co.uk.

The infrared saunas are available in portable forms which could easily be moved and of varying sizes.
