WHAT ARE INFRARED RAYS?

Infrared is the band of light we perceive as heat. We cannot see this band of light with the naked eye, but we
can feel this type of light in the form of heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared
segment of the spectrum. Infrared rays heat your body without having to heat the air in-between. This process
is called conversion.

The infrared is divided into 3 segments by wavelengths measured in microns: near infrared: 0.76-1.5
microns; middle infrared: 1.5-5.6 microns; and far infrared: 5.6-1000 microns. Among these segments, only
far infrared penetrates organic substances such as the human body two to three inches so that the
warming effect is very uniform.

ARE INFRARED RAYS SAFE?

Gamma Rays

Because infrared rays are part of sunlight, they are not only safe but also highly beneficial to our bodies on a
cellular level. Health professionals have used infrared heat lamps for decades to treat muscle and joint

problems. In hospital baby care units, incubators are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep
newborn babies warm.

HOW IT WORKS

Infrared Saunas differ from traditional saunas in that they use infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate into
the body's tissue to produce perspiration.

Traditional saunas use steam to heat the air inside the sauna, which then heats your body until you begin to
perspire. In order for this to be effective, temperatures would need to reach in the upwards of 190 degrees
Fahrenheit. Infrared saunas only need a temperature of up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to obtain the same

effect. This lower temperature makes the environment more tolerable and allows you to breathe easier.

BENEFITS

Because infrared rays penetrate the body through conversion, there is a deep heating effect in both the muscle
tissues and internal organs without putting too much burden on the heart.

Our body reacts to the increased heating through the natural cooling process of perspiring. Through the
perspiration process, acid and waste residue like toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and the
potentially carcinogenic heavy metals are removed from the cells (especially zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium,
etc). The pores of our skin open and discharge waste products shedding any old skin cells leaving the skin
glowing and clean, with improved tone, elasticity, texture, and color.

Over the last 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have completed extensive research
on infrared treatments and have reported many provocative findings. In Japan, there is an "infrared society"
composed of medical doctors and physical therapists dedicated to furthering infrared research. Their findings
support the health benefits of infrared therapy as a method of healing.

SAUNA MAINTENANCE
Since infrared saunas do not require hot rocks, water, or steam to operate, they require very little

maintenance. You can simply wipe it down with water and a soft clean cloth. Do not use any cleaning

chemicals as they can be absorbed into the wood and be released into your sauna during use.

DISCLAIMER

The infrared rays emitted by your sauna are reported to offer a wide range of possible therapeutic benefits
based on research completed over the last 25 years from all around the world. These benefits are presented
for reference purposes only and no implication of infrared saunas creating a cure for or treating any disease is
implied nor should it be inferred. If you have a health condition, are taking prescription drugs, or have acute
joint injuries, please consult your physician before starting infrared therapy. Persons with surgical implants
(metal pins and rods, artificial joints, silicone, or other types of surgical implants) typically do not experience
any adverse effects, but should also consult their physician or surgeon before starting infrared therapy.

CAUTION: Exit sauna immediately if you feel dizzy,
sleepy, or any discomfort.
