Wellness
solutions don’t get much more popular than an acclaimed infrared
sauna. Infrared
(IR) saunas are being praised by best-selling authors, CEOs, professional
athletes and prominent national medical professionals for their many benefits.
From cardiovascular health to weight loss, deep relaxation and overall
rejuvenation, it’s certainly no surprise that so many people are interested in
owning an infrared sauna for their home. If you’re looking for a sauna of your
own, here are three features to keep in mind.
1. InfraredSauna Heating
Technology
There are three infrared wavelengths that can provide optimal health benefits:
near, mid and far wavelengths. Each of these wavelengths plays a specific role
in a comprehensive restorative process. Near infrared contributes to skin
renewal and tissue health, while mid infrared penetrates soft tissue to help manage
inflammation. Far infrared reaches deepest, where environmental toxins are
stored, helping to raise your core body temperature and stimulating sweat
glands for a detoxifying experience. The human body absorbs these waves best at
specific wavelengths. You want a sauna with technology that is efficient and
effective.
2. Technology to
Enhance Your Experience
By harnessing the benefits of infrared heating technology, you can enjoy a
series of specific fine-tuned wellness programs. Still, those programs will
require a certain level of technology so you can use them. Features like a
smart control panel with Wi-Fi connectivity can allow you to easily experience
the programs you plan to follow. Innovative technology found in the best saunas
can also be used to incorporate sound options, like music or Acoustic Resonance
Therapy (ART), and visual options like chromotherapy LED mood lighting to add a
certain ambiance to your sauna sessions. If you opt for a premium infrared personal sauna, insist on a model incorporating a
Bamboo Carbon or Celliant—the gold standard for personal saunas—to enjoy the
most infrared technology possible. With the right technology, an infrared sauna
becomes a dynamic, adaptable wellness tool.
3. Custom Wood Options
When choosing an infrared sauna, look for a provider that allows you to select
the type of wood you want for your sauna. Most sauna companies might carry only
two options, cedar and basswood. Instead, choose a company that offers you the
choice of eucalyptus as well, as each wood has distinct benefits.
· Basswood: A perfect choice for commercial use and for those sensitive to
fragrances or other irritants. This smooth, hypoallergenic hardwood is durable
enough to minimize warping or bending from temperature changes.
· Cedar: Among the most popular choices for saunas. Cedar is moisture-resistant
and won’t expand or contract with temperature fluctuations. It is also a
beautiful wood, favored by those who enjoy its fresh, natural aroma.
· Eucalyptus: A premium hardwood option, similar to teak. Due to its strength,
durability and natural fragrance-free oils, it is an ideal choice for both
outdoor and indoor infrared saunas.
