Saunas and steam rooms are rooms that many use for relaxation or to relieve some medical conditions like congestion or arthritis. Saunas provide dry heat in a wood-paneled room which provides dry heat. The temperature in an Infrared Sauna typically ranges from 110-140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Steam rooms, on the other hand provide moist heat from a water-filled generator pumping steam into the enclosed room. The temperature in a steam room typically ranges from 110-114 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity level of 100 percent.
Both the Infrared Sauna and the Steam rooms cause sweating. Sweating opens pores and can cleanse the skin. Both make you warmer, make you sweat and relax, lower your pulse and blood pressure by causing blood vessels to dilate, and remove salts from your system. Detoxification is one of the most important benefits of infrared heat. At 125 degrees the human body sweats two to three times more than in a traditional rock and steam sauna at 200 degrees. Getting rid of over 200 toxins, chemicals and metals found in the human body, Infrared sauna becomes an integral part of living a healthy life.
Infrared increases the transfer of oxygen to your bloodstream. Raising your internal body temperature, oxygen increases and heightens your immune system resulting in faster healthy healing. Raising body temperature also leads to sweat, and every half hour 600 to 900 calories are lost as well as cellulite removal.
