Near Infrared Saunas

​
Mid Infrared Saunas
Mid infrared, as the name implies, is shorter than far but longer than near. It can penetrate into soft tissue, helping expand blood vessels and increasing circulation to injured areas of the body. Thus it is useful in treating inflammation in the body
​
Far Infrared Saunas
Far Infrared perhaps the most popular type. fIR is the longest wavelength of the three, and as such penetrates the deepest. It works on the cellular level, stimulating the sweat glands to release harmful toxins. It is this process that increases your heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.
