Traditional Steam Saunas VS Infrared Saunas

The most commonly used temperature setting is between 118 degrees Fahrenheit / 48 degrees Celsius and 122 degrees Fahrenheit / 50 degrees Celsius. The way the sauna room works is when you set the Control Panel to say 120 degrees F / 49 degrees C, the heat emitters will turn off when that set temperature is reached. And even though the sauna does allow the user to set the Control Panel to 151 degrees F/66 degrees C, this is specifically for those users who do not want the heat emitters to ever turn off as the sauna room will never achieve 151 degrees F / 66 degrees C.

Infrared Saunas warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. Far Infrared Heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally. Traditional saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. Far infrared saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, far infrared saunas heat the body directly. The result is deeper tissue penetration. In the far infrared sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits and avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna.

Steam heat the air, IR penetrates the pores and heats the body. IR is proven as far more effective as far as healthy outcomes are concerned.
