]]>One of the most powerful benefits of an infrared sauna is detoxification. But what is this process of detoxing talked about by so many websites? To clarify the terms, these substances fall into two main categories. They are internal poisons and external poisons.
But what exactly are toxins? A clinical definition is any poison type substance that enters the body or is a result of our body’s metabolic activity. Basically this is anything that is harmful to our bodies. It sounds vague and inclusive of many things and that is a result of all the different types of toxins.
It does help to understand a bit more about the types and causes as this helps in understanding how to remove them.
There are a few good ways to remove them from our bodies. Far Infrared is one the best and easiest way to accomplish this. The following is advice from Clearlight Sauna, one of our top recommended brands and an industry leader:
Sweating is a natural process for the elimination of toxins in the body. While we can’t avoid all harmful toxins out there, we can encourage the removal of toxins from our systems through our skin – and sweating is a great way to do it! Using an infrared sauna on a regular basis can help to remove heavy metals and toxins quite quickly.
Research shows that far-infrared saunas work better than traditional saunas because they deliver deep infrared energy into the body. Infrared sauna detoxification helps remove toxins more effectively than traditional steam saunas.
IR units are also generally more comfortable to use than steam-based saunas, so you may be more likely to actually detox your system as often as possible. What are Toxins and How Can You Get Rid of Them? | Clearlight Infrared® Saunas Blog
It is generally recommended to start out slowly, with 10-15 minute sessions twice a week. Then gradually increase the amount of time of each session. Detoxification is more productive with at least 3 sessions per week and at least 25 minutes at at time.
An ultimate goal would be 30 minutes at least 5 times per week. When you can comfortably handle this, you will be dramatically improving your overall health and helping your internal processes perform their normal cleansing activities.
Internal poisons are part of our everyday lives and are produced as a normal part of daily activities. Our body will constantly repair and replace worn out cells. This is a normal part of our body’s energy production.
However, this also produces internal waste materials that can poison us from the inside. So these simply need to be broken down and eliminated. The problem arises when we do not properly break these down or fully eliminate them. When we have what is referred to as toxic overload, these actually can be stored up in the body.
Especially today as we over stress ourselves and are faced with an ever increasing amount of external poisons, we can have significant build up. All of this build up can sometimes harm surrounding tissues.
We simply need a way to properly detox so that our systems function smoothly and fully. The following article describes this internal type:
Organic chemist Ludwig Brieger defined a toxin as a poisonous substance produced within living cells or organisms. This excluded manufactured substances (chemical) created by artificial processes.
Simply put, metabolic toxins are toxic waste byproducts produced throughout every metabolic pathway in the mind and body that must be eliminated from the body.
Think of it using this analogy. Gasoline is the fuel (food) for your car’s engine (mind and body) and the exhaust (metabolic toxins) is the toxins produced by the natural processes occurring during internal combustion of your car’s engine. Metabolic Toxins | Metabolism | Nutrition | Hair Analysis
The above article excluded chemical substances that are manufactured and enter the body from the outside. These are known as external poisons. These would include substances that are ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
One main culprit is glyphosate, also known as RoundUp. This weed killer is used pervasively in large scale farming and in local neighbor yards. Over 9 million Tons have been sprayed on yards and fields worldwide. Glyphosate has been shown in research to be an endocrine disruptor. This means that it greatly interferes with the production and functioning of hormones. This alone is a great reason to detox.
BPA is another toxic substance which is used in plastic bottles and the lining of cans. Unfortunately, nearly half of all food producers still use this although it has been proven to poison the body.
Global Healing Center talks about the pervasiveness of these contaminants:
Toxins are any substance that can be poisonous or cause negative health effects.
“Toxin” is a very broad term and it’s even, unfortunately, become a bit of a buzzword to some. Artificially created chemicals can be toxins, but naturally occurring substances can be toxic, too. Arsenic is a natural toxin. Technically, so is cobra venom (though you’re less likely to find this contaminating your town’s water supply).
There is no practical way to protect yourself from all the toxins in the environment. You would have to live the rest of your life in a hermetically sealed suit (and it would be a short life since you couldn’t eat or drink.) Fortunately, there are ways to counteract some toxins and pollutants. Your body’s natural detoxification processes exist to deal with the ones we can’t avoid. You can help your body perform these processes with the help of regular cleansing. Body Cleanse: 6 Ways to Do a Body Detox
As we can see from even the above article, we are bombarded with poisons in many forms on a daily basis. Choosing to eat organic foods and avoid ingesting synthetically manufactured substances are terrific initial steps in helping the body deal with cleansing on its own.
But we also have decades of exposure to foreign substances which accumulate in our bodies. These need a direct approach to remove.
Infrared saunas are one of the top methods of removing these from our bodies. However, remember that not all saunas provide infrared that will deeply penetrate and release the contaminants from your cells. Many lower priced units actually provide little benefit.
Before selecting a sauna, we encourage you to read our individual brand reviews. These will help you choose one that has been proven to positively detoxify the user.

]]>Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) has become an issue of concern lately for infrared sauna users. Extremely low frequency radiation falls at the far lower end of the electrical spectrum. These are electrical fields which measure from 0 to 100,000 Hz.
One sauna company has been at the forefront in testing and shielding sauna users from ELF.
For now, it appears that Clearlight is the first company that has directly addressed this murky area of infrared. This company has been an innovator in infrared technology numerous times during the past 20 years. Again they appear to be the first to directly protect users from extremely low frequency as they state on their website:
Clearlight Infrared Saunas are the only ONLY infrared sauna that cancels out both EMF and ELF.
The ELF levels in your Clearlight Sauna are 5 x below the threshold of concern. All of our competitors are over 20 times above the threshold of concern. Why are low EMF and low ELF Infrared Saunas important? | Clearlight Infrared Saunas
Clearlight Saunas have attempted to address the potential issue using two methods.
They run all electrical wiring through metal conduit piping, which shields the wiring. They also twist the wires which they state reduces the exposure even further.
To our knowledge, this is the only brand to address Electric Fields in this manner.
The concern about excessive exposure to Electromagnetic Fields, called EMFs, were first raised almost 40 years ago. At that time research showed a connection between exposure to EMF and certain types of serious health conditions including childhood leukemia. Since that time there has been increased awareness regarding the safety of electromagnetic fields.
Recently, more concern has been directed specifically at ELF. This is often simply referred to as Electric Fields. Power lines are the most common culprit which radiate an electric field. However, any electrical appliance will radiate some level of Electric Fields. While we cannot completely eliminate all exposure, our goal should be to minimize direct exposure where possible.
The sunlighten.com.au website has this to say about this topic:
The International Electromagnetic Fields Project was established by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1996 to investigate the true health risks of exposure to EMF.
Appliances such as FIR saunas come under the category of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) electric fields, measured as 0 to 100,000 Hz (100 kHz). Most electric power lines run at 50 or 60 Hz , which presents a risk ratio (RR) of 1.5-2 (tobacco smoking had a RR of more than 10).
One piece of research suggested radiant heating appliances such as FIR saunas would also emit frequency levels of around 50-60 Hz. http://www.sunlighten.com.au/ Are Saunas Good for You?
We know that use of infrared for healing can dramatically improve overall health and that all infrared devices will result in some degree of exposure to electric fields. So the key is to keep the amount at a safe level.
What is the safe level for normal activity? In their post Exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields induces fos-related antigen-immunoreactivity via activation of dopaminergic d1 receptor, PubMed suggests it to be 1000Mv.
The American Cancer Society provides additional examples and information on the risks:
Power Lines, Electrical Devices, and Extremely Low Frequency Radiation
Examples of high-energy radiation include x-rays and gamma rays. They, as well as some higher energy UV radiation, are called ionizing radiation, which means they have enough energy to remove an electron from (ionize) an atom or molecule. This can damage the DNA inside of cells, which can result in cancer.
Extremely low frequency (ELF) radiation is at the low-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum and is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove charged particles such as electrons (ionize) and directly damage DNA.
ELF radiation has even lower energy than other types of non-ionizing radiation like radiofrequency radiation, visible light, and infrared. Power Lines, Electrical Devices, and Extremely Low Frequency Radiation
It appears that less is known about ELF than EMF. What is important is that levels above 1000 Mv can potentially be harmful and should be avoided when possible. As previously mentioned, we are pleased to see at least one company aggressively addressing this area of concern.
Clearlight's site additionally has this to say about testing levels and the tested level of their units:
The effect of the electric field strength on a person’s body is defined as body voltage strength and is expressed in millivolts (mV). Out in nature, far away from electrical sources, the human body’s natural body voltage is near 0mV. It has been found that when this body voltage rises, in sensitive individuals it can cause disturbed sleep, irritating sensations and other ailments.
The Threshold Of Concern level for ELF is 1,000 mV. When testing Clearlight Saunas with our low ELF technology, users test as low as 200 mV –five times below the threshold of concern. When testing our competitors saunas, their ELF levels exceed 20,000 mV – twenty times above the threshold of concern.
Each individual’s levels will vary as some people are more conductive due to the makeup of their body (higher salt levels, for example). Why are low EMF and low ELF Infrared Saunas important? | Clearlight Infrared Saunas
We are bombarded by all forms of currents on a daily basis from appliances. It is our opinion at Healing Heat Therapy that while addressing these in regards to infrared use is critical, it is not necessary to reduce all exposure to zero. The important issue is to address them in a significant manner and to substantially reduce the levels of exposures.
Once that is accomplished, as consumers we should move ahead with the purchase of a sauna and use it regularly. Being anxious about what little levels remain likely does much more harm to the body through stress than any exposure that remains.
We are glad to have witnessed many companies addressing these related issues during the past decade and look forward to seeing more address the issue of ELF as well.

]]>Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) has become an issue of concern lately for infrared sauna users. Extremely low frequency radiation falls at the far lower end of the electrical spectrum. These are electrical fields which measure from 0 to 100,000 Hz.
One sauna company has been at the forefront in testing and shielding sauna users from ELF.
For now, it appears that Clearlight is the first company that has directly addressed this murky area of infrared. This company has been an innovator in infrared technology numerous times during the past 20 years. Again they appear to be the first to directly protect users from extremely low frequency as they state on their website:
Clearlight Infrared Saunas are the only ONLY infrared sauna that cancels out both EMF and ELF.
The ELF levels in your Clearlight Sauna are 5 x below the threshold of concern. All of our competitors are over 20 times above the threshold of concern. Why are low EMF and low ELF Infrared Saunas important? | Clearlight Infrared Saunas
Clearlight Saunas have attempted to address the potential issue using two methods.
They run all electrical wiring through metal conduit piping, which shields the wiring. They also twist the wires which they state reduces the exposure even further.
To our knowledge, this is the only brand to address Electric Fields in this manner.
The concern about excessive exposure to Electromagnetic Fields, called EMFs, were first raised almost 40 years ago. At that time research showed a connection between exposure to EMF and certain types of serious health conditions including childhood leukemia. Since that time there has been increased awareness regarding the safety of electromagnetic fields.
Recently, more concern has been directed specifically at ELF. This is often simply referred to as Electric Fields. Power lines are the most common culprit which radiate an electric field. However, any electrical appliance will radiate some level of Electric Fields. While we cannot completely eliminate all exposure, our goal should be to minimize direct exposure where possible.
The sunlighten.com.au website has this to say about this topic:
The International Electromagnetic Fields Project was established by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1996 to investigate the true health risks of exposure to EMF.

Color therapy or chromotherapy is one of the most ancient healing therapies that have been used in several parts of the world. When used right, it can help harness the energy of the sunlight to boost natural healing ability of the body, not only to cure diseases but also prevent them. How Color Therapy or Chromotherapy Can Heal Your Body
Chromotherapy, or Color Light Therapy, is the use of colored lights to stimulate the senses, the body, and the mind. The spectrum of color usage is endless, with its ability to elevate moods, produce soothing mindsets, stimulate cell regeneration, and help in healing.The same page on their site shares some aspects about White light. We find it particularly interesting that it says white light can increase Vitamin D levels. Vitamin D (which is actually a hormone, not a vitamin) is crucial for many bodily functions and hormone production.
When used with our far infrared sauna mates and their healing benefits, nurture from nature is a light switch away. Chromotherapy - Health Mate Sauna
It uses the three primary colors (Red, Green, & Blue), making it easy to receive the benefits from all the colors used for color therapy. Research has shown that white light can even increase vitamin D levels. Chromotherapy - Health Mate Sauna

We have written about Chromo therapy previously. Mainly focused on its benefits and how it is becoming more popular as an option in infrared saunas. This article highlights a little more of the individual benefits the various colors provide.
As far back as 1987, in a book which became a best seller entitled Color Me Beautiful, author Carol Jackson wrote about how various colored clothing would highlight a person’s eyes. Different people had different palates of clothing which could create various images for the same person.
She also wrote about chromotherapy and how it could enhance a person’s mind and body. Even confidence could be influenced by choosing certain shades of clothing.
Now, decades later, more sauna companies are adding this feature as standard. Some such as Clearlight offer medical grade levels of the feature.
According to the following website, the effects have earned more notoriety and evidence:

How Color Therapy or Chromotherapy Can Heal Your Body
Red is one of the brighter hues and can increase energy and create excitement. It invigorates a person and energizes the body's organs. When used alongside infrared, it can help promote faster healing. Collagen cells and the skin itself are improved.
Orange is similar to red in that it can stimulate thinking and uplifts the emotions. Energy levels are increased and a person's overall mood can be greatly enhanced.
Yellow is thought to be more of a spiritual nature, providing a better outlook. Most people are more lighthearted and feel more optimistic around yellow.
Green is a universally calming and healing hue. Many who suffer from SAD (winter blues due to lower light levels) often find some relief from green. It can have the effect of offering sharper thinking and clarity. It is suggested that green will program the body to respond by increasing whatever healing is already taking place.
Blue is also known to relive depression. It can calm inflammation, headaches and blood pressure. It also has an antibacterial effect on the skin. Many medical offices have images of blue skies and white clouds as the combination is very calming and relaxing.
Purple has been shown to often help a person deal with existing pain. It has been shown to help those suffering form fibromyalgia. Even white blood cells are energized by the purple spectrum of light. It is very soothing.
Healthmate Saunas, one of our top rated companies, has a brief but helpful page on this topic. It is a fun, interactive page where hovering over the various icons will change the color of the sauna image, revealing how yours will look as the feature rotates among the various hues.

We obtain Vitamin D3 when sunlight directly impacts our skin. During winter months or when the sun is below 45 degrees, we do not create Vitamin D3 from sunlight.
While we may not think of White light being anything unique or special, when used in light therapy, it can have significant benefits. It is interesting to note what Healthmate states that white light is the most common in LED therapy:
It uses the three primary colors (Red, Green, & Blue), making it easy to receive the benefits from all the colors used for color therapy. Research has shown that white light can even increase vitamin D levels. Chromotherapy - Health Mate Sauna

]]>Aromatherapy has become more popular with infrared sauna users and some brands now add methods to diffuse these aromas to their sauna product offerings. Here is a brief look at some of the more popular essential oils.
Lemon, like orange and all citrus, is invigorating, refreshing and uplifting. It is loved for its clean, powerful scent. Lemon helps with congestion, lack of energy and helps with concentration. A few drops as an air freshener or in a diffuser can fill an entire room with its mood-lifting aroma. This is often the first used in a sauna.
Lavender is one of the most popular aromas and for good reasons. It is well proven as a stress reliever and relaxation aid. Lavender is often used for back massages for the same reasons. It is also used for aiding depression, inflammation and as a mild deodorant. It is a mild pleasant aroma that you will enjoy.
In contrast to the mild relaxation properties of Lavender, Rosemary is strong and robust. It is more invigorating and energizing. However, caution needs to be used with rosemary. It should not be used by pregnant women or anyone taking homeopathic medicines or suffering from hypertension or epilepsy. Despite these cautions, it is one of the top 5 used in aromatherapy.
We are very familiar with the many uses of peppermint. From candies and toothpastes to Christmas treats, this is a flavor and scent that is universally enjoyed. Its popularity for use in in sauna aromatherapy is primarily due to its ability to refresh the body and open the sinuses. But caution is needed when using this as the following article points out:
All you need is a whiff of peppermint to put the pep back in your step. Peppermint has a cooling, refreshing effect and is widely used to enhance mental alertness. Peppermint is a perennial herb that boasts natural energy-boosting properties.
Aromatherapy Uses: Peppermint oil has a number of therapeutic properties. It is a cooling agent that enhances mood, sharpens focus, combats irritation and redness, alleviates symptoms of congestion, and aids in digestion.
Caution: Although non-toxic, the menthol component in Peppermint can bother some individuals. It is also a skin irritant and should be kept away from the eyes. Keep away from small children and do not use while pregnant. Aromatherapy - The Balance & Harmony of Body and Mind
This is a powerful essential extract, often used as a disinfectant on minor cuts. It is often used topically after surgery to minimize scarring. It has a powerful smell and one drop goes a very long way.
It can be used to treat fungus, infections, insect bites and even as an insect deterrent.
While this can be used for aromatherapy, caution should be taken as mentioned here:
Tea tree oil, made from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, has a fresh, camphor-like scent. Health experts refer to this essential oil as a ‘medicine cabinet in a bottle’, due to its antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, expectorant, insecticide and stimulant properties.
Note: Never take tea tree oil internally, which can cause side effects including confusion, hallucinations, drowsiness, unsteadiness, severe rashes, vomiting, diarrhea and general weakness. This essential oil is not suitable for small babies or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. 10 Most Popular Essential Oils and Their Health Benefits | Top 10 Home Remedies
This is a refreshing, mild and sweet aroma. It has been widely used in vapor rubs, creams and even mouthwashes. It has also become quite popular for use in aromatherapy.
Eucalyptus can aid in boosting the immune system and has anti- inflammatory, decongestant, antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It can be applied topically as well as used in a diffuser. The inhaled aroma can aid in muscle ache relief, sinus infections and in some cases helps with asthma. It is often used in a spray bottle to clean kitchen and bathroom, or added to a pot of boiling water for a refreshing steam.
While used frequently in steam saunas, it has become more popular for use in infrared saunas as well. Perhaps the most popular brand of infrared saunas, Sunlighten Sauna, uses Eucalyptus Wood in as an optional wood in its mPulse model.
Sunlighten has this to say about the use of this mildly fragrant wood:
Sauna Wood - Sunlighten
Eucalyptus is a strong, durable wood that historically has been used for cabinetry and floor work for many years.
It is a premium wood, similar to teak, which is great for surviving the outdoor elements – if you want to place your sauna outside, this is the best option. It withstands dramatic temperature changes to keep from bending and warping over time.
Eucalyptus is a green product, that grows quickly which is why it is cheaper than teak. The wood is consistent in color which makes it easy to stain, holding a beautiful color that can match any room theme. There is no fragrance in our eucalyptus wood. Sauna Wood - Sunlighten
Other choices rounding out the most popular aromatherapy options include oregano, sandalwood and chamomile.
Start with lemon or peppermint and you may be surprised how much this adds to your beneficial infrared therapy.

]]>Aromatherapy has become more popular with infrared sauna users and some brands now add methods to diffuse these aromas to their sauna product offerings. Here is a brief look at some of the more popular essential oils.
Lemon, like orange and all citrus, is invigorating, refreshing and uplifting. It is loved for its clean, powerful scent. Lemon helps with congestion, lack of energy and helps with concentration. A few drops as an air freshener or in a diffuser can fill an entire room with its mood-lifting aroma. This is often the first used in a sauna.
Lavender is one of the most popular aromas and for good reasons. It is well proven as a stress reliever and relaxation aid. Lavender is often used for back massages for the same reasons. It is also used for aiding depression, inflammation and as a mild deodorant. It is a mild pleasant aroma that you will enjoy.
In contrast to the mild relaxation properties of Lavender, Rosemary is strong and robust. It is more invigorating and energizing. However, caution needs to be used with rosemary. It should not be used by pregnant women or anyone taking homeopathic medicines or suffering from hypertension or epilepsy. Despite these cautions, it is one of the top 5 used in aromatherapy.

]]>An ideal temperature is between 110-130 degrees. However, it depends on what you want to accomplish. In an infrared sauna, you will have a better detoxification at lower temperatures and you will sweat more at higher settings.
Remember that infrared is what heals, not sweating. What is important is getting as much infrared as possible.
You want the heating elements to be on and delivering infrared the entire time, regardless of the temperature setting. So ideally you want to set the temperature at a higher level around 140. Then you can enter the sauna when it reaches 110 or 115.
Although you will begin sweating a bit sooner if you wait until the temperature is higher, you will lose out on infrared.
If your unit has a ceiling vent, keep it open. When the temperature approaches 130 degrees, you can open the door to allow cooler fresh air to enter. When the air temp drop below 115, simply close the door. This will provide you a way to control the temperature and keep the heaters on the entire time.
This practice is what we do at our home and is one way to ensure the heaters remain on the entire time, delivering the healing infrared.
Sweat fulfills two primary functions. It cools the body and it removes waste products out of the body. This is accomplished through two main types of sweat glands.
The Apocrine glands, which are located in areas such as the armpits and scalp, secrete sweat which contains higher levels of fats and organic compounds. The second group called Eccrine glands number more than 2 million and are scattered over the entire body, handling most of the sweating process.
These Eccrine glands, over the course of a normal day pump out nearly a quart of sweat. However, in a steam environment of 180 degrees or more, they produce this amount in only 15 minutes. While this cleans the pores and skin, it is also excretes higher amounts of electrolytes. Sweating at these 180+ degree levels requires replacing the lost fluids and electrolytes.
However, using an infrared sauna at the lower temperatures of 110-125 degrees results in a sticker, more fat-laden sweat and less electrolyte loss. In fact the sweat from an infrared sauna session is comprised of up to 20% toxins compared to only 3% toxins in the sweat produced in a high temp steam unit. This is a main reason it is the better choice for detox purposes.
Some users report beginning the session at a low 110-125 degrees for the first 20 minutes and then raising the desired temperature to around 135 to produce a more profuse sweat for the final 10 minutes.
Our bodies operate at a frequency of 9.4 microns. The closer the infrared is to this 9.4 microns, the better the absorption of the rays and the deeper the penetration. This also results in more toxins being shaken off the fat cells.
This is called resonance frequency. We know that certain sound waves can vibrate glass and a singer’s voice can even break glass. In a similar fashion, the closer the microns are to the ideal 9.4, the better the cellular resonance frequency.
Clearlight was one of the first companies to pioneer lower temperature carbon panels that are also powerful in the amount of emissivity and healing they provide. This is one reason they only require heating elements halfway up the sides of the interior walls.
Cheaper brands need panels all the way to the ceiling to produce adequate amounts of emitted heat.
Heavenly Heat is one brand that offers this excellent feature in their products. The user has the ability to turn on and off the two elements nearest them. This allows for better control of both body and cabin temperature.
Heavenly Heat is also one of only two brands that have cabin air flow. This not only circulates fresh air in, but the circulated air is also moved along the backside of the heaters. This helps to keep them operating cooler than they otherwise would. The vented air is also filtered out through a carbon filter. This is the only company with this feature.
These are a few reasons why that brand is an exceptional choice. It is also the best choice a person should consider for a chemically sensitive person. Their products are hand-made in the USA and are ultra pure and clean. They are unrivaled in this regard. Please read our complete Heavenly Heat Saunas review.
The Heavenly Heat website shares this information:
It is proportional – the greater the FIR exposure, the lower the required air temperature.
With Heavenly Heat, the infrared level is very high so the air temperature can be very mild. This is an important quality of good FIR saunas. With weak FIR heaters, like the plastic carbon types, the air temperature must be raised to higher levels to be effective, defeating a main reason for using infrared heaters in the first place. Heavenly Heat Saunas | Infrared Sauna Heaters
Those are very good insights.
Set the control panel to at least 130 degrees. A setting above 140 is even better. Enter the sauna when it is between 100-115 degrees. Open the ceiling vent. Once the inside temperature reaches 130-135, prior to the heaters cycling off and on, reduce the air temp by opening the door. This practice will provide the most healing and detox for you.

]]>An ideal temperature is between 110-130 degrees. However, it depends on what you want to accomplish. In an infrared sauna, you will have a better detoxification at lower temperatures and you will sweat more at higher settings.
Remember that infrared is what heals, not sweating. What is important is getting as much infrared as possible.
You want the heating elements to be on and delivering infrared the entire time, regardless of the temperature setting. So ideally you want to set the temperature at a higher level around 140. Then you can enter the sauna when it reaches 110 or 115.
Although you will begin sweating a bit sooner if you wait until the temperature is higher, you will lose out on infrared.
If your unit has a ceiling vent, keep it open. When the temperature approaches 130 degrees, you can open the door to allow cooler fresh air to enter. When the air temp drop below 115, simply close the door. This will provide you a way to control the temperature and keep the heaters on the entire time.
This practice is what we do at our home and is one way to ensure the heaters remain on the entire time, delivering the healing infrared.
Sweat fulfills two primary functions. It cools the body and it removes waste products out of the body. This is accomplished through two main types of sweat glands.
The Apocrine glands, which are located in areas such as the armpits and scalp, secrete sweat which contains higher levels of fats and organic compounds. The second group called Eccrine glands number more than 2 million and are scattered over the entire body, handling most of the sweating process.
These Eccrine glands, over the course of a normal day pump out nearly a quart of sweat. However, in a steam environment of 180 degrees or more, they produce this amount in only 15 minutes. While this cleans the pores and skin, it is also excretes higher amounts of electrolytes. Sweating at these 180+ degree levels requires replacing the lost fluids and electrolytes.
However, using an infrared sauna at the lower temperatures of 110-125 degrees results in a sticker, more fat-laden sweat and less electrolyte loss. In fact the sweat from an infrared sauna session is comprised of up to 20% toxins compared to only 3% toxins in the sweat produced in a high temp steam unit. This is a main reason it is the better choice for detox purposes.
Some users report beginning the session at a low 110-125 degrees for the first 20 minutes and then raising the desired temperature to around 135 to produce a more profuse sweat for the final 10 minutes.
Our bodies operate at a frequency of 9.4 microns. The closer the infrared is to this 9.4 microns, the better the absorption of the rays and the deeper the penetration. This also results in more toxins being shaken off the fat cells.
This is called resonance frequency. We know that certain sound waves can vibrate glass and a singer’s voice can even break glass. In a similar fashion, the closer the microns are to the ideal 9.4, the better the cellular resonance frequency.
Clearlight was one of the first companies to pioneer lower temperature carbon panels that are also powerful in the amount of emissivity and healing they provide. This is one reason they only require heating elements halfway up the sides of the interior walls.
Cheaper brands need panels all the way to the ceiling to produce adequate amounts of emitted heat.
Heavenly Heat is one brand that offers this excellent feature in their products. The user has the ability to turn on and off the two elements nearest them. This allows for better control of both body and cabin temperature.
Heavenly Heat is also one of only two brands that have cabin air flow. This not only circulates fresh air in, but the circulated air is also moved along the backside of the heaters. This helps to keep them operating cooler than they otherwise would. The vented air is also filtered out through a carbon filter. This is the only company with this feature.
These are a few reasons why that brand is an exceptional choice. It is also the best choice a person should consider for a chemically sensitive person. Their products are hand-made in the USA and are ultra pure and clean. They are unrivaled in this regard. Please read our complete Heavenly Heat Saunas review.
The Heavenly Heat website shares this information:
It is proportional – the greater the FIR exposure, the lower the required air temperature.
With Heavenly Heat, the infrared level is very high so the air temperature can be very mild. This is an important quality of good FIR saunas. With weak FIR heaters, like the plastic carbon types, the air temperature must be raised to higher levels to be effective, defeating a main reason for using infrared heaters in the first place. Heavenly Heat Saunas | Infrared Sauna Heaters
Those are very good insights.
Set the control panel to at least 130 degrees. A setting above 140 is even better. Enter the sauna when it is between 100-115 degrees. Open the ceiling vent. Once the inside temperature reaches 130-135, prior to the heaters cycling off and on, reduce the air temp by opening the door. This practice will provide the most healing and detox for you.

]]>We all know the powerful refreshing smell of the citrus oils when we peel an orange or lemon. That aroma alone can often bring a smile to our face or a boost to our emotions. But is there more to this than just a pleasing smell? Yes, there really is.
Aromatherapy is sometimes called Essential Oils Therapy. It is the practice of using concentrated extracts from plants and other natural sources to relieve negative feelings such as depression or anxiety and to prompt the body to begin its own healing processes.
The use of a sauna can be a tremendously relaxing experience providing deep healing. So it would make sense to combine these two forms of healing. Before beginning of this addition to your sauna regimine, we first consider these basic but powerful statements from an authority on the subject:
Aromatherapy is the practice of using the natural oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots or other parts of a plant to enhance psychological and physical well-being.
The inhaled aroma from these "essential" oils is widely believed to stimulate brain function. Essential oils can also be absorbed through the skin, where they travel through the bloodstream and can promote whole-body healing. Aromatherapy - The Balance & Harmony of Body and Mind
The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy, called naha, supports those above statements. They go even further to describe it as becoming more holistic and affecting the entire inner body:
Aromatherapy, also referred to as Essential Oil therapy, can be defined as the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit. It seeks to unify physiological, psychological and spiritual processes to enhance an individual’s innate healing process.
So we can interpret his coining of the word “Aromatherapie” to mean the therapeutic application or the medicinal use of aromatic substances (essential oils) for holistic healing. As the practice of aromatherapy has progressed, over the years, it has adopted a more holistic approach encompassing the whole body, mind and spirit (energy). What is Aromatherapy | National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy
How exactly does this practice accomplish all of this?
These compounds are extremely concentrated and are not used directly in full strength in most circumstances.
They are called essential oils as they are actually the essence of the fragrance of the plant. It is the root essence of the particular smell or aroma of the plant it was extracted from. As a result they are very concentrated. Just a few drops can fill the sauna cabin with the invigorating or relaxing smell.
For traditional steam saunas, the steps involve dissolving a few drops in a bucket or container of water. This water is then poured or spooned over the hot rocks or heater, misting the compounds into the air. This in then absorbed by the skin and inhaled.
Due to the deep and more rapid breathing that takes place in any sauna, caution is again warranted in using these sparingly. A little truly does go a long way in this instance. Never pour any concentrated oil directly on to any heater or heater rocks.
One additional benefit of using this in a steam sauna is due to the very nature of a steam environment. A traditional sauna, with its moisture and sweaty environment can become a breeding ground for various germs and bacteria. While regular cleaning is always recommended, using essential oils in the water used to produce the steam is a way to clean some of the bacteria. It helps to maintain some degree of a sterile environment.
There are many calming and healing benefits. However the primary is the stress reduction with relief of depression being listed as a close second. These are addressed in the following article:
Stress Relief: Perhaps the most widespread and popular use of aromatherapy is for stress relief. The aromatic compounds from many different essential oils are known as relaxants and can help to soothe your mind and eliminate anxiety.
This is what most people who perform aromatherapy at home use it for, since the mixtures are very simple and the research on this aspect of aromatherapy is very well-known and widely studied. Some of the best essential oils for stress relief are lemon oil, lavender, bergamot, peppermint, vetiver, and ylang ylang essential oils. Certain studies have also shown that lemon oil can improve mood and reduce outbursts of anger.
Antidepressant Capacity: Second to stress relief, aromatherapy is very commonly used to eliminate feelings of depression, and due to the very complicated side effects of pharmaceutical antidepressants, this is a very important function of aromatherapy. Benefits of Aromatherapy | Organic Facts
While the above post from a qualified site does list an antidepressant benefit from essential oil therapy, we caution and encourage anyone struggling with depression or any medical condition to see advice from a physician. If the depression continues or worsens, seek counsel or medical advice. Lavender, chamomile and peppermint have been shown to aid in minor relief of feelings of depression.
If you want to begin this regimen, it is advised to start very slowly with one drop. Some people react strongly to any smells and the concentrated nature of these demand caution. You may not want to add this to your sauna sessions.
However, if you do want to give it a try, Vital Health Saunas is one brand that has included aromatherapy as part of its units. They have added a small pad to the oxygen ionizer in their products. You can add a couple drops of your favorite scent to this small pad. They have hinted that a diffuser may be added to their models in the future.
However, many find this to be a great addition to the healing nature of infrared or even steam saunas. Give it a try. Start with a fragrance you know you will enjoy. Lemon, lavender and peppermint seem to be enjoyed by many.

]]>Electromagnatic Fields, called EMF, are mentioned often when the topic of infrared saunas is discussed. EMF are the combination of magnetic and electrical energies that accompany and surround any electrical device. The amount is measured in milligauss (mG).
But is it really an important area of concern? In the past several decades, these levels from human-made sources have increased as new technologies and new uses of electricity have increased. Research into the dangers of increased exposure has also increased in recent years.
According to many experts, it is becoming more important every year. The World Health Organization (WHO) had this summary statement:
WHO | World Health Organization
Electromagnetic fields of all frequencies represent one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences, about which anxiety and speculation are spreading. All populations are now exposed to varying degrees of EMF, and the levels will continue to increase as technology advances.
The EMF Project is open to any WHO Member State government, i.e. department of health, or representatives of other national institutions concerned with radiation protection. The project is fully funded by participating countries and agencies. WHO | World Health Organization
We can see that it is definitely important. But is it important when selecting a low emf infrared sauna and what are your potential risks? Let's first examine that question and conclude with whether or not the infrared sauna industry has been unfairly targeted as many other devices, including cell phones have much higher levels.
Specifically, Electromagnetic Fields are electric energy waves at frequencies below 300 cycles per second. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Sweden Agencies consider levels below 3.0 milligauss to be safe. The important point is to limit the amount of time exposed to higher levels.
It has been suggested that nearly a third of the population has sensitivity to emf levels and approximately 3% can have severe reactions to exposure. Studies have shown that people using a cell phone before the age of 20 have a five times greater risk of brain cancer.
During 1989 and 1990, research gained more exposure when Paul Brodeur wrote a group of articles in the New Yorker Magazine which raised awareness to many scientists. Even stronger articles were written in Time magazine, the Wall Street Journal and Business Week. Soon after specials on the topic aired with Ted Koppel at ABC and on CBS's Dan Rather reports.
The health effects reported to be linked to high levels vary but include memory loss, headaches, a weaker immune system, depression and energy loss.
Later in 2002 the California Electric and Magnetic Fields Program published its risk and analysis report. This program was based on education, assistance and research in regards to the potential health risks and dangers of Electric and Magnetic Fields. It focused not only on large power lines, but also small electrical products.
The stated purpose was to find and report a balanced, fair and responsible analysis of any risks imposed by the electrical fields. Three scientists employed by the California Dept of Health Services reviewed numerous studies and their report included these summaries:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE CALIFORNIA EMF RISK EVALUATION FOR POLICYMAKERS AND THE PUBLIC
THE CONCLUSIONS AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE EVIDENCE:
· To one degree or another, all three of the DHS scientists are inclined to believe that EMFs can cause some degree of increased risk of childhood leukemia, adult brain cancer, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and miscarriage.
· They strongly believe that EMFs do not increase the risk of birth defects, or low birth weight.
However,
· All three scientists had judgments that were "close to the dividing line between believing and not believing" that EMFs cause some degree of increased risk of suicide, or
· For adult leukemia, two of the scientists are "close to the dividing line between believing or not believing" and one was "prone to believe" that EMFs cause some degree of increased risk. http://emfsafetynetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CDHS_ExecSumm.pdf
In a similar fashion, the EPA has agreed that studies are not conclusive on the existence or level of potential dangers:
Electric and Magnetic Fields | RadTown USA | US EPA
- Scientific experiments have not clearly shown whether or not exposure to EMF increases cancer risk. Scientists continue to conduct research on the issue.
- The strength of electromagnetic fields fades with distance from the source. Limiting the amount of time spent around a source and increasing the distance from a source reduces exposure.
However, several websites including lauralee.com, reported that the Director of Analysis and Support for the Environmental Protection Agency had this opinion:
Laura Lee News - Are EMF's Hazardous to Our Health?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns "There is reason for concern" and advises prudent avoidance".
Martin Halper, the EPA's Director of Analysis and Support says "I have never seen a set of epidemiological studies that remotely approached the weight of evidence that we're seeing with EMFs. Clearly there is something here." Laura Lee News - Are EMF's Hazardous to Our Health?
We can see that it is a big area of concern. However, we think it does not need to be an area of anxiety.
We think they have. Using a high quality infrared sauna typically will have less exposure than using a cell phone. The important thing to remember is that levels below 3.0 mG are considered safe. It is definitely best when you have the choice, to choose one with lower levels.
We applaud companies like Heavenly Heat that has had low readings on their heaters for years and companies like Vital Health and others that continue to upgrade their heaters. Clearlight and other names helped pioneer low EMF. Sunlighten has reduced level below 3.0 in their Signature line.
But while we really like seeing Clearlight's levels being tested at 0.05 mG, the difference between even 2.0 mG and 1.0 mG may not be nearly as important as a few other factors. What is more important is having heaters that have high emmissivity so that you are actually getting a tremendous amount of healing infrared. The second factor is simply using your sauna regularly.
Brands such as HealthMate, Clearlight, Sunlighten (for one of their models) and others are now posting the third part testing results on their websites. This is great to see.
In our opinion, it would be better to not use a cell phone and have a reading of 3.0 mG in your sauna, than to have readings of 1.0 and use the cell phone 5 hours per day.
Conclusion
We support the companies that have truly lowered EMF levels. They are to be commended. The units we recommend have models with low levels. But there is no need to be afraid of the levels in a top rated brand. The stress of worrying about it while in the sauna may do more harm that the actual electromagnetic fields.
Buy one of the brands that we have rated high based on evidence and research. Then use it regularly and know you have avoided any potential dangerous levels of Magnetic fields.

]]>Chromotherapy Lights are offered as an option on most infrared saunas. This is a therapy that has been used for centuries. But how does it work and is there any evidence that it helps you at all?
It is the application of color lights to increase the benefits of infrared healing. It is said to balance out any health imbalance in a person. Various colors are purported to aid via their own healing characteristics.
For example, green is more healing while red is more invigorating. As each are said to have very distinctive benefits, the colored LEDs usually rotate along the color wheel. However, in most saunas, the user can set it to stop and remain on one hue.
If in fact these therapies do have benefits, as we are heading into early winter this could be a benefit for suffers of SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder. SAD sufferers struggle with the dramatically reduced daylight during winter months. These people often greatly benefit from increased lighting.
Simple brighter white or full spectrum sunlight lamps are what are typically used for this purpose. Chormotherpay itself does not directly provide any SAD benefit. However, if this helps lift a person's mood or ease depression, then an indirect benefit is gained.
While colored lights therapy is not entirely proven or the most important add on option for a sauna, we do use chromotherapy in our Clearlight sauna at home. Clearlight infrared saunas offer this as a standard or low cost option as do most other brands.
To survive, our bodies do need light, which can be broken down into seven distinct variations. Sir Issac Newton was the first to invent an official color wheel. When he separated the light into 6 colors, he showed that the spectrums moved from red to orange and yellow. Then to green, cyan and blue. He then joined the two ends of the wheel.
It is said that colored cloths were hung over the windows of medical clinics centuries ago to aid in patients healing.
Red is said to be a great energizer, providing energy empowerment and circulation. It is a simulator of liver function and circulation.
Orange is meant to stimulate the body, free the mind for greater thinking and stimulate antibacterial effects.
Yellow can help a person feel more optimistic and hopeful, providing inspirational thoughts.
Green is known for universal healing. It helps muscles relax and holistic practitioners use it for speeding up all types of healing.
Blue is known to relieve depression, anxiety, promote relaxation and aid in detoxification.
Purple is used to help the mind deal with physical ailments such as fibromyalgia or tension.
Prematurely born babies are warmed with infrared in hospitals. Colors have been shown in studies to energize or even calm an aggressive person in less than 20 minutes. So combining them seems to have some possible merit.
The following article from Disabled World agrees with the popularity of this practice. It points out how imbalance is supposed to be balanced by these lights. However it does conclude with a statement of lack of any controlled trial based evidence of benefit:
Chromotherapy: Lighting Color Therapy for Health - Disabled World
It is said that organs and glands of our bodies also vibrate at specific frequencies and that colors correspond to the areas of our body which have the same frequency. When we are sick, our organs and glands may become out of balance and not function at their proper frequencies. Restoring the proper frequency is thought to restore health.
Combined with the healing attributes derived from infrared sauna heat technology, the colored chromotherapy lights are said to maximize the healing benefits that sauna usage provides. Chromotherapy: Lighting Color Therapy for Health - Disabled World
However, there does appear to be some evidence from studies and medical applications that chromotherapy has some use and benefits. The follow article from NBCI focuses on one aspect of the blue light of the spectrum:
A Critical Analysis of Chromotherapy and Its Scientific Evolution
The blue light found to be successful in the treatment of neonatal jaundice has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, as emphasized by Pleasanton in his work. In studies by McDonald, most of those exposed to blue light for variable periods of up to 15 min experienced a significant degree of pain relief.
It was concluded that the pain reduction was directly related both to the blue light and to the length of exposure to it. Blue light is also used in healing injured tissue and preventing scar tissue, as well as for burns and lung conditions (2).
In 1990, scientists reported to the annual conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on the successful use of blue light in the treatment of a wide variety of psychological problems, including addictions, eating disorders and depression.
As a result, color is becoming widely accepted as a therapeutic tool with various medical applications. A Critical Analysis of Chromotherapy and Its Scientific Evolution
This is an option offered by many sauna companies. As it is an inexpensive option, most opt to have it added to their sauna. While we have no definitive conclusion on this, as previously mentioned, we do use chromotherapy in our sauna at home.
At times the rotating colors do seem to aid in relaxation. It could be physiological in nature. Or perhaps simply psychological. However, if the mind is telling you that it is working and thereby relaxes you, perhaps there is merit even in that.
Whether you add chromotherapy or not with your purchase of an infrared sauna, our advice is simply to purchase a quality sauna. Begin gaining the benefits from infrared. Those are indeed proven and powerfully effective for deep healing.
To your health.

]]>Chromotherapy Lights are offered as an option on most infrared saunas. This is a therapy that has been used for centuries. But how does it work and is there any evidence that it helps you at all?
It is the application of color lights to increase the benefits of infrared healing. It is said to balance out any health imbalance in a person. Various colors are purported to aid via their own healing characteristics.
For example, green is more healing while red is more invigorating. As each are said to have very distinctive benefits, the colored LEDs usually rotate along the color wheel. However, in most saunas, the user can set it to stop and remain on one hue.
If in fact these therapies do have benefits, as we are heading into early winter this could be a benefit for suffers of SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder. SAD sufferers struggle with the dramatically reduced daylight during winter months. These people often greatly benefit from increased lighting.
Simple brighter white or full spectrum sunlight lamps are what are typically used for this purpose. Chormotherpay itself does not directly provide any SAD benefit. However, if this helps lift a person's mood or ease depression, then an indirect benefit is gained.
While colored lights therapy is not entirely proven or the most important add on option for a sauna, we do use chromotherapy in our Clearlight sauna at home. Clearlight infrared saunas offer this as a standard or low cost option as do most other brands.
To survive, our bodies do need light, which can be broken down into seven distinct variations. Sir Issac Newton was the first to invent an official color wheel. When he separated the light into 6 colors, he showed that the spectrums moved from red to orange and yellow. Then to green, cyan and blue. He then joined the two ends of the wheel.
It is said that colored cloths were hung over the windows of medical clinics centuries ago to aid in patients healing.
Red is said to be a great energizer, providing energy empowerment and circulation. It is a simulator of liver function and circulation.
Orange is meant to stimulate the body, free the mind for greater thinking and stimulate antibacterial effects.
Yellow can help a person feel more optimistic and hopeful, providing inspirational thoughts.
Green is known for universal healing. It helps muscles relax and holistic practitioners use it for speeding up all types of healing.
Blue is known to relieve depression, anxiety, promote relaxation and aid in detoxification.
Purple is used to help the mind deal with physical ailments such as fibromyalgia or tension.
Prematurely born babies are warmed with infrared in hospitals. Colors have been shown in studies to energize or even calm an aggressive person in less than 20 minutes. So combining them seems to have some possible merit.
The following article from Disabled World agrees with the popularity of this practice. It points out how imbalance is supposed to be balanced by these lights. However it does conclude with a statement of lack of any controlled trial based evidence of benefit:

It is said that organs and glands of our bodies also vibrate at specific frequencies and that colors correspond to the areas of our body which have the same frequency. When we are sick, our organs and glands may become out of balance and not function at their proper frequencies. Restoring the proper frequency is thought to restore health.
Combined with the healing attributes derived from infrared sauna heat technology, the colored chromotherapy lights are said to maximize the healing benefits that sauna usage provides. Chromotherapy: Lighting Color Therapy for Health - Disabled World
However, there does appear to be some evidence from studies and medical applications that chromotherapy has some use and benefits. The follow article from NBCI focuses on one aspect of the blue light of the spectrum:
A Critical Analysis of Chromotherapy and Its Scientific Evolution
The blue light found to be successful in the treatment of neonatal jaundice has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, as emphasized by Pleasanton in his work. In studies by McDonald, most of those exposed to blue light for variable periods of up to 15 min experienced a significant degree of pain relief.
It was concluded that the pain reduction was directly related both to the blue light and to the length of exposure to it. Blue light is also used in healing injured tissue and preventing scar tissue, as well as for burns and lung conditions (2).
In 1990, scientists reported to the annual conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on the successful use of blue light in the treatment of a wide variety of psychological problems, including addictions, eating disorders and depression.
As a result, color is becoming widely accepted as a therapeutic tool with various medical applications. A Critical Analysis of Chromotherapy and Its Scientific Evolution
This is an option offered by many sauna companies. As it is an inexpensive option, most opt to have it added to their sauna. While we have no definitive conclusion on this, as previously mentioned, we do use chromotherapy in our sauna at home.
At times the rotating colors do seem to aid in relaxation. It could be physiological in nature. Or perhaps simply psychological. However, if the mind is telling you that it is working and thereby relaxes you, perhaps there is merit even in that.
Whether you add chromotherapy or not with your purchase of an infrared sauna, our advice is simply to purchase a quality sauna. Begin gaining the benefits from infrared. Those are indeed proven and powerfully effective for deep healing.
To your health.
