Infrared Sauna Frequently
Asked Questions
Q. Are
your saunas in stock?
A. In most cases we have all sauna models in stock.
Q. What are
your sauna prices?
A.
Smarty Sauna: $3,795; 1-Person TheraSauna: $3,220.00;
2-Person TheraSauna: $3,741.00; 4-Person TheraSauna:
$4,366.00
Q. Do you
always offer free shipping?
A. Well, we try,
but then again a shipping special wouldn't be special if we offered
it every month.
Q. I can't
decide which sauna to buy. What's the major difference between
the Infra-Therapist and
TheraSaunas?
A. For
practitioners working with facials, tanning and body wrapping, the
Infra-Therapist is ideal. It's
also great for those with
limited space and a limited budget. TheraSauna models are a
cut above in
that they do not off-gas as the plastic Infra-Therapist
would. If someone is battling severe health
concerns or has
multiple chemical sensitivities, probably the TheraSaunas would be
best, as they do
not off-gas like other plastic or wooden saunas.
Q. What makes TheraSaunas
so special. Aren't they basically the same saunas you see
everywhere?
A. NO. TheraSaunas are unique in a variety of ways.
You just can't get the health benefits you seek with
sub-standard
models. That said, you can achieve at least SOME benefit from
ANY far infrared sauna.
However, here are a few factors that set TheraSauna
apart from all others:
1. Constant supply of far infrared - not a shut-on,
shut-off rhythm. (You could purchase a less
expensive sauna but in the long haul would
be receiving less therapeutic radiation).
2. Pesticide-free white woods are used in construction. As a
rule of thumb, the darker the wood, the
more toxins exist in it, especially when
heated. That's why we use imported non-sprayed white
durable woods. (Cedar and redwood
both emit toxic gases when heated).
3. Patented electronic controls
4. Full range of light wavelength of between 7.5 and 12 microns
that has been proven to be the most therapeutic
range. The body produces infrared in
this range.
5. True "far" infrared light wavelength penetration (up to three
inches deep into the body)
6. Assembles in 30 minutes (usually less)
7. Plugs into standard household plugs (4-Person TheraSauna require
20 amp service)
8. Takes only minutes to warm up
9. Completely portable
10. Costs pennies a day to operate
11. Burns calories (up to 600 in a 25 minute session)
12. Relieves pain
13. Boosts immune and cardiovascular health
14. Promotes detoxification of heavy metals and all lipophilic
toxins
Q. Can
children use infrared saunas?
A. Legally, we must say consult your
physician before you or your children begin any health program,
including
infrared therapy. However, hospitals
routinely keep newborn babies warm by applying far infrared heat as
it is
comforting and therapeutic. We have clients
who take their young children into the saunas with them with
wonderful results.
Q. How can
infrared saunas be used in conjunction with exercise and before and
after work-outs?
A. According to research,
light literally can alter basic biological functions. Studies
indicate that radiant light
produces a metabolic effect in the body similar
to that of exercise. Lactic acid, a by-product of muscle
metabolism that causes soreness and stiffness
after strenuous exercise is significantly reduced after far infrared
(or radiant) sauna therapy. And use of the
sauna before exercise can also be beneficial as it helps increase
blood circulation and acts as a "warm up" before
activity.
Q. Do you
use tempered glass or plexiglass in your TheraSaunas?
A. Plexiglass would be
fine, as it's flash point is very high before emission of gases.
However, TheraSaunas
are constructed with only tempered glass in their doors
and windows.
Q. What are the advantages of
owning a sauna in comparison to less expensive spa visits?
A. The choice is
yours. We understand that owning a sauna isn't for everyone,
but realistically it could be viewed
as an investment in your health and perhaps life.
For many, the wonderful benefits of body penetration (up to
three inches), deep detoxification and pain
relief are enough to tip the scales in favor of owning one in the
privacy of one's home.
Q. Will my utility bills increase,
namely my electric bill?
A. Our saunas are
very efficient and a 30 minute session costs about 5 cents for
electricity to operate.
Q. Does dry, far infrared sauna
therapy affect the sinuses?
A. We have many
testimonials from happy customers who have been relieved of their
sinus congestion and
extreme sinus headaches with sauna therapy.
We cannot predict your personal results and again, if you
have any medical condition, consult your doctor
first.
Q. Does infrared sauna therapy
burn calories? Will I get slim using your sauna?
A. We can't
predict what results you'll have but some of our sauna users have
reported loss of excess weight and
inches. Our saunas can burn 300-600
calories in a 30 minute session.
Q. Does far infrared sauna
therapy help the skin look better? What about cellulite?
A. Many skin disorders are the result of clogged pores and
environmental damage. Far infrared rays penetrate the
skin to loosen oils and other debris from the pores,
enhancing immunity and circulation which helps one look
more radiant and beautiful.
Our muscles are wrapped in a padding of fatty connective tissue and
the fatty
cells of the padding are held in place by a network of
fibers, nourished and cleansed by body fluids. When this
process is slowed down, the tissue is flooded with
waste materials that thicken into gelatin-like substance and
hardens to form immovable pockets called cellulite.
Far infrared sauna therapy can help speed up the removal
of these waste materials and yes, some of our users
have reported quick loss of their cellulite with consistent
sauna use.
Q. You sometimes use the term
"radiation" when referring to far infrared. Is that correct
and more
importantly, is that safe?
A. The sun gives us its
radiation which is vital to life's functions so to say all radiation
is bad would be incorrect.
Our own bodies radiate infrared energy through the skin
at 3 to 50 microns, with most output at 9.4 microns.
Our palms emit infrared energy also. The infrared
heat produced by these infrared saunas is similar to the heat
from the sun. This radiant heat is a form of
energy that heats objects directly through conversion without having
to heat the air between. Radiant heat is also
called infrared energy or IR. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
HARMFUL RADIATION FROM MICROWAVES, DAMAGING ULTRAVIOLET
RAYS, ELECTRO-MAGNETIC
FREQUENCIES OR THE LIKE.
Q. Will the sauna be an eye-sore
in my home?
A. That depends on how
you define "eye-sore". The Infra-Therapist is handsomely
constructed and takes little
space. You could even hide it inside a large
closet if you think that's necessary. TheraSaunas are
handcrafted
from 100% clear non-toxic wood for years of durability
and lasting beauty.
