But, How Safe is Infrared Radiation and 
How About Some Scientific Authentication?
(This page is printer-friendly)

Okay, I know what you're thinking. Is this thing going to give me skin cancer?  Is it safe?  This may bore you, but let's get technical for a while.  Please bear with me, as these facts must be stated in order to grasp the impact of beneficial infrared therapy.

Let's begin by explaining what exactly radiant heat is.  No need to worry.  It has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you a sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation (the kind from a nuclear bomb).

Radiant heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between. Radiant heat is also called Infrared Energy (IR). 

The infrared segment of the electromagnetic spectrum occurs just below or infra to red light as the next lowest energy band of light. This band of light is not visible to human eyes but can be seen by special cameras that translate infrared into colors visible to our eyes. We can, however, feel this type of light that we perceive as heat. 

What can infrared technology do for you? 

First of all, infrared or radiant heat warms your body directly and provides a healthy purifying sweat at much lower temperatures.  

Infra-Therapist provides a highly enjoyable sauna environment at temperatures as low as 100F with fresh air continually circulating through its ventilation so you can still breath normally and without discomfort like is the case with other very hot, steamy saunas found in some homes and at health spas.

Radiant heat, on the other hand is very therapeutic for your well being. It supports your body's natural defense system to easily ward off harmful contaminates.  It's also . . .. 

Portable
The Infra-Therapist is the first portable therapy unit of its kind. It converts into transportable dimensions - 4 sections, that is.

Improves Skin
Perspiration purges clogged pores of deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells leaving you with glowing radiant skin. An increase in blood circulation encourages a healthy flow of nutrients to your skin. 

• Excellent for increasing blood circulation to the skin, which is essential for beautiful, youthful, glowing skin.

• 
  A new "inner glow" as the skin is free of accumulated dirt and dry skin cells, due to deep cleansing of impurities.

Reduces Stress and Fatigue
The soothing warmth of the Infra-Therapist will relax and loosen your tight, sore muscles. Radiant heat therapy also relieves the stiffness, aches and soreness associated with aging.  It is better than having a personal masseuse.

Relax with Comfort
The first horizontal unit of its kind, you can comfortably lie down in the Infra-Therapist while enjoying the benefits of radiant heat therapy.

Temperature
Between 70F and 150F. This temperature range will not hamper your breathing or cause you physical discomfort, and the penetrating warmth of the Infra-Therapist generates healthy perspiration at comfortable, low temperatures.

Control Panel
The Infra Therapist has conveniently located dual controls. The digital display is clear and visible, and the functions of the Infra-Therapist allow you to adjust the environment to your individual needs.

Injuries
If you are an athlete, an Infra-Therapist is all good news. It allows oxygen debt to be repaid more quickly. This is likely to lead to improved and quicker healing of sprains and muscle pain for you.

Energy Efficient
The Infra-Therapist uses very little energy, about the same amount as a small appliance (a hair dryer for example). And with no preheat time, you won't waste energy or time waiting for your Infra-Therapist to warm up.

ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND AVAILABLE

Why is this Infra-Therapist unique?

It uses infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate the body's tissues to a depth of over 1.5". Its energy output is tuned to correspond very closely to the body's own radiant energy that our bodies absorb as much as 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin.

A conventional sauna must rely only on indirect means of heat:  First on convection (air currents) and then conduction (direct contact of hot air with the skin) to produce its healing effect on us. In an Infra-Therapist, less than 20% of the infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. 

Thus an infrared based system can warm you to a much greater depth and much more efficiently than a conventional sauna, as its energy output is primarily used to convert energy directly to heat in us and not to create excessively hot air that then only heats the skin superficially. 

This crucial difference explains many of the health supporting benefits available through infrared therapy, not attainable through the use of a conventional sauna.

The infrared energy applied in the Infra-Therapist may induce up to 2 - 3 times the sweat volume of a traditional hot-air sauna while operating at a significantly cooler air temperature range of 110F to 130F vs. 180F to 235F for hot-air saunas. 

The lower heat range is safer for those concerned about cardiovascular risk factors that might be adversely affected by the higher temperatures encountered in old-style hot-air saunas. 

It is also distinctly more pleasant to breathe in infrared saunas with air temperatures about 50F to 125F cooler than in traditional hot-air saunas. 

Due to its user-friendly nature, people naturally prefer to use the Infra-Therapist and will continue to do so on a regular basis because of the ease of breathing the much cooler air while feeling as warm as they choose, and the distinctive feeling of well-being reported by users as an after-effect. 

The conventional hot-air saunas require extensive warm-up periods of 30 - 90 minutes, making them much less practical than the modern Infra-Therapist that warms up in about 5 minutes at room temperature. 

Significantly lower operating costs make the Infra-Therapist more desirable than a regular sauna.  A 20 minute session, including a 5 minute warm-up in the Infra-Therapist, costs about 5 cents of electricity.  

A comparable session with a full warm-up in a conventional sauna costs about $0.75 ~ $1.00.  Daily usage of the Infra-Therapist will raise your electrical bill by only $1.50 a month compared to $22.50 to $30.00 a month in a conventional sauna, if each is used for 20 minutes after warm-up.

Wow!  That was a lot of data.  But just enough to help you understand what we're dealing with in the use of infrared therapy.  It's really not new as the preceding case studies have proved.  What IS new is the way you and I can access this wonderful healing process.  

Okay!  I'm convinced.  How much is this sauna anyway?   And do I get any bonuses for paying in full?  Do you have a finance plan?
