Why Doctors Choose SaunaRay
- SaunaRay's unique design is used in environmental detoxification centers in Canada & the United States. Heaters are placed in the corners, not directly against your spine. This creates a safe, even heat.
- Functional windows circulate fresh air.
- Each unit is constructed with the purest materials. No plywood which emits formaldehyde gas - a known carcinogen.
- No toxic glues used and finished in Beeswax to ensure purity.
- All heaters are 100% pure ceramic, medical grade Far Infrared emitters. No aluminum or other filler materials are used.
- Heaters are mounted on 100% surgical grade stainless steel reflectors.
- Requires no drain or vent & plugs into a regular outlet, in any room of your home.
- Low-wattage heaters emitt the most far infrared waves in the healing spectrum which is 4-14 microns. It is at this wavelength that the human body best absorbs F-I-R heat.
- Medically proven results for detoxification, heart disease, asthma, relief from chronic pain, breast health, fibromyalgia, weight loss & improved skin tone.
What is Far Infrared?
Far Infrared is simply the band of the light spectrum where ceramic vibrates. Infrared means "Below Red" 'or just under the visible light part of the spectrum. Far means it's at the far end of the infrared spectrum. It's simply a technical name assigned to the function of the emitters. Basically the ceramic heaters operate the same as glass, or sand which has a high silica content. These things reflect Far Infrared waves from the sun naturally, like heat coming through a window even though it's -20C outside. Or the way the beach gets too hot to walk on with bare feet, but the grass next to it is cool. It's a natural process. Water absorbs heat at the far infrared wavelength. If you were to place an ice cube on a ceramic plate, and another ice cube on a plastic plate, the one on the ceramic plate would melt in seconds, but the one on the plastic plate would take 20 minutes. It's because water receives at the far infrared wavelength. So it's absorbing room temperature very quickly on the F-I-R waves vibrating from the ceramic. Because our bodies are mostly water, we absorb on the far infrared wavelength too. When you heat the ceramic emitters, the room warms up and our bodies absorb the heat very quickly, and we sweat.
Far Infrared VS. Traditional "Steam" Saunas
Traditional Scandinavian style "steam" saunas use a high wattage heater, usually 7,000-10,000 watts, to heat the air in a small room. When you breathe that air your lungs instantly heat up. Then your heart quickly starts pumping blood out to the extremities in order to trigger the sweat glands to cool down the core body temperature and protect the major organs. It's basically a shock reaction. The fast heart rate is why heart patients cannot go into regular saunas. And the heat in the lungs is why asthmatics cannot go in. But they can both go safely into a Far Infrared sauna. A Far Infrared sauna uses low-wattage heaters. Ideally 200 watts or less. (SaunaRay heaters are 160 watts each - the lower they are, the longer they stay in the critical range of 4-14 microns). The low wattage means the ceramic stays vibrating in the critical far infrared wavelength. The heat is absorbed by the outer 2 inches of your body. Your sweat glands are triggered to start working BEFORE THE CORE BODY TEMPERATURE GOES UP. This means you're sweating before you feel hot. The F-I-R sauna is such a low, soft & comfortable heat that virtually no one is sensitive to it.
Why Basswood & Not Cedar?
Basswood is the least allergenic wood in North America. That's one of the reasons why doctor's love SaunaRay units. Also, no plywood & toxic glues are used of any sort. Cedar is associated with saunas because the high-heat saunas originated in Scandinavia where cedar was a plentiful wood. Also, it performs well in highly moist environments because it grows in swampy areas. But because there is no moisture in the F-I-R sauna, it is not necessary. Perhaps, the most important reason why not cedar, is that CEDAR IS NATURALLY TOXIC. It has a neurotoxin called Cedrus in the wood. It is used for clothing chests and to line drawers and closets because it kills moths. That much neurotoxin volatilizing in a small room is not recommended. Cedar is also now considered a Workplace Hazard by provincial workers compensation boards and is recognized as a potential carcinogen among workers. It is not advised for this type of sauna. The oils can volatize from the heaters and fill the room with cedar oils that are not good for you over long periods.
Why Is All This Sweating So Good For You?
Toxins we accumulate from everyday life are stored in our fat cells. Whatever our bodies can't easily eliminate via the liver or the kidneys, it sends off to the fat cells for future elimination via sweat. But since we live sedentary lives, live in a cold climate & spend our summers in air conditioned rooms, we just don't sweat enough. Additionally, since we live in a time of unprecedented chemical exposure from air, water, & food, we need to assist our toxic elimination via sweating. It's been proven in studies at the Mayo Clinic. SaunaRay has doctors at Harvard Medical School working with it, as well as several doctors in the Toronto area who use the saunas in their practices. The proof can be seen with the hardest cases, like American soldiers exposed to Agent Orange who removed 97% of dioxins from their bodies by sweating for 6 weeks. That's after carrying it for 20 years!
