The main benefit of infra-red is that it can penetrate deep into the body and heat internally without raising your external temperature – this means significantly more heat can be generated resulting in numerous benefits that you will find out about if you keep reading.

Infrared light was first discovered in the 1800, it was first used in medical devises in 1965 and became available to the public in 1979.

Infrared rays are known as biogenetic rays or vital rays as they easily penetrate deep into the tissues of humans, plants and animals where they have amazing benefits on the functions on the body by generating significant heating in the muscles and internal organs.

How do the Rays Work??

The rays raise the internal body temperature increasing blood flow to 13 litres per minute instead of 5-7 Litres per minute at rest, increasing cardiac rhythm and cardiac volume, resulting in cardiovascular training.

Water and body fluids (eg: blood and lymphatic fluid) strongly absorb the infra-red energy resulting in:

 Body fluid and cells becoming more active and having more energy

 Improved cell and fluid detoxification
 Help cells grow and activate cellular function
 Increased cell oxygenation to cells and muscles
 Enhanced immunity
 Contribute to disease prevention
 An analgesic effect
 Increased endorphin production

No wonder we feel so good after being in the warm of the sun!!!

As you can imagine the therapeutic effects of this is far and wide and wonderful which is why we just had to have an infra-red sauna at the clinic. The combination of relaxing warmth and detoxification and long term stimulation of metabolic processes purifies and strengthens the body resulting in relief from many aliments and increased general resistance – amazing!!!

But why the Dome?

The benefits of Infra-red Rays come from their ability to heat the internal body without heating the external body.

Conventional saunas heat the ambient air to 80- 110 degrees Celsius and not the internal organs and this heat can cause fatigue, trouble breathing and utilise the adrenal glands.
