Infrared light is part of the Sun's invisible spectrum of light that has the ability to penetrate the human tissue.

Infrared heat therapy uses these far infrared light characteristics to heat the body directly rather than just the air.

The experience of a far infrared sauna is similar to sunbathing, which gives you the radiant heat that is all your own.

Unlike sunbathing, far infrared heat therapy is completely healthy and safe. You can relax in a far infrared sauna and it will never cause your skin to burn.

Far infrared saunas increase the body's core temperature thus resulting in a much deeper, more detoxifying sweat from the cellular level of the skin where many toxins are housed.

Conventional hot rock/steam heat saunas heat the air with steam, which can often be unbearably hot and will cause you to only sweat at the surface of the tissue. Steam also makes the air difficult to breath.

A far infrared sauna uses soothing dry far infrared heat that is well ventilated and extremely comfortable and relaxing.

Far infrared heat therapy has also been shown to assist with weight loss, pain relief, improved circulation and skin rejuvenation.

In 2001 our breakthrough Solocarbon® heater was born, introducing the world to the largest surface area far infrared heater in existence.

Through research and development we discovered that a larger surface area heater would indeed produce more therapeutic far infrared heat and deliver a much deeper sweat for our customers than other far infrared heating systems.

By having a surface area heater that is over 10 times larger than most other far infrared heaters, you will receive that much of a deeper sweat and 10 times the benefits!

Detox
Detox the body on a cellular level. Detox heavy metals including mercury, lead, cadmium, and aluminum. Detox arsenic, formaldehyde, pesticides, agent orange, industrial chemicals, and gasoline. Detox alcohol, nicotine, and other drugs. Detox is from 7 to 10 times greater because it operates more effectively (the body actually sweats more) at temperatures 60 to 80 degrees lower than conventional saunas.

Far infrared sauna
Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki, MD owns a far infrared therapy clinic in Japan where she has done extensive research on the uses of far infrared Therapy or Infrared Light Therapy. In her book, "The Science of far infrared Therapies," she explains that one of the reasons far infrared Therapy has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses is the ability of far infrared waves to remove toxins with mercury detox, which is often at the core of many health problems. Since humans are bio-accumulators, numerous toxins that disturb natural body healing and cannot be removed immediately after entry are stored in our bodies and prevent future natural body healing.

Far Infrared Sauna
When toxic gases such as sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide or toxic substances such as lead, mercury, or chlorine meet large water molecules, water clusters encapsulate them. Where these toxins accumulate, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. Mercury detox begins when a 10 micron far infrared Therapy wave is applied to these large water molecules and the water begins to vibrate.
This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms that are holding together the molecules of water. As the vibration continues, breakdown of the water molecules occurs and encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released. Scientists in Japan report that in the far infrared Therapy wave treatment of clogged capillary vessels, a similar process occurs: heat expands the capillaries from far infrared Therapy and then initiates the process to dissolve hidden toxins.
Far Infrared Therapy also helps to improve nervous disorders, digestive disorders, weight loss, and normalize blood pressure.

Our founder's testimonial
Sunlight Saunas™ was founded by Jason Lincoln Jeffers after an exhaustive search for a cure for chronic fatigue syndrome and mercury toxicity (MT). After 11 years of suffering, Mr. Jeffers purchased a far infrared sauna and began a detox program: 30 minutes a day for over two years straight. Today, he is healthy, full of energy and mercury-free. The philosophy of our company is a clear reflection of our founder's dedication to educating the public on the numerous health benefits of far infrared therapy.

Heat treatments get rid of toxins
By Raymond Francis, M.Sc. Reprinted from "Never Be Sick Again"
Not only do saunas feel good, they are good! Saunas get your heart beating and your blood circulating, helping the body to detoxify in unique and important ways. Toxins do the damage, and saunas help with damage control. Saunas or other treatments help to accomplish detoxification in the following manner: A layer of fat and oil exists just below the surface of the skin. Heat from the sauna increases skin temperature, causing those fats and oils to "melt" and ooze out of the skin's oil glands. As sweat and oil are secreted, the toxins dissolved in them are secreted as well. By excreting these toxins and then washing them off your body, your toxic load is lowered and cellular health improves
