Infrared - How It Works
How Infrared works for you
Infrared is the healthy part of sunlight.
Sunlight includes ultraviolet and infrared rays. Visible sunlight is in the middle of the spectrum. At a higher frequency, the visible light changes to ultraviolet rays - which can cause sunburn.
At a lower frequency, however, sunlight changes to gentle far-infrared rays (FIR). It is these rays that allow the sun to warm you, even on a cold winter's day.
Infrared rays at the 6-14 micron frequency range are the most therapeutic to the body. The BZc Sunsoka Sauna infrared elements are designed to operate within this range to maximize the effectiveness of your therapy.
These infrared rays penetrate the body safely and comfortably up to 4.5cms, so even the deep tissues and organs are stimulated. This prompts the body to perspire far more than in a traditional sauna - enabling the more inaccessible impurities to be eliminated from the body at a comfortable temperature.
Cardiovascular workout
As your body temperature increases, sweat is produced to cool you and your heart works harder to circulate the blood. By widening the blood vessels and enriching your blood with oxygen you feel more energetic and your skin achieves a beautiful, relaxing glow.
"Regular use of a sauna may impact a similar stress on the cardiovascular system as running and its regular use may be as effective (at) burning calories."
Detoxification
Extensive research on the therapeutic uses of Far-infrared (FIR) has been carried out by Japanese researcher, Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki.
In her book, The Science of Far-Infrared Therapies, she describes FIRs ability to remove toxins, which are often at the core of so many health problems.
The human body is a 'bio-accumulator', which means that toxins that are not expelled immediately after entry are stored. Accumulations of these toxins impair blood circulation and cellular energy. By applying 7 to 14 micron FIR waves, trapped gases and other toxic materials are released.
According to another eminent researcher in the field, Dr Tsu-Tsair Oliver Chi : "These rays are selectively absorbed by tissues needing a boost in their output. The internal production of infrared energy is associated with a variety of healing responses and may require a boost to a maximal level to insure the fullest healing response possible in a tissue that is being repaired. After boosting a tissue's level to its maximum. The remaining rays pass onwards harmlessly."
Consumer familiarity with far infrared began with the use of infrared heat lamps, producing radiant heat. In the mid-1960s NASA discovered that a number of mineral oxides were capable of generating FIR waves. After using various FIR products in the space programme, no further developments occurred at NASA. . .
But the Japanese identified other uses . . .
Today, more than150 patents have been granted to the Japanese for products such as: FIR saunas, FIR ovens that replace microwaves, FIR panels for incubators in maternity wards as well as FIR wave-generating ceramics and fabrics.
Over the past 35 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have conducted extensive research on infrared treatments and report numerous benefits.
In Japan, there is an Infrared Society, composed of medical doctors and physical therapists, to further research and support the health benefits of infrared as a method of healing.
The secret of BZc Sunsoka Sauna's phenomenal success is in the delicate control the user has over the infrared output. BZc Sunsoka Sauna infrared therapy enables you to perspire comfortably and safely at temperatures as low as 32-40°c!
A BZc Sunsoka Sauna offers unsurpassed levels of comfort and uninterrupted infrared therapy over the entire session. Added to this is the peace of mind that the BZc Sunsoka Sauna is from Europe's leading supplier, with years of experience and the most rigorous quality control in the business.
