HEALING POWER
Harness the power of the sun. Far infrared is part of the sun’s invisible light spectrum that is essential to plants, animals and humans. Infrared heat is a form of energy that penetrates the body by warming muscles and tissue directly without heating the intervening air. The body produces infrared energy to keep us warm and repair body tissue. Far infrared energy is radiated through the skin at 3 to 50 microns with the greatest output at 9.4 microns. Occasionally the infrared energy in our body tissue needs a boost to insure healing and tissue repair. The body will selectively absorb infrared to boost a tissue’s infrared energy. This process is called resonant absorption. Far infrared rays are completely safe and are used in hospitals to warm newborn babies.
Doctors in Europe and Japan have conducted extensive research on the therapeutic uses of infrared. Far infrared treatments have shown Medical Benefits in a variety of illnesses. Far infrared waves speed removal of toxins from the body, which are often a major contributor to various health problems.
Numerous toxins are absorbed and stored in our bodies. Toxic gases like sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and substances like lead, mercury, and chlorine are encapsulated by large water molecules. When toxins are present in the body, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body’s immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult for the body to fight disease.
However, when 9.4 microns of far infrared are applied, the large water molecules vibrate and breakdown the ion bond to release the encapsulated gases and toxic materials. Far infrared heat has been used in the treatment of clogged capillary vessels; this heat expands the capillaries and skin pores to expel toxins from the body.
BENEFITS:
- Increased flow of rich oxygenated blood to muscles and joints since Far Infrared dilutes blood vessels and capillaries
- Improvement of the lymphatic system reduces inflammation and swelling in the body
- Weight loss and regulation with calorie burning
- Improved skin tone and the reduction in the appearance of cellulite
- Enzyme and cellular activity is stimulated
- Rheumatism, arthritis and bursitis relief
- Strengthening of the cardiovascular system
- Improved immune system
- Relief from sore and injured muscles and reduction of muscle spasms
- Better adhesion and osmosis of water molecules across the cellular membrane
Far infrared is so safe the FDA approved the use of far infrared lamps to warm newborn babies. The human body absorbs infrared in the 3-50 micron range. The far infrared waves between 6 to 14 microns have proven to have special regenerative effects on the body.
TheraSauna emits the greatest amount of infrared in the 9.4 micron range, which is the human body's optimum absorption frequency. When cells and tissue in the body are exposed to this range of far infrared heat, response mechanisms are triggered which stimulate the healing process. Benefit from the healing powers of far infrared heat in your own home by purchasing a Therasauna today.
Therasauna is the ultimate health and relaxation solution for life.
TOTAL CONTROL
Programmable MPS Touchview Features:
For Dual Users: Allows you to set the desired time your sauna will turn on each day of the week. The TheraSauna® can be set to reach a certain temperature in a specific amount of time, and will save the settings for you. Your settings will be saved even if the TheraSauna® experiences a power failure.
This control allows you to vary the infrared output from each TheraMitter ™ zone and control the infrared micron range. This is a tremendous feature for multiple sauna users. As an example, the person on the right can set their back TheraMitters ™ on full power and their feet to half power while the person on the left can set their back TheraMitter™ to 80% power and their feet to 60% power. This is an awesome feature which allows programming personal comfort level settings from 100% to 8% for each zone. The combinations of power settings are unlimited and will please even the choosiest of consumers.
The SpectraWave function allows the sauna to wave through an entire infrared spectrum. The sauna’s onboard computer system has 8 different pre-selected power settings which it will scroll through a new setting every 2 minutes. This feature will WOW even the most scrutinizing sauna user as they will be receiving near, middle and far infrared throughout the spectrum as this feature is set in motion.
The Stable Heat "Patented Control System" automatically maintains a constant output of far infrared heat at the 9.4 micron level. Other saunas turn off after reaching their set convection air temperature, losing air temperature and creating an ineffective range of infrared. The TheraSauna® StableHeat™ System does not turn off, but powers down and sends a trickle charge of electricity to maintain the surface temperature of the TheraMitter™ heaters, thus providing a continuous and effective 9.4 micron range of far infrared to the user.
The best far infrared heating system is a high glass content solid Ceramic TheraMitter™ heater, because it is a proven system, while others like steel rod, aluminum, or carbon heating systems are touted as new technologies. The radiant efficiency of a heating material is an extremely important factor to its far infrared qualities. For this reason, the high glass content Ceramic TheraMitter™ remains the gold standard for producing the most vital micron range of infrared for the human body.
Compare for yourself and see why the TheraSauna® TheraMitter™ heaters provide the most effective range of far infrared therapy.
HEATER COMPARISON
Concave Ceramic TheraMitter™
Ceramic is made from natural earth elements. TheraMitter™ heaters have the highest glass content in the industry which provides uninhibited transmission and output of far infrared. Concave Ceramic TheraMitter™ heaters are able to spread infrared heat waves in a 180º pattern, effectively covering every square inch inside the sauna. Due to the quality of the reflector, all energy is given direction toward the user to improve the delivery of far infrared. The absorbed heat characteristics of a ceramic TheraMitter™ produce an energy of feeling that creates well being and health due to the range of temperatures across the ribbed ceramic face. The EMF (Electromagnetic Field) is extremely low in the Ceramic TheraMitter™ due to the fact that the wire changes direction several times over the face of the heater, thus reducing the output of EMF. The watt density of the TheraMitter™ is ideal; providing the user with the highest output of far infrared at the most beneficial micron range for the human body.
Radiant Efficiency of Ceramic TheraMitter™: 96 %
Infrared Micron Range: 6.0 – 14.0
Incoloy Rod Heaters
Cylinder-type steel heaters are used by a number of different sauna companies. Tubular elements consist of a helical resistant wire inside a metal tube filled with magnesium oxide as an insulator and heat conductor. They have a radiant efficiency of 50% and emit an infrared wavelength range of 3.0 to 6.0 microns. Incoloy rod heaters have a short life span due to the compaction of the magnesium oxide which tends to short out the helical wire. They also have an extremely high watt density which produces a very high surface temperature of the rod, which in turn produces a lower ineffective range of infrared. The EMF of incoloy rod heaters is extremely high due to a non-cancelling wire and non-insulating metal surface.
Radiant Efficiency: 50%
Infrared Micron Range: 3.0 – 6.0
Tubular Ceramic Heaters
Tubular ceramic heaters consist of a helical resistant wire housed in vitreous silica sand enclosed in a metal tube. They have a radiant efficiency of 50% and emit an infrared wavelength range of 2.5 to 6.0 microns. Tubular ceramic heaters have a short life span due to the compaction of the silica sand which tends to short out the helical wire. They also have an extremely high watt density which produces a very high surface temperature of the rod, which in turn produces a lower ineffective range of infrared. The EMF of tubular ceramic heaters is extremely high due to a non-cancelling wire and non-insulating metal surface.
Radiant Efficiency: 50%
Infrared Micron Range: 2.5 – 6.0
Carbon Heaters
These heaters sandwich a carbon screen between two fiberglass epoxy resin casings. They operate at a very low surface temperature of 130º F and have a very low radiant efficiency. This type of heating element is used in automotive seat heaters. Carbon heaters tend to absorb odor, then re-emit the offensive odor back into the sauna. The carbon material has a very low watt density which makes it very difficult to completely heat the sauna to an adequate temperature. It also has an extremely high EMF which produces an unsafe environment.
Radiant Efficiency: 55% – varies
Infrared Micron Range: 4.0 – 20.0
Aluminum Heaters
These heaters are typically made by encasing incoloy heater rods inside aluminum sheets, which are then sprayed with a thin ceramic coating. This allows companies to make their heaters larger and give the impression they are ceramic. Aluminum heaters have a higher watt density which produces an ineffective micron range of infrared. Heat is produced from the back of the heater as well as the front which results in 50% of its heat energy wasted. These heaters also have a very high EMF which produces an unsafe environment.
Radiant Efficiency: 56%
Infrared Micron Range: 4.0 – 6.0
Does size of the infrared heater matter?
Our research has shown that physical size does not matter as much as the watt density of the heaters. The ideal infrared wavelength provided by the heaters within a far infrared sauna is more important than heater size. Some companies claim that large heaters are the best. The problem is that these large heaters have a very low watt density that produces an ineffective range of infrared and cannot heat the air inside the sauna effectively.
BREATHE EASY WITH ASPEN WOOD
Infrared energy heats objects (like your body and the inside wood of the sauna) directly and penetrates up to 2 inches below the surface. Cedar and redwood contain a natural insecticide within the wood called turpines. When these naturally occurring oils within the wood are heated, they gas off a substance called cedrine. Cedrine attacks the central nervous system of insects and kills them. It can also cause vomiting and convulsions in humans. TheraSauna® is made of Aspen, which is a clear wood grown at elevations where the trees do not produce an insecticide. Aspen is 99% non-toxic and non-allergenic.
