A narrow spectrum of light with a wide spectrum of benefits

Sauna therapy is one of the most cost effective, safe, and powerful ways to detoxify the body and heal chronic infections. However, it is important to emphasize the reasons why development science avoids the use of Far infrared saunas and instead favors the use of Near infrared saunas.

Near infrared (NIR) lamp saunas use incandescent reddish ‘heat lamps’ for heating. These inexpensive bulbs emit mainly near infrared energy, as well as a bit of middle infrared. While traditional saunas require high temperatures to induce sweating, near infrared penetrates the skin by about 3 inches and heats from the inside as well. This allows the air temperature in the sauna to be much cooler and is therefore tolerated much better.

NIR supports metabolic processes, encourages wound healing and cellular regeneration, and is actually considered an anti-oxidant nutrient! Besides this, it:

• Helps to restore the skin – NIR helps restore elimination through the skin, which is a very congested organ in most people. It also improves the activity of fibroblasts, which affects the elasticity of skin and provides younger-looking, more youthful skin, and reduces visible cellulite by helping rebuild connective tissue.
• Promotes detoxification –  Toxic metals and chemicals are one of the main things affecting people’s health today. Near infrared saunas help to remove these by inducing sweating, which has been shown in medical studies to help remove most toxins. However, it does this is in a parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) way, which is important because sympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”) activity inhibits toxin elimination. This is why sweating from exercise does not detox the body like sweating from a sauna does.
• Increases strength and endurance – NIR has been shown to reduce muscle fatigue and increase growth hormone. Growth hormone increases muscle mass and break down of stored fat. It also increases nitric oxide, which increases blood flow to the muscles.
• Boosts energy – Mitochondria (the powerhouses of the cell) produce more ATP (cellular energy) when introduced to NIR.

Healing rays or radiation?

In contrast to near infrared, the clinic experience of the development team has found that all far infrared saunas emit very harmful electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This is the case for the metallic, ceramic, and black carbon emitters used in these saunas. Electromagnetic fields are one of the biggest stressors in our environment today, and even though sensitive people may acutely feel the effects, everyone’s health is affected by EMFs. This is analogous to the effects of junk food, where some people seem unaffected by it, while others immediately notice the effects on their bodies. Studies involving cell phones have concluded that EMFs:

• Damage DNA
• Increase cancer risk
• Cause significant effects on well-being and psychological test performance.

The energy from infrared saunas also reverses the natural polarity of the body, which is very harmful. To understand why, read Downward moving energy and healing.

The Radiate Sauna Tent is a portable tent designed for low-EMF, near infrared sauna therapy.
