Infrared is actually a type of light. It is used in the infrared saunas to heat up the body of the person in the sauna and not the air. Unlike in the traditional sauna, in the infrared sauna the respiratory system is not exposed to the high heat. The infrared saunas have more affect in less time. Therefore, along with health benefits the infrared saunas also save time.

The saunas with infrared technology are more beneficial because heat penetrates deeper into the skin which leads to removal of toxins, alcohol, nicotine and metals. Also it is beneficial for people suffering from chronic fatigue as well as for cancer patients.
