Introducing Maax 'Far Infrared Radiant' Saunas
So What is Far Infrared?
Far infrared radiant (FIR) is a naturally occurring, safe form of energy that heats by a process called direct light conversion. Unlike a traditional steam sauna that raises the surrounding air temperature to a very high level which some people find uncomfortable and have trouble breathing in, FIR saunas heat the body directly. This results in deeper tissue penetration between 50 - 75mm.
In an FIR sauna, your body perspires and receives all the health benefits without the discomfort of a traditional steam sauna.
A traditional steam sauna takes much longer to reach operating temperature and because it creates steam is more likely to cause bacteria build up.
An FIR sauna can reach operating temperature within 20 minutes and is much cleaner and only requires a standard 10amp plug.
A Forest Bath Fragrance
The MaaX FIR sauna is crafted from non toxic Hemlock. This beautiful timber has a natural fragrance and is considered a forest bath for it's ability to purify the air of pollutants, relieve stress and eliminate bacteria.
Hemlock is a very hardy and attractive timber and has a lifespan between 300 and 1000 years and is used in many applications and is sure to make your MaaX FIR sauna a focal point.
Soothing Sounds and Fingertip Controls
All MaaX FIR saunas come equipped with state of the art digital controls and surround sound, something that is impossible with a traditional steam sauna.
Health and Fitness Benefits
Better circulation and increased energy - The sauna emits FIR energy that is absorbed my human cells. This causes a physical phenomena called resonance. Cellular activity is instantly invigorated which results in better circulation and an overall improved metabolism.
Cardiovascular health - FIR saunas increase heat rate and blood circulation. The heart rate increases as more blood flow is diverted towards the extremities of the skin without heightening blood pressure.
Aid recovery from injuries - FIR generated heat stimulates dilation of peripheral blood vessels, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities and speeding the healing of sprains and strains.
Detoxification - The quicker metabolic rate causes extra toxic waste products to be purged from the body through the skin during perspiration. The skin is often referred to as the '3rd kidney' because it is believed to be responsible for eliminating 30% of the body's waste.
Weight loss - FIR saunas heat therapy can aid in weight loss programs by speeding up the metabolic process of vital organs and endocrine glands resulting in calorific loss.
Stress reduction and relaxation - FIR sauna heat treatment before a massage can help by creating an overall relaxing effect. It can loosen the muscle tissue so the therapist can do a thorough and effective massage.
Improved immune system - By creating an artificial fever, FIR heat has a positive effect on the immune system. Often misunderstood, fever is a natural healing response of the body. The function of the immune system is increased naturally during a fever while virus and bacterial growth is slowed. This helps the body ward off invading organisms. FIR heat treatment in the early stages of cold and flu has been known to stop the disease before the symptoms occur. Pregnant women should not use FIR treatment
