How Do Portable Infrared Saunas Work?

Every since portable infrared ray saunas landed on the market everyone seems to be in love with them. They are handily portable and quite affordable.

All of this infrared ray sauna buzz is a direct result of two important and unique features of these portable saunas. First, they are portable, so you can take them everywhere you travel. All you need is a duffel bag, or anything really, as long as its roughly the size of a suitcase. Second, they are very efficient at what they do. The average person can burn as many calories sitting in their portable infrared sauna reading a magazine for 30 minutes that they can running 2-3 miles.

It only takes a few minutes in a portable sauna to experience pain relief in the joints and muscles. Infrared sauna often lead to a mild workout high of the sort that comes after long periods of physical exertion. This is a direct result of endorphins. According to scientists in the Czech Republic, the endorphins are released during infrared sauna use.

As a result of everyday living we accumulate toxins in our bodies. Experts are saying that we have over 400 new toxins today that didn't even exist 45 years ago (Dr. Steve Nugent, 2003.) This is a trend that portable infrared saunas have been proven to be a major contributor in reversing this trend and removing many of the toxins in our bodies' cells.

The list of toxins we are continually accumulating is long with things like chlorine or lead being high on the chart. Water molecules absorb these toxins and move throughout the body causing worsened blood flow and lessened energy. Infrared heat functions to break the water molecules apart. This frees the toxins and allows the body to remove them.

Water molecules vibrate at roughly 9400 micrometers. Portable infrared saunas emit rays at that same level, which is beneficial for humans. Our bodies are 60% water which makes these infrared saunas very efficient for detox and relaxation.

One of the major effects of the deep penetrating infrared heat is a relaxing of internal muscles and organs. There are few better ways to escape the stresses of daily life than with a session in one of these portable saunas.

It is a wonder no one came up with these sooner. They are so effective at what they do and are easy to bring everywhere you go. At around three-hundred dollars apiece they are a steal.
