What is Far Infrared?

Far Infrared rays are part of the radiant light Earth receives from the Sun. This band of light is not visible to the human eye. However, we "feel" this light which we perceive as "heat." If, for example, a cloud passes in front of the Sun it will block some of the Infrared rays so you will feel cooler even though the air temperature has not changed. The same thing happens when you sit under a shade tree. You feel cooler because less of the Sun's Far Infrared rays can reach you.

The Sun is the greatest source of Infrared and all life requires Far Infrared heat. Our bodies send and receive Far Infrared and this "radiant" heat can be felt when we place our palms near our face.
Far Infrared is not the same as ultra violet light (UV). In fact, Far Infrared actually reverses the damaging effects of UV light on the skin.

The Health Mate Infrared Sauna produces Far Infrared heat and, just like the natural sun, it heats objects directly without heating the surrounding air. These waves of heat promote healing by increasing blood flow, improving oxygenation, reducing inflammation, and removing toxins. Far Infrared is the most beneficial of all the solar rays for our health.
