*Buy before the end of August to take advantage of these exclusive offer prices!* Our selection of Infrared Saunas from the Health Sauna Company are the perfect way to unwind after a long day at work. Instead of using the traditional steam method of traditional saunas, the Infrared Saunas use heat only. This puts you more in control of the sauna’s precise temperature with your state of the art control panel, making the experience even more comfortable and relaxing. The potential health benefits of using a sauna on a regular basis are numerous: burning calories, pain relief, improvement of skin and the immune system, reduction in stress and fatigue levels, increase in blood circulation, the removal of toxins and mineral waste from the body, and aide to controlling weight. What better and more convenient way to exploit these benefits than to have an Infrared sauna of your own? We stock Infrared Sauna models that accommodate 1 to 4 people at a time. They come in a range of woods and finishes and are all easy to assemble and install in just 30 minutes! They plug straight into a 13amp socket, and are so economical to run and easy to relocate – they actually use about the same amount of electricity as a toaster! It also only takes between 10 to 15 minutes to pre heat, so you can get going almost as soon as you decide you want a sauna session. Each sauna also comes with an integrated entertainment system of a CD player and speakers for your enjoyment while letting the sauna’s heat do its work. The seating inside the sauna is also designed with your comfort in mind, with its back and side rests, as well as having colour therapy lighting in the Elegance, Finesse and Titania.
Enjoy the health benefits of a sauna all year round in the comfort of your own home, without the hassle of being restricted to gym opening times and memberships. In fact, daily usage of the infrared sauna will cost approximately £0.75p per month compared to £11.50 to £15.00 per month in a traditional sauna, if each is used for 20 minutes after warming-up*. Our Infrared Health Saunas offer you and your family greater health benefits than a traditional sauna because it uses heat, not steam. The heat emitted from the ceramic heaters penetrates the surface of your skin further than a conventional sauna, up to 45mm deep. This makes it easier for your body to cleanse itself of all the toxins that build up underneath the skin over time as a result of the busy modern lifestyle. Infrared heat is a completely safe form of energy - unlike the Ultra violet rays of sun beds - which heats objects naturally. This type of energy also helps the body to increase blood circulation and nourish damaged tissue. Every summer, we are reminded of the harmful effects of too much sun bathing and the dangers of not using skin protection. The Sun is obviously the main natural source of radiant Infrared energy, but has the drawbacks of harmful Ultra violet rays too. Our selection of Infrared saunas offer all the benefits of heat therapy, without any of the health risks. Your session should last no more than 30 minutes and be accompanied by drinking a bottle of water to keep you hydrated. As with all forms of therapy, you must take additional precautions if you are: are pregnant, generally unwell, severely ill, suffering from breathing difficulties, on drugs or medication, you must consult your Doctor to ensure you use the sauna in total safety. Further to the health benefits mentioned above, Infrared saunas can offer additional benefits to those who suffer with the following ailments attributed to poor circulation: • Arthritis • Back aches • Bursitis • Children’s overtired muscles • Fatigue stretch marks • Haemorrhoids • Menstrual cramps • Nervous tension • Neuritis • Strained muscles • Sciatica • Upset stomachs • Ulcers: after failings with conventional treatment • Varicose veins
In short, our saunas feature: • Colour therapy lighting or Star colour lighting (only with the Elegance, Finesse and Titania). • Ergonomic comfort back rest • Ioniser • Plugs straight into a standard socket • Radio and CD sound system • State of the art digital control panel • Short preheating time • Tempered glass • Towel rest • Easy assembly and disassembly The Science Bit Our saunas use infrared radiant energy to penetrate the body's tissues to a depth of over 1-1/2". Their energy output corresponds so closely to the body's own radiant energy that it absorbs close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach it. Conventional saunas rely on an indirect means of heat. First the air must be heated and rise from the stove and reach the user’s skin, where the convection heat heats the user’s skin by conduction. However, in our infrared saunas, less than 20% of the infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly absorbed by the body. As a result, an infrared-based system can warm its user(s) much more effectively and efficiently than a conventional sauna. The infrared from our saunas’ thermal systems can cause up to 2-3 times the sweat volume of a traditional sauna while operating at a much more comfortable air temperature range of 110° to 130°F compared to the range of 180° to 235°F in a traditional sauna. In fact, German researchers have reported beneficial effects from hour-long, whole-body infrared exposure in two groups of tested hypertensive patients that they studied in 1989, including a 24-hour long increase in peripheral blood flow and a beneficial decrease in blood pressure. It is also far less unpleasant to breathe air that is from 50°-125°F cooler while relaxing in a sauna. If you require, it is also possible to use the infra red sauna with the door open in the event that the only desired effect is for infrared penetration of the skin, or a very cool no-sweat experience (for example as a pre-activity warm-up while fully clothed). This approach might be used in warming-up prior to exercise or exposure to cold weather. * Not a calculation undertaken or endorsed by Home and Garden Gifts.
