Beware The Invisible Light - Far Infrared Light Is Visible And Sauna Safe?

Should you worry about your safety when setting in an infrared sauna? The short answer is NO. Now let me explain some of the differences between good light and bad light.


Far Infrared energy is sunlight minus the UV light. UV light is part of the bad light that can damage your skin if over exposed. UV light is also light you cannot see. Far Infrared light is part of the natural light and is good light and is visible to our sight.


Light comes in different wavelengths. Ultraviolet light has a shot wavelength. Colors of light near red light have long wavelengths. The shorter the wavelength the more harmful it is to our bodies. The infrared sauna from West Coast Saunas uses Far Infrared light which is part of the sun light spectrum whose wavelength is just below the visible red light. Far Infrared light is good light.


The entire spectrum of sunlight consists of visible and invisible light rays. The colors of visible light rays are red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, and violet. The invisible light rays are Ultra Violet, X-rays, Gamma, Cosmic, Microwave, Long Wave, Electrical Wave and Infrared.


Electromagnetic waves between visible light and microwaves are called infrared waves. The wavelength of infrared waves range from 0.76 micron to 1,000 microns; this range is further subdivided into the ranges of Near, Medium, and Far-Infrared Rays with the following wavelengths: 0.76 to 1.5microns; 1.5 to 4 microns; and 4 to 1,000 microns respectively.


As stated earlier, the longer the wavelength the safer it is for our bodies. Far Infrared Rays are long and safe.


A sauna benefit of the Far Infrared Rays is that they are thermal. The thermal energy is what heats up the body causing it to sweat. Sweating is good for our body because it helps to rid our skin of toxins such as mercury, lead, alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol. An infrared sauna will help you detox.


This may be more than you ever wanted to know about good and bad light but now you know that using an infrared sauna is safe.

Sauna Benefits - Detoxification

Detoxification - An important sauna health benefit

Do you have a poor complexion? The use of a sauna is a great way to help the health of your skin and your body. The use of an infrared Sauna is good way to detoxify you body and bring you complexion back to health.

Toxins are stored in fat cells and the deep heat penetration of West Coast Saunas’ infrared technology removes these toxins from the fat cells. Detoxifying helps rid your body of potential carcinogenic heavy metals such as mercury and lead, as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol. You can cleanse your body with ease by detoxifying in a West Coast Sauna.

Through the use of your West Coast Sauna, the infrared heat will warm your body up which brings the blood close to your skin and dramatically increases circulation. According to Dr. Lawrence Wilson, this helps remove toxins from some hard to reach places like bones, sinuses, and teeth.

Many forms of bacteria are heat sensitive, so the heat from an infrared sauna can weaken or kill some of them. Also, cells damaged by toxic metals and chemicals are weaker than healthier cells. Exposure to some intense heat may be a death sentence for those weaker cells.

Sweating - An Important of Detoxification

Sweating caused by infrared sauna heat is a great way for removing toxins. As the largest organ of our body, the skin plays an essential role in eliminating unwanted toxins. Some doctors even consider our skin a third kidney. Many substances eliminated through your kidneys can be eliminated through your skin instead. In this way, sweating helps reduces the activity of your eliminative organs (liver, kidneys, and colon).

Sweating from exercise is not the same as sweating in an infrared sauna. Infrared saunas conserve your body’s energy by providing an external source of heat. This leaves more energy for detoxification.

Benefits of Sauna - Pain Relief

Pain Relief is one of the Benefits of Sauna Use


Infrared energy can penetrate up to 1.5” deep into muscle tissue and 93% of this energy is absorbed through our skin. The benefit of heating these tissues is that it relaxes the muscles cell’s which causes the blood vessels to widen. Dilating the blood vessels can help in reducing muscle spasms, joint stiffness and achiness, as well as general aches and pains due to conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Evidence also shows that when far infrared energy is used 24-48 hours after the injury the time it takes for sprains and strains to heal is reduced. You may also notice less swelling and reduced pain.


Benefits of sauna use include the radiant heat of a far infrared saunas which has been shown to be especially beneficial to people with sports injuries, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and other chronic pain conditions. A West Cost Sauna infrared sauna is ideal to help with your pain.

Far Infrared Sauna Benefits

Far Infrared Sauna VS. Conventional Sauna

Every wonder what the difference is between an infrared sauna and a conventional sauna? The big difference is the way the saunas are heated.

The infrared sauna is heated by far infrared heat which is used to directly penetrate the body's tissues and can reach a depth of over 1 1/2 inches right into the muscle. The energy output from the infrared sauna is tuned to correspond so closely to the body's own radiant energy that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin.

The conventional sauna or steam sauna relies only on indirect heat. You first need to heat the air currents and then be in direct contact with the hot air to produce its healing effects.

With Far Infrared heat and West Coast Saunas' unique Carbon Wave 360 Panels, less than 20% of the far infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. Therefore, a Far Infrared Sauna can warm its user(s) to a much greater depth much more efficiently than a conventional sauna.

So what sauna is the better sauna? For the reasons mentioned above, I choose the infrared sauna.
