June 6, 2008, Newsletter Issue #115: The History of Infrared Saunas

Tip of the Week

Sauna technology has been used throughout history. There is record of the Finns using saunas for religious purposes, to cleanse the spirit and mind, and Native Americans sat in sweat lodges to purify their bodies and minds as well.

Although steam saunas have been around for a long time, far infrared ray technology originated in Japan in the 1960s, by a doctor named Tadashi Ishikowa. Dr. Ishikowa applied for and received a patent for zirconia infrared heaters in 1965, and from there on, infrared technology was used widely in Japan by health care practitioners.

The infrared technology was released to the public in 1979, and infrared saunas began selling in the Unites States in 1981. American researchers have refined and developed the technology further since the saunas have been marketed.

Detoxify with a Sunlight Sauna.

Sweating is the body's safe and natural way to heal and stay healthy. Sweat carries toxins out of the body and carries it through the pores.

Detoxification from a Sunlight Sauna is 7 to 10 times greater than a conventional sauna because it operates more effectively at temperatures 60 to 80 degrees lower than conventional saunas.
In a conventional sauna the average person sweats out 3% toxins and 97% water. In a Sunlight Sauna, the average person sweats out 20% toxins and 80% water!

Other health benefits of sweat with a Sunlight Sauna:
• Body and mind relaxation
• Pain relief
• Weight loss
• Blood circulation
• Skin purification
• Lower blood pressure
