If you thought adding a sauna to your home was only a dream, think again. The handsome Infusion two-person infrared sauna offers an affordable way to bring healing infrared heat to your home, and it's easy to install--it even plugs right into a standard 110-volt electrical outlet. It measures 44 by 48 by 72 inches (LxWxH) and comfortably seats one or two people. It features a natural hardwood construction and offers a tempered glass door and bench seating. It's easy to assemble--just snap the panels together. You can adjust the temperature and timer via the electronic digital control panel. It also includes a magazine rack, reading lamp, and an AM/FM stereo with a CD player, so you can enjoy your favorite relaxing tunes as you lounge in the luxurious heat. (NOTE: This sauna requires a 20 AMP dedicated outlet.) An infrared sauna produces dry heat and a lower temperature (between 120 and 150 degrees), which increases tolerance for longer sessions in the sauna. This infrared-powered sauna is safe to use (it's the same energy received by the sun) and will not cause tanning or promote skin cancer. The sauna's heat can help detoxify the body, cleanse the skin, soothe aching joints, and it may help boost your immune system.
The profuse sweating achieved in the infrared sauna carries off deeply embedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and immaculately clean. The deep heat of an infrared sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. In Europe, radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering form many forms of arthritis.
Long sessions of 30 minutes can also burn calories. According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, in a single sauna session you may burn as many calories as you would rowing or jogging for 30 minutes (approximately 500 calories). Saunas have been traditionally used by European beauticians to help eliminate cellulite.
