Far-infrared light waves are part of the sun's
natural invisible light spectrum. Infrared waves
can't be seen, however, they are responsible for
the feeling of warmth we experience when we are
exposed to sunlight. To get an everyday example
of how far infrared heating works, picture yourself
outside on a sunny day - when you're standing
in a shadow, you feel cooler than when you're
standing in direct sunlight. The air temperature
around you hasn't really changed, but when you
are in the sunlight you feel the heat from the
infrared waves of the sun. Infrared should NOT
be confused with potentially harmful UV rays,
which can cause sun burns and have been linked
to skin cancer. In fact, Infrared allows you to
enjoy the warmth of the sun without the harmful
affects of the sun's UV light spectrum.
INFRARED
ENERGY
The
feeling of warmth that we get from the sun comes
from the sun's natural infrared energy. Infrared
saunas use the same spectrum of invisible light
energy to safely warm your skin and body tissues.
Infrared should NOT be confused with UV light
waves from the sun which are responsible for
sunburns and skin damage.
