FIR has the ability to penetrate, radiate and reflect. The body is able to absorb FIR because of its deep penetrating power. Far Infrared rays penetrate up to 2-inches deep into the subcutaneous tissues of the skin, transforming light energy into heat energy. This thermal effect causes blood vessels and capillaries to dilate; increasing blood circulation, boosting metabolism and immune response, detoxification, cardiovascular conditioning and weight control. Plus, the heat that is produced helps to rid the body of toxins and metabolic wastes by sweating them out.
The difference is Steam. The is none with Far-infaraed saunas.
