Low EMF Infrared Sauna Therapy
Infrared sauna health benefits include stress relief, supporting heart health, shedding body fat, healthy detoxing, boosting immunity, natural pain relief, longevity, and more. Heat therapy has been used to relax, detoxify, and prevent medical issues by many cultures since ancient times. In Finland, saunas are a way of life. Some say the sauna is a poor man's pharmacy. Some examples include:
Infrared saunas increase the body’s core temperature thus resulting in a much deeper, more detoxifying sweat from the cellular level of the skin where many toxins are housed. Conventional hot rock/steam heat saunas heat the air with steam, which can often be unbearably hot and will cause you to only sweat at the surface of the tissue. Steam also makes the air difficult to breath. An infrared sauna uses soothing dry infrared heat that is well ventilated and extremely comfortable and relaxing. Infrared heat therapy has also been proven to assist with weight loss, pain relief, improved circulation and skin rejuvenation.
For an even greater understanding of the biological effects and also includes many scientific studies please set aside an hour for this seminar which is well worth the time: instantteleseminar.com/Events/125331285
I have included a slideshow with some of the content at the bottom of this page but it is much more in depth with more explanation in the actual seminar.
The skin is one of the four elimination organs of dietary and metabolic acids, along with respiration, urination and defecation. The skin is called The Third Kidney and unfortunately in our toxic, sedentary modern lives most people's skin and pores are inactive, not allowing proper elimination. Regular use of an IR sauna will help the skin to work properly.

Heat = Healing
When you regularly raise your core body temperature by a degree or two, you create hormesis, mild stress that is good for your body.
When this happens, your natural healing mechanisms are optimized.
Short-term intense stress makes you stronger and more adaptive.
Immune cells are stimulated. And bacteria, fungus, cancer, viruses, and yeasts are burned out.
A daily sweat is one of the best things you can do to stay healthy and to detoxify.
Infrared saunas penetrate deeper into your body, leading to more sweat—and the release of more toxins. Some other brands of IR saunas do not get hot enough. While researching which brand she would sell, Robyn Openshaw of GreenSmoothieGirl.com tried one IR sauna that did not even cause her to sweat at all! At the trial the company said it was not necessary to sweat 🙄. Robyn chose the Finnmark Designs sauna. Personally I start dripping sweat in our sauna within 10 minutes even when it is not fully up to the maximum 170F.
Weight Loss
Can you enhance your weight loss efforts by sitting in a sauna? Signs point to yes.
You can burn up to 600 calories in one 30-minute sauna session, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.1
Saunas heat your core body temperature, increasing your blood flow and heart rate (much like exercise)—which has been shown to help you lose weight.
Research conducted by Binghamton University found that, on average, participants who spent a 45-minute session in an infrared sauna 3 times a week lost 4% body fat in 16 weeks.2
Immunity
The heat from an infrared sauna increases your body's production of white blood cells—your immune system's first line of defense when infection strikes.
As mentioned above, infrared heaters raise your core body temperature, inducing an artificial fever.
Fever is the body’s natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response, so it can take the appropriate action against infectious agents, including viruses and bacteria.
The rise in body temperature also makes the body a less favorable host to viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. In studies, heat has been shown to destroy harmful germs and bacteria.3
A 1% increase in body temperature results in a 40% increase in immunity, according to Nobuhiro Yoshimizu, MD, PhD.4
Additionally, the heat shock proteins that are produced during infrared sauna use (when the sauna gets to therapeutic temperatures, as do Influence Saunas) have also been found to improve the immune system.5
And check out this Austrian study published in the Annals of Medicine: it showed that those who regularly used saunas had 30% less chance of getting a cold or the flu than those who didn't use saunas.6
Both my husband and I recently began to have a sore throat, after two sessions we both felt it was not progressing into a full blown cold. Two weeks later I had soreness on the outside of my throat, my left lymph gland was sore to touch. After half an hour in the sauna, the pain was gone! I was amazed. The pain returned slightly in a few hours but then was gone completely the next day.
Longevity
In a study of 2,315 Finnish men, those who used the sauna 4 to 7 times per week had a 40% reduction in mortality from all causes.7
Another thing: the heat causes activity in the FOXO3 gene, which is a master regulator gene—and is linked to longevity. 8,9
"FOXO3 affects the immune function, DNA repair, alleviating pain, and STEM CELL activation!8,9,10,11

Detoxification
In today’s world, your immune system is always up against an abundance of toxins—pesticides, toxic metals, environmental pollution, GMOs, and more. It’s impossible to avoid ALL toxins.
But you can help your body get rid of them.
Sweat is one of the major elimination channels for toxins. Many doctors recommend saunas for supporting your body's natural detoxification systems.
Higher sauna temperatures, like Influence Saunas give you, produce more heat shock proteins, which help detoxify your body at the cellular level.
Toxicologists have shown that sweating is a major method of excreting pesticides12 and toxic metals,13 including cadmium, lead, and aluminum. Health care professionals are using IR sauna heat therapy for Lyme Disease sufferers.
Studies have also shown that saunas can help rid the body of Bisphenol A (BPA).14 Additionally, sauna therapy has proven to be useful for people with mold exposure and mycotoxins.15
Our Spectrum heaters penetrate deep, close to 3", detoxing into your muscle and fat, allowing your body to flush out more fat-soluble toxins, heavy metals, and other harmful substances.
Pain & Inflammation
Many sauna users report that their muscles and pain felt better, even after one sauna session.
A study conducted by the Department of Dermatology and Institute of Medical Research showed that near-infrared heat therapy helped 2 key factors in easing pain — alleviating inflammation and reducing swelling.16
And, notably, a Japanese study showed that chronic pain patients experienced a nearly 70% reduction in pain after the first session of infrared sauna therapy.17
Our Spectrum Plus heaters were designed and placed to offer the most healing benefits possible, penetrating deep into your muscles for relief.
Beauty
Using a sauna regularly can improve the look and texture of your skin.
Far infrared wavelengths have been shown to impact two essential ingredients to healthy skin — increasing the production of collagen (making the skin more supple) and elastic (making it more flexible).18
Far infrared wavelengths also improve the delivery of nutrients to the skin by increasing blood flow.
Saunas may be able to help:
- Purify skin
- Reduce wrinkles
- Improve stretch marks and cellulite
- Treat and prevent acne and blackheads
One of the most profound and proven sauna health benefits is for cardiovascular health.
In 1981, the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported that regular sauna use “may be as effective as a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning calories as regular exercise.”19
In addition, a large, prospective study conducted in Finland showed saunas to be beneficial for preventing cardiovascular deaths.
In the study, compared to men who never use the sauna, frequent sauna users (4-7 times per week) were 50% less likely to die from cardiovascular-related causes.20

Spectrum Watt Density
Watt Density is the heat flowing out from each square inch of the effective heating surface. Watt density, expressed in watts per square inch of heater surface area, determines the heater's operating temperature for a given set of conditions.
So many infrared sauna companies don't calculate watt density when engineering their saunas.
The result is slow heat up times, coupled with customers complaining they don't sweat. After all, you are purchasing a device that was specifically built to make you sweat.
Influence Sauna spent a lot of time and research and performed many calculations to offer the most effective and highest watt density sauna on the market today. Achieving 55% more infrared heat than all competitor heaters tested.

Contraindications & Precautions
If any of the following apply to you, consult your physician before using a sauna:
- Cardiovascular Issues, Obesity, or Diabetes—Individuals with obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before use. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment via the skin (perspiration) and the respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential to increase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature.
- Medications—Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their physician since some medications may induce drowsiness, while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation. Diuretics, barbiturates, and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. Anticholinergics, such as amitriptyline, may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent, heatstroke. Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heatstroke.
- Alcohol and Drug Abuse—Contrary to popular belief, it’s not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgment. Therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications before a sauna session may lead to unconsciousness.
- Elderly—The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes to maintain core body temperature. If you are elderly, operate your sauna at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.
- Children—Children’s core body temperature rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands, and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. When using your sauna with a child, operate it at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.
- Chronic Conditions / Diseases Associated With Reduced Ability To Sweat Or Perspire — Multiple sclerosis, central nervous system tumors, and diabetes with neuropathy are associated with impaired sweating. Consult a physician before using a sauna.
- Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone To Bleeding—The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding.
- Fever and Insensitivity to Heat—Individuals with insensitivity to heat or who have a fever should not use the sauna until the fever subsides.
- Pregnancy—Pregnant women should consult a physician before using an infrared sauna.
- Menstruation—Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase menstrual flow. This should NOT prevent you from using a sauna.
- Joint Injury—Recent (acute) joint injury should not be heated for the first 48 hours or until the swollen symptoms subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.
- Implants—Metal pins, rods, artificial joints, or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are NOT heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician before using a sauna.
- Pacemakers / Defibrillators—The magnets used to assemble our saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doctor the possible risks this may cause.
- History of Fainting / Syncope
- Kidney Disease
- High Blood Pressure
- Low Blood Pressure
- Liver Disease
- Anemia
- Seizures
- Lymphedema
