FAR Infra Red Sauna

Ilanga saunas are manufactured in South Africa from good quality materials and good workmanship. Infra Red saunas are becoming increasingly popular worldwide as they are very economical to run (15 min heating time), very effective in helping sport injuries, joint stiffness, stress, muscle spasms, circulation, cellulite, skin conditions, weight loss, (burns 900+ calories in one 30 minute session) and excellent for home relaxation. Infra red is a safe way of simulating natural healing from the sun by using only the healthy rays' and excluding ultra violet and other harmful rays. Ceramic emitters produce heat waves compatible with our bodies (which radiate 3 - 50 microns, peaking at 9.4 μm) & penetrate body tissue up to 40 mm, removing toxins.

Ilanga saunas are easily assembled and dismantled allowing- your sauna to move house with you and become part of the family. Special features such as curved seats, towel rack, glass holders, aromatherapy dispenser, down lighters, Cd players & others can be built into our units. Materials & components used on our saunas are carefully selected for compatibility and ease of replacement, not for "Pretty Looks." South African Pine is used as it is the best coniferous timber for our climate. Timbers such as Nordic Pine, Hemlock Fir & Cedar are the overseas coniferous equivalents.

How a Far-Infrared Sauna Works

Far-infrared light waves are part of the sun's natural invisible light spectrum. Infrared waves can't be seen, however, they are responsible fro the feeling of warmth we experience when we are exposed to sunlight. To get and every day example of how far infrared heating works, picture yourself outside on a sunny day - when your 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 effects of the sun's UV light spectrum.

One of the most important characteristics of far-infrared waves is their ability to penetrate body tissue. When this happens, they create a natural resonance (vibration) that warms the tissues and will eventually cause us to sweat in the same manner we would if we were exposed to the high heat of a traditional sauna.

An infrared sauna uses one of several infrared heaters to generate far-infrared energy that gently warms your body directly through natural renounce in the same manner and biological process that allows you to feel warmth from the sun, as opposed to heating the air around your body (like a traditional sauna). Only about 20% of the energy produced by an infrared sauna goes into heating the air. Accordingly, less energy is wasted and deep tissue heating and profuse sweating is accomplished at far lower temperatures, making the infrared sauna much more comfortable than a traditional sauna. As a result, people susceptible to cardiovascular/breathing problems that might be exacerbated by the high heat and humidity of a traditional sauna, can safely enjoy, therapy for a greater duration of time. Furthermore, this manner of tissue warming penetrates deeper, thereby providing greater benefits than conventional saunas.

As noted, far-infrared light waves are completely natural and absolutely safe. In fact, far-infrared heat is so safe; it is used in hospitals to warm newborn infants.

Although infrared saunas are beneficial to our health, common sense & care should be taken when using them. Metal implants normally deflect infrared and silicone melts at 200°C. If on any special medication, or in doubt, consult your physician. Never splash water on the emitters and take caution as they are hot.
