What Is the Difference Between a Traditional Sauna and a Far Infrared Sauna?

Recently, far infrared saunas have become the popular trend in spa and sauna technology. But what is the difference between far infrared saunas and their traditional counterparts? And why might you consider purchasing a far infrared sauna from Newcastle's JNH Lifestyles?

One of the bigger differences in these two sauna types is temperature. Traditional saunas usually create a relaxing environment with very high temperatures and lots of steam. Far infrared saunas, meanwhile, usually create a slightly lower temperature environment and use infrared rays to create steam instead.

Despite the lower temperatures, though, far infrared saunas still deliver most of the same benefits as traditional benefits. Because infrared saunas emit radiant energy beams, they can quickly provide heat directly to the muscles and the rest of the body—thereby causing the profuse sweating normally associated with saunas. In other words, while traditional saunas need extremely high temperatures to cause intense sweating and deep relaxation—because the body is getting all of the heat indirectly, from the steam—far infrared saunas can create the same basic experience at lower temperatures.

In other words, if you are trying to decide between purchasing a traditional sauna and a far infrared sauna for your home in Newcastle, you can expect the same benefits from both. However, if you are someone who normally struggles to stay in a sauna for a long time, just because you can't abide the high temperatures for too long, then you might love the lower-temperature sauna experience provided by far infrared technology.
