Simply Saunas supply both traditional saunas (with a stove to provide heat) and infrared saunas (a new
technology whereby infrared ceramic bulbs are used to provide heat).
There is a vast amount of information available online about traditional saunas - but less so for infrared. Here we provide an overview of the advantages of infrared and the health benefits of saunas in general.

Our infrared saunas cost less to operate because they use very little energy - about the same amount used by a hair dryer or toaster oven. Also it takes only 5 to 10 minutes to preheat, not the 30 to 60 minutes required by traditional saunas. |

Infrared saunas operate at safer, more comfortable temperatures than other saunas, around 43 to 54 °C. Its radiant heat reaches deep, into your body producing 2 to 3 times more sweat than other saunas. This allows you to sit in comfort for as long as you want, feeling warm and relaxed. It also means that you can breathe easily without the burning feeling normally associated with traditional saunas
Traditional saunas rely on a stove to heat the air to as hot as 95. C. The energy they require can as much as double your electricity bills and to be effective, this superheated air must remain tightly enclosed,
resulting in a stifling, suffocating environment. In contrast, our saunas give you the choice of letting in fresh air to circulate for ventilation and maximum comfort. |

As you relax in the gentle heat of the infrared sauna, your body is actually hard at work, producing sweat, pumping blood – and burning calories. In a single sauna session you may burn as many calories as you would rowing or jogging for 30 minutes. So you lose weight and fat – not water. |

As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops, improving overall cardiovascular fitness.
“Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular systems, not to build big leg muscles. Regular use of a sauna may impart similar stress on the cardiovascular system and its regular use may be as effective as a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular exercise. A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500gms in a sauna, consuming nearly 300 calories."

The deep heat of your infrared sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles, so that they recover faster. Muscles relax most readily when tissues are warm, for greater flexibility and range of motion and as our saunas penetrate 3 times as deep as traditional saunas, they are more effective. |

Radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering from many forms of arthritis. In addition, it has been proven effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other muscular-skeletal ailments. Much of the stiffness, aches and soreness that comes with aging can be reduced or eliminated with regular use of our saunas. |

Our saunas help clear ugly cellulite, the gel-like lumps of fat, water and debris trapped in pockets beneath the skin. European beauty specialists routinely incorporate daily saunas in programs to reduce cellulite. And because the radiant heat of the infrared sauna warms three times as deeply as conventional saunas, it is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite. |

Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of an accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals (lead, mercury, zinc, nickel, cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulphuric acid and cholesterol. |

The profuse sweating achieved after just a few minutes in the infrared sauna carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and immaculately clean. Increased circulation draws your skin's own natural nutrients to the surface. You'll see improved tone, elasticity, texture and fresh colour.
Increased blood circulation has also been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions and cuts. In addition, open wounds heal more quickly, reducing scarring. |

Sauna's deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. As it works to combat the "fever," your body's immune system is strengthened. Combined with the elimination of toxins and wastes produced by the intense sweating, your overall health and resistance to disease is increased. |

Perhaps the most immediate relief your infrared sauna offers is simple relaxation, as it melts away the stresses and tensions of a busy life. Just a few minutes in the gentle warmth of your infrared sauna gives you an overall massaging effect, soothing jangled nerves and knotted muscles. You'll feel rejuvenated and renewed, restored in both body and mind. |
