Saunas Compared

The Relax Far Infrared Sauna is equipped with advanced ceramic semiconductor chips, each precisely engineered to emit far infrared light within the 4.4 to 14.4 micron wavelength range. This specific range is ideal for human absorption, ensuring optimal therapeutic benefits. With a total of 40 such chips integrated into its dual radiators, the Relax Sauna delivers exceptionally pure and potent far infrared energy, distinguishing it from other saunas on the market.

Many infrared saunas utilize carbon panel heaters, which consist of carbon-impregnated fabric that is electrically heated to emit far infrared radiation. While these panels are commonly used, they present several concerns:

  1. Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Exposure: Carbon panels can emit higher levels of EMF, potentially exposing users to electromagnetic frequencies that may be harmful.

  2. Lower Far Infrared Emission: Compared to other heating technologies, carbon panels often produce milder levels of far infrared radiation, which may result in less effective therapy.

  3. Reduced Sweating Efficiency: Due to their lower heat output, carbon panel saunas may not induce sweating as quickly or profusely as other sauna technologies, potentially diminishing detoxification benefits.

In contrast, the Relax Saunas employ advanced semiconductor chip technology, delivering higher and cleaner levels of far infrared radiation. This results in more efficient heating, deeper tissue penetration, and a more effective sauna experience.

An apt analogy would be comparing a bicycle to a motorcycle: while both serve the purpose of transportation, the motorcycle offers greater speed and efficiency. Similarly, the Relax Sauna's technology provides a more potent and effective infrared therapy compared to traditional carbon panel saunas.

The images above showcase various far infrared saunas. The first image depicts an imitation sauna available on eBay, designed to resemble the Relax Sauna but differing significantly in its method of generating far infrared energy. The middle image reveals the interior of this imitation sauna, highlighting a carbon panel situated behind the chair. The final image presents a wooden sauna equipped with similar carbon panels.

Unlike the Relax Sauna, which utilizes advanced ceramic semiconductor technology to produce high-quality far infrared radiation, these alternative models rely on carbon panels. Carbon panels typically emit far lower levels of far infrared energy and may expose users to higher electromagnetic fields (EMF). Consequently, they often fail to induce the rapid and healthy sweating that the Relax Sauna's technology provides.

Testimonials

"Now I know the Relax infrared sauna does not look impressive, making it hard to believe that the best is not necessarily the most expensive and nicest looking one. Especially when you compare the Relax Sauna to the beautiful wooden saunas that have built-in stereos, lighting and that spa-like feeling. I understand your gut reaction.

For the last 10 years I have turned my nose up at the Relax Sauna every time I saw them at the health conferences until this last year when I tried one. I was sold on the Relax Sauna within the first 3 minutes! Right away I could feel the difference. No preheating like with the wooden saunas. In the Relax Sauna, I experienced instant relaxation from the higher quality infrared." - Rebecca J Harder, author of Gastra Girl, Director of Colon Care in Portland, Oregon

“I used to go to a spa to use a big wooden sauna and I never got results like these! Even though the Relax Sauna costs far less, it does much more! Many thanks!”- Diana K

“In other saunas, like wooden ones, I have to sit 30+ minutes to work up a decent sweat, leaving me feeling sick and weak and my heart rate gets a little too rapid. This one squeezes every drop of sweat out of me before I have the chance to get to that point! I can only do about 15-20 minutes because it is so effective and powerful.” - Breanna W

“The Relax Far Infrared Sauna that I purchased at the show is awesome. I have been looking for the best sauna for awhile now. It is the “real deal” and as far as I know this unit is the only one with medical device technology in the states. I especially love the flexibility of the sauna. The most important feature is that this particular sauna has a patented semi-conductor chip (which is the differentiating factor) which allows the absorbable FIR energy - the good 4-14 microns at temps up to 140-170 degrees - good for the body and with no harmful near and medium infrared rays. Other far infrared devices do not have this semiconductor chip and hence do not generate far infrared light at high temps.

"The amazing thing is that even though one sits in high temperatures, it is extremely comfortable. It is uniquely compatible with our energy and easily absorbed by the human body. You can actually feel its healing properties while sitting in the sauna. I have learned so much since using this sauna. I plan on purchasing another unit soon for a second location I am opening.” - M.A.
