BENEFITS OF A CANADIAN SPA INFRARED SAUNA VERSUS A TRADITIONAL SAUNA:-
 

HARNESSING THE SUN'S VITALITY:-

Sunlight is vital for life. While 40% of the sun's rays are of the harmful, high energy and ultraviolet variety - which we are all encouraged to avoid - some 60% are infrared rays which are beneficial to the human body. The Canadian Spa Sauna is an infrared sauna room which harnesses these 'good' far-Infrared (FIR) rays. Regular use will tone the skin, increase blood circulation and improve all the organic functions.

Unlike traditional saunas, the Canadian Spa infrared sauna is steam-less and highly effective at comfortable temperatures. It is also quick to assemble, space and energy efficient. You'll love the way this superbly crafted sauna engages all your senses and offers soothing relaxation. Better still, you¹ll be amazed at the health giving benefits it offers to you and your family.

The Canadian Spa Sauna can . . .

- Aid weight loss
- Reduce signs of ageing
- Fight cellulite
- Give natural pain relief
- Strengthen your cardiovascular system
- Boost your mood
- Improve your immune system
- Fight insomnia, jet lag and hangovers
- Promote healing (i.e. sports injuries)
- Prevent injuries (through effective warm-up)

INSTALLING YOUR CANADIAN SPA SAUNA:-

Before you start:

- Two people will be required to assemble your Sauna.
- Make sure the mains are earthed and a RCD is in line.
- This Sauna is for indoor installation use only and requires a location on solid, level ground.

Be Safe . . .

- Before taking a sauna, drink plenty of water and no alcohol.
- Select appropriate time and temperature levels. Do not be tempted to stay in too long, or at too high a temperature - particularly if you are new to sauna bathing.
- Children and the elderly should always be supervised in the sauna.
- After 2 hours continuous use, switch off the sauna and let it rest for one hour before re-using.
- Do not put clothes or towel on or close to the heater elements.
- Do not touch the heater elements.
- Do not touch ceiling light.
- Haemophiliacs, pregnant women - or those who think they may be pregnant - are advised not to use any form of heat treatment, including an infrared sauna.

BENEFITS OF INFRA RED:-

How will Infrared work for you? Infrared is the healthy part of sunlight. Sunlight includes ultraviolet and infrared rays. Visible sunlight is in the middle of the spectrum. At a higher frequency, the visible light changes to ultraviolet rays - which can cause sunburn. At a lower frequency, however, sunlight changes to gentle far-infrared rays (FIR). It is these rays that allow the sun to warm you, even on a cold winter's day.

Infrared rays at the 6-14 micron frequency range are the most therapeutic to the body. The Candian Spa Sauna infrared elements are designed to operate within this range to maximize the effectiveness of your therapy. These infrared rays penetrate the body safely and comfortably up to 4.5cm, so even the deep tissues and organs are stimulated. This prompts the body to perspire far more than in a traditional sauna - enabling the more inaccessible impurities to be eliminated from the body at a comfortable temperature.

Cardiovascular workout:-

As your body temperature increases, sweat is produced to cool you and your heart works harder to circulate the blood. By widening the blood vessels and enriching your blood with oxygen you feel more energetic and your skin achieves a beautiful, relaxing glow. Regular use of a sauna may impact a similar stress on the cardiovascular system as running and its regular use may be as effective at burning calories.

Detoxification:-

Extensive research on the therapeutic uses of Far-infrared (FIR) has been carried out by Japanese researcher, Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki. In her book, The Science of Far-Infrared Therapies, she describes FIRs ability to remove toxins, which are often at the core of so many health problems. The human body is a 'bio-accumulator' which means that toxins which are not expelled immediately after entry are stored. Accumulations of these toxins impair blood circulation and cellular energy. By applying 7 to 14 micron FIR waves, trapped gases and other toxic materials are released.

According to another eminent researcher in the field, Dr Tsu-Tsair Oliver Chi: "These rays are selectively absorbed by tissues needing a boost in their output. The internal production of infrared energy is associated with a variety of healing responses and may require a boost to a maximal level to insure the fullest healing response possible in a tissue that is being repaired. After boosting a tissue¹s level to its maximum. The remaining rays pass onwards harmlessly. "

Consumer familiarity with far-infrared began with the use of infrared heat lamps, producing radiant heat. In the mid-1960s NASA discovered that a number of mineral oxides were capable of generating FIR waves. After using various FIR products in the space programme, no further developments occurred at NASA, but the Japanese identified other uses . . .

Today, more than150 patents have been granted to the Japanese for products such as: FIR saunas, FIR ovens that replace microwaves, FIR panels for incubators in maternity wards as well as FIR wave-generating ceramics and fabrics. Over the past 35 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have conducted extensive research on infrared treatments and report numerous benefits. In Japan, there is an Infrared Society, composed of medical doctors and physical therapists, to further research and support the health benefits of infrared as a method of healing. 

The secret of the Infrared Sauna is in the delicate control the user has over the infrared output. Infrared Sauna infrared therapy enables you to perspire comfortably and safely at temperatures as low as 32-40°C! A Canadian Spa Sauna offers unsurpassed levels of comfort and uninterrupted infrared therapy over the entire session.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs):-

Is infrared really safe?
Absolutely! Infrared light energy is beneficial and not at all damaging to the body. Infrared has been researched and used in medical practices for many years. Many maternity wards in hospitals use infrared lamps to warm newborn babies. Sports medicine has long accepted and used infrared to promote healing of sprains and strains. NASA has also concluded after lengthy trails in the 1980¹s that infrared therapy is the best way for astronauts to maintain cardiovascular fitness on long cramped space flights.

Why do you sweat up to three times more in an infrared sauna when it is less than half the temperature of a traditional saunas or steam room?
Because infrared is a radiant source of heat. This means it warms our body directly, rather than having to warm the air first - similar to the sun warming our body on a cold winter's day.

This is a major difference between an Infrared sauna and a traditional sauna. There is no need for very hot air that can cause respiratory problems and dizziness. Infrared only expends 20% of its energy on heating the air - 80% directly warms the body to a depth of 4.5cms.

This deep penetration of warming radiant heat produces up to three times more perspiration and therefore stimulates the deeper tissues and organ to release stored fat and toxins. The beneficial resonant absorption and the low temperature allow for easier removal of toxins and fat within the perspiration, leaving the user feeling cleansed and energised.

How do I burn calories and get a cardiovascular workout by sitting in an infrared sauna?
When our body heats up, the heart pumps blood faster around the body and to the extremities of the body. Muscles worked during exercise produce heat, and the body needs to compensate. The best defence the body has to overheating is sweating because sweat evaporates from the skin taking the heat with it.

Our body expends energy to produce sweat - 1g of sweat requires 0.586 kcal. A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off up to 1000gms or more in a single sauna session the equivalent in sweat to run 10 -15kms. So, by sitting in the Canadian Spa Sauna your body will start to sweat, raise the heart rate and dilate the capillaries and other parts of the cardiovascular system - offering many of the same cardiovascular benefits as from running or rowing.

Why does the Infrared Sauna remove up to six times more stored fat and toxins from your body?
This is due to the radiant heat stimulating the deep tissues and organs to release stored fat and accumulated toxins.

Scientific studies show that a 30 minute session in an infrared sauna can assist in the loss of toxins and stored fats by up to six times the level of a traditional sauna - or that of exercise alone - can achieve. The Canadian Spa Infrared Sauna gives the body an opportunity to release through the skin, the 'third kidney' in Chinese medicine.

How often can I use my Infrared Sauna?
As with any form of exercise, it is important to build up a tolerance. Use a lower temperature (35°c) for about 15-20 minutes, initially 3 times in a week. Once conditioned, many people enjoy daily sessions of up to 35 to 40 minutes.

Can anyone use an Infrared Sauna?
With just a few exceptions, this is a safe and enjoyable treatment for people of all ages. However, anyone with specific health conditions should consult their doctor before using. This includes those suffering from low blood pressure - although medical research has shown that infrared therapy is beneficial for training the cardiovascular system. Haemophiliacs and pregnant women - or those who think they may be pregnant - are advised not to use any form of heat treatment, including an infrared saunas.

Is the Infrared Sauna really effective for pain relief?
Relief from arthritic joints and lower back pain is a common benefit for many people. Research has also shown infrared therapy to effectively manage all manner of muscular and skeletal aches and pains. One of the main reasons for this is its ability to dilate the capillaries in areas associated with pains, allowing oxygen-rich blood to bathe the area and flush away metabolic waste that builds up and contributes to the pain, soreness and stiffness. Many people who have had trouble sleeping from pain and stress have found deep restful sleep.

How will using the Sauna benefit my skin?
Infrared heat helps develop the body¹s capillary network. This increases the blood circulation to your skins surface. Together with infrared heat¹s super cleaning effect, you will see a noticeable improvement in your skins texture, complexion and tone.

How does regular use of the Sauna reduce cellulite?
European beauty specialists regularly incorporate sessions in programmes to reduce cellulite. Because the radiant infrared heat penetrates three times as deeply as conventional saunas, it is significantly more effective at breaking down hard to move cellulite and promoting a more youthful, beautiful complexion.
