Pine Run Pools success is by keeping on top of the latest and best products out there. They are introducing what’s called a new wave, Infrared Portable Saunas. It is a unique portable whole-body radiant thermal system proven to provide more effective health benefits than conventional sauna systems. Health conscious persons will find this is to be answer to many health issues. Those interested in the environment will find that a 25 minute session costs about five cents of electricity, daily usage only $1.50 a month compared to $22.00-$30.00 month in a conventional sauna.

The Infrared system provides heat rays from the infrared energy fields. It is the same radiant heat energy that the sun uses to warm us without the suns harmful effects. The radiant heat from the infrared sauna has been proven to directly penetrate the body’s tissue to a depth of over 1 ½ inches. Its energy corresponds very closely to our own radiant heat energy causing our bodies to absorb greater than 90% of the infrared waves that reach our skin. This is the unique crucial difference from conventional saunas which must rely only on indirect means of heat, first warming the air between the system and the user and then only allowing the direct heat to touch the skin, superficially heating the skin without deep penetration.

Japanese and Chinese Researchers have known of this radiant infrared heat source for ages and have comprised a team of medical doctors and physical therapist called the “Infrared Society”. They do further research and support the numerous health benefits of infrared as a healing method. There have been over 700,000 infrared thermal systems sold in the Orient for whole-body treatments, and an additional 30 million people have received localized infrared treatments in the Orient, Europe and Australia. In Germany physicians have been using infrared therapies for over 80 years to treat skin disorders such as psoriasis and eczema, control pain from arthritic conditions and stiff joints, and increasing blood flow to tissues and organs creating many more benefits.

Dr. Sherry Rogers, a fellow of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and a diplomat of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, says in her book “Detoxify or Die” that infrared sauna is the only way of removing man-made toxins from your body. The infrared rays help knock toxins loose from fat cells into the body, and those toxins are then released through sweating. This heals and stimulates the tissues while decreasing the toxic load thus contributing to better health and vitality. Dr. Rogers also states that bio-accumulated toxic load in the human body is responsible for all disease not attributable to bacteria or virus.

The weight loss, weight control and cardiovascular conditioning created by the usage of the infrared sauna make it a pivotal factor in providing a healthy lifestyle. Two of the highest calorie-consuming forms of exercise are rowing and marathon running. Peak output on a rowing machine or during marathon run burns about 600 calories in 30 minutes. An Infrared Thermal System may enhance this effect from “just slightly” up to as much as 250%, by burning about 900-2500 calories in a 30 minute sitting session. The Infrared Thermal System might then stimulate the consumption of energy equal to that expended in a 6-9 mile run during only one session. This would be very valuable for those who don’t exercise yet want an effective weight control and fitness maintenance program and the cardiovascular benefits of regular exercise.
