WHAT IS FAR INFRARED?
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Did you know that every time you feel the sun’s rays, hear your favorite song on the radio, get an x-ray, or use the microwave, you’re using a different form of electromagnetic energy? The Electromagnetic Spectrum (EM) is used to explain energy that exists in our world, these energies are around us all the time, but we are only aware of a very small portion of them, visible light (or colors) and infrared energy (heat).You can also be over-exposed to another form of energy, ultraviolet or UV light, we feel this when we get sun burnt.
This is an infrared map of sea surface temperatures, with red being the warmest and purple the coldest. Infrared light is part of the suns invisible spectrum; the heat we feel is completely healthy, safe and essential for all living things.
• Infrared means ‘below the red’ i.e. lower in frequency, it’s the suns natural and safe energy that cannot be seen and is perceived as heat.
• Infrared waves are longer than light but shorter than radio waves; lying outside the visible spectrum at its red end.
• Infrared heat is also called ‘radiant’ heat. Radiant heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion without heating the air in between.
• The EM Spectrum is measured in microns or micrometers (a micron = 1000nm)
• Infrared (IR) is often subdivided into near IR (NIR) 0.076 to 1.5 microns, mid IR (MIR) 1.5 to 5.6 microns and far IR (FIR) 5.6 to 1000 microns.
• Far infrared energy is used in Medicine where Doctors use Infrared Lamps and heaters to help in the treatment of skin diseases, pain of sore muscles and also used on newborn baby's cribs in hospitals. Scientific advances pertaining to infrared have allowed buildings to keep cool even in the summer by using gold transparent films in the windows of large office buildings, and in consumer goods such as remote controls, children's robot toys, burglar alarms, radiant heaters and many more.
When infrared rays are absorbed by all living things, their temperature rises - not the surrounding air.
• FIR works so well because it can penetrate beyond the skin level up to 4cms (1-11/2 inches) and because our body consists of more than 70% of water, it works from heating inside to outside, this energizes and vibrates water molecules; perspiring more. Whereas conventional saunas are mostly absorbed at skin level and raise shin temperature.
.When FIR waves are applied, the water molecules are heated and start to vibrate; this vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms that are holding together the molecules of water. As the water molecules break down, this allows for deep cleansing to occur and the body may become rejuvenated.
Our New state of the art Baked Carbon panel heaters comprise of multiple heat sensors that are calibrated to ensure continuous FIR heat at a lower surface temperature than other infrared sauna heaters.The design of our Baked Carbon panel heaters allows for better performance well within the "Vital Range" of 7 to 14 microns with a good portion at 9.4, which is the frequency at which a water molecule resonates or vibrates. This optimal micron output also allows for deeper penetration of far-infrared heat, which may improve body conditioning and well being.The design of our Healthstart Far Infrared Saunas will ensure you are covered from head to toe with soft FIR heat and uses less power than other FIR saunas.
Using the latest CarbonTech heating panels we are able to produce the largest surface area coverage with the softest heat.

How Are CarbonTech™ Heater Panels Made?
Using the latest CarbonTech heating panels we are able to produce the largest surface area coverage with the softest heat.
The pictures below show how even the FIR heat is dispersed with our CarbonTech panels at low & high temperatures
Traditional saunas use steam and hot air; whereas FIR heat is a softer heat that warms your body directly providing you with a more relaxed and safe sauna experience
The body's ability to also emit FIR energy is the reason behind some alternative healing practices such as ' laying-on of hands' and 'palm healing', a practice with some 3000 years of tradition behind it in China 9known as (Q-Gong therapy). Our palms in fact emit far infrared heat at between 8 to 12 microns
All humans send and receive FIR waves. The range of far infrared waves generated by our bodies is 6-20 microns. The optimal micron output range is between 7-14 microns which is very close to the resonant frequency of water molecule. This similarity makes sense since our bodies are almost 70% water. This range sometimes called "Vital Rays" appears to have special rejuvenated effects on our body's.
This is an infrared image of a Jet Propulsion Lab engineer holding a burning match. The image is color-coded to show differences in temperature: note the white and deep red in the flame and the engineer’s palm (where his warm blood vessels are close to the surface of the skin) and the blue of his cool glasses. This picture demonstrates that infrared images predominantly show heat energy and its distribution.
Far Infrared is a form of radiant heat that gently heats objects directly without heating the surrounding air, like traditional saunas. People, plants and all living creatures naturally absorb and are warmed by infrared. Approximately 80% of the sun's rays fall into the infrared range.
Healthstart™ Saunas have been tested and approved by the following Safety Agencies;
RoHS Certified
The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". This Directive bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.
TUV Certified
An electrical product bearing the North American TUV Listed mark signifies that it was tested and meets the minimum requirements of prescribed product safety standards. The mark indicates that the manufacturer's production site conforms to a range of compliance measures and is subject to periodic follow-up inspections to verify continued conformance.
ETL AND ETL-C Safety Certified
Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL) was founded in 1896 by Thomas Edison, and is one of the oldest product safety testing laboratories in the world. Certification by ETL and ETL-C assures you that all Signature models have been tested to meet both US and Canadian safety and performance standards.
CE Certified
The CE Mark is a requirement for products sold to the European Market. The CE Mark identifies a product as complying with the health and safety requirements spelled out in European legislation and is mandatory for equipment operating in the European Union (EU).
C-Tick Certified
Before a product covered by the EMC regulatory arrangements can be sold in Australia it must be tested to applicable standards and labeled. The label comprises a C-Tick mark and a unique supplier identification. The C-Tick mark is intended for use on products that comply with EMC standards. The C-Tick mark is a certification trademark registered to the ACA by the Trademarks Office and is only to be used in accordance with conditions laid down by the ACA (Australian Communications Authority).
