How does Sauna works?

It has been about more than a week since I have updated this blog. So today, I'm going to share with you (Readers ^.^) about how does a Infrared Sauna and Steam Sauna works!

From the name Infrared Sauna, we can imply that the sauna actually uses infrared to operate.

From the scientific point of view, infrared ray is a form of electromagnetic spectrum, which has a wavelength of 5.6-15µm. As the wavelength is close to human body's radial which allows the body to absorb easily. 

The far infrared ray can penetrate 40mm deep into the human skins, so the recipient can receive an infrared massage, making cell tissues resonant, accelerate blood circulation and eliminate the impurities , result in both bio-thermal effect and physical effect. Thus, health will be improved.


From the image above, we can clearly see that the blood vessels are just beneath the skin, hence, the infrared can definitely reach the blood vessels as well as the tissues beneath your skin. 

Moreover, the infrared ray is able to penetrate through our skin and stimulates the movement of molecules in our body. When this happens, water (sweat) along with other toxins in our body will be washed out. 


So, do we all have a clearer idea of how does an infrared sauna works? 

I hope it's a yes! Otherwise, SingSauna.com is able to provide you with more information! 

Now, lets head over to how does Steam Sauna works!

For many of us, we find it hard to imagine burning charcoal, putting water over the fire to get steam and enjoy the steam! Many would consider this as the conventional type of sauna. True enough, these types of conventional sauna is dated back to hundred years ago! 


When the charcoal burns and water is added, the steam that is produced will usually rise. From the theory of physics, we know that hot air will rise and cool air sinks. However, the area where the user is seating is at the lower part of the sauna, hence, it takes a longer time to sweat in a conventional sauna than in infrared sauna! 

Now we can conclude which Sauna is better? :)
