2 person infrared sauna heat

You cannot effectively detox in a 2 person infrared sauna without warming your front core. Many saunas on the market today leave the front heaters out for aesthetic reasons - a huge mistake in our opinion. Heaters are positioned so that they cover your full back area and the front heaters are positioned so that they are aimed at your front core.

They do an excellent job of warming your body core and raising your core body temperature. Is the far infrared heat directed where it's most needed? We have found that the problem with traditional carbon heaters is that, while they produce high quality infrared heat, they don't produce a lot of it and it is not concentrated on your body.

These heaters work well when they are within a few inches of your body as in some of the lay down infrared units, but not when they are in a large sauna cabin. The heaters run way up over your head and are really just heating the sauna cabin air. Because infrared heat travels in a straight line, you want to make sure that the heater directs the heat toward your body core, not just into the air around you. Reflected heat: you will see many heaters on the market that are a thin, single rod with a metal reflector behind it.
