Infrared, more precisely infrared rays, are electromagnetic rays. Rays with a wavelength between 380 nm and 780 nm are visible light; longer wavelengths form infrared radiation. The sun's energy consists for the most part of the healthy, vital infrared radiation. When it hits the skin, it penetrates up to 4 mm and creates a so-called deep heat.
In an Infrared Sauna, a healthy sweating effect can be proven even at temperatures of 35°C - 45°C, without putting more strain on the circulation. The infrared radiation of the ATROPA Infrared Sauna spreads throughout our entire body and unfolds its healing effect there.
In contrast to a conventional sauna, infrared rays only heat the air by about 20%; 80% is absorbed by the body. This revitalizes the cells, stimulates blood circulation and the metabolism. This artificial fever promotes detoxification, a self-healing process is initiated.
The infrared radiation warms the bloodstream and it is distributed throughout the body. This increases the core body temperature. This creates a slight artificial fever effect and helps the immune system.
