This document provides information on the benefits of near infrared saunas compared to traditional saunas. It discusses that near infrared saunas have lower costs, emit lower electromagnetic frequencies, and provide phototherapy benefits. Near infrared saunas can simultaneously provide heat stress and photo therapy. The document provides details on various health benefits of near infrared saunas such as enhanced circulation, detoxification, reduced pain, skin rejuvenation, and fat loss. It also provides specifications for a near infrared sauna product called Sauna Fix and test results demonstrating its safety.

 The Sauna Fix® with the patent pending radiant tent
requires no preheat and can heat up as hot as you like.
 NIR therapeutic range is between 100-120°, however, after
leaving the Sauna Fix® on all day the temperature has
reached 160°.

Enhances
Exercise
Due to increased production of ATP and quick dilation of the
microcirculatory system, a person can lessen warm-up time and
work at a higher level of exertion without increasing blood
pressure. (1,9,10)

6. 6
Promotes Endurance
Muscle fatigue was reduced by up to 42.2% when
exposing muscle to NIR. (5,6)

7. 7
The mitochondria (power plants of the cells)
produce more ATP (energy currency of the cells)
when NIR (near infrared) is introduced. (1,2)
Supports Metabolism

8. 8
Enhances Circulation
 Rotation promotes dramatic circulation
on all sides of the body, as the blood
shunts towards the heat lamps.
 Tissues become vasculated, producing
more sweat.
 The body becomes evenly heated from
rotation which assists the healing
process.

9. 9
Promotes Penetration
Near infrared heat lamps are far more powerful than most far infrared heat emitters, and all
the lamps are placed near each other on the sauna fixture to concentrate the heat source.
Research indicates that near infrared lamp energy penetrates deep inside the body.

10. 10
Detoxification
Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands, releasing
built-up toxins and waste. Sweat is the only way to remove certain
carcinogenic PCBs, dioxins, phthalates, and volatile organic
hydrocarbons. (11)

11. 11
Lower
Electromagnetic Frequencies
 Sauna Fix® has ultra low EMF readings of
less than 2 milligauss1
Far infrared saunas emit more harmful
electromagnetic fields compared to near
infrared. Those frequencies are in the
microwave spectrum and quite harmful.

13. 13
Promotes Recovery
Certain tissue regenerating genes
including integrins, laminin, gap
junction proteins and kinesin proteins
have shown a two- to five-fold
increase upon exposure to NIR. (7,8)

14. 14
Promotes Circulation to Muscles
NIR causes the release of nitric oxide. This
stimulates vasodilatation of the
microcirculatory system, bringing more
blood to the muscles. (4)

15. 15
Promotes Energy Production
NIR activates the color sensitive chemicals
(chromophores & cytochrome systems) to
depths of 23 centimetres (or about 10 inches),
stimulating the energy processes in cells. (1)

16. 16
Promotes Strength
Growth hormone release is induced by an increase in body temperature and not by
exercise itself. Growth hormone increases muscle mass, calcium retention, and
lipolysis (the breakdown of stored fat). (14)

17. 17
“…produces almost the same effect on shoulder joint range of motion as light exercise……shoulder
forward flexion and backward extension angles had significantly greater change rates….”13
Promotes Flexibility
13 Demura S., Noguchi T., and Matsuzawa J., Effect of Linear Polarized Near-infrared Irradiation on Flexibility of Shoulder and Ankle Joints
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16858211

18. 18
Reduces Pain
Penetrating heat from NIR has long been proven to reduce pain and
increase circulation to areas of discomfort. NIR has also been shown to
significantly increase the range of flexibility. (13)

19. 19
Adds Phototherapy
 Chromophores, the body’s near infrared light receptors
absorb and disperse light naturally throughout the body
for healing benefits.
 N.A.S.A. testing proves near infrared penetrates into the
body as much as 5 inches.
 630-800 nm of light travel through surface tissues and
muscles, are absorbed by mitochondria, and stimulate
energy within subcutaneous tissue, muscle and bone.
 Far infrared (≥4,000 nm) only heats up water molecules
within the body. Near Infrared bulbs emit 550-3400
nanometers of near infrared light.

20. 20
Reduces Cellulite
Cellulite is fat mixed with toxins that are trapped,
in part due to an underactive circulatory system.
Cellulite is so visible, in part due to weakened
connective tissue. NIR helps rebuild connective
tissue and has been shown to reduce cellulite. (12)

21. 21
Promotes Fat Loss
A group of 20 women riding stationary bicycles
3 times per week for 4 weeks exposed to NIR
lost an average of 8 cm’s or 444% more as
compared to 20 women doing the same
exercise without NIR. (3)

22. 22
DNA Synthesis of fibroblasts, which
affects the elasticity of skin, increase
five-fold with NIR. The result is
younger-looking, more beautiful skin.
(1,7)
Promotes Skin Rejuvenation

Sauna Fix® is the only design with UL listing status for the
United States and Canada
The complete Sauna Fix® assembly design was tested and listed, and as a whole carries the cUL mark,
approved by Underwriters Laboratories, and the CE mark.
Just using UL & CE listed components do not ensure product
safety or insurance coverage!
UL listed assemblies are the only fixtures approved for
commercial use.
The UL listed follow-up inspection service guarantees the Sauna Fix® continues to be manufactured in
compliance with the UL safety requirements.

Heat and Toxic Metals don’t mix!
• Electrical lamp sockets
• Clamp Lights
• Heat Lamp Light Fixtures
• Home made Sauna Light Panels
• Commercial Near Infrared Saunas
Heat lamps can release toxic vapours from
materials used in:
Exposure Risk: Aluminum, Nickel, Chromium
Sauna Fix® proprietary metal is free of Aluminum,
Nickel and Chromium and RoHS certified.

26. 26
Aluminum accumulates in the lungs, liver, thyroid, bone
and brain over a lifetime; and significantly increases in the
lungs and brain as we age.
Aluminum
Toxicity symptoms include flatulence, headaches, colic,
dryness of the skin and mucous membranes, tendencies
for colds, burning pain in the head relieved by food,
heartburn and an aversion to meat, paralytic muscular
conditions, loss of memory and mental confusion.

27. 27
Nickel usually accumulates in the kidneys and plays a
physiological role with hormones, lipid and membrane
metabolism.
Nickel
Nickel toxicity may be associated with: Intestinal cancer,
oral cancer, heart attack, hemorrhages, kidney
dysfunction, low blood pressure, malaise, muscle
tremors, tetany and paralysis, nausea, vomiting and skin
problems.

28. 28
Chronic poisoning is mainly from inhalation or skin
contact [Meditext 2005].
Chromium
“Lung cancer is the most serious long-term effect [Cohen and
Costa 1998; Lewis 2004; Meditext 2005]. Apart from the
carcinogenic potential, prolonged exposure can result in
bronchitis, rhinitis, or sinusitis or the formation of nasal mucosal
polyps. Besides the lungs and intestinal tract, the liver and kidney
are often target organs for chromate toxicity [Rom 2007].”

Cotton – Not the Safest Sauna
The World Health Organization classifies eight pesticides most commonly used on cotton as moderately to highly
hazardous. Traces of pesticides, herbicides and defoliants used to grow cotton “the dirtiest crop in the world” can
linger in the fabric even after washing and lead to a variety of health issues.
Avoid “all natural” cotton products and use only Organic cotton.

Wood pitch in most species contain terpene a Volatile
Organic Compound
Terpenes can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, alter
metal status, and even induce seizures and coma.
Aspiration is a particular concern with absorption
beginning in the oral cavity.
Even terpene free wood species have aromatic scents
that are unsuitable for some allergic and chemically
sensitive individuals
