How Does a Far Infrared (FIR) Sauna Work?
FIR Sauna Benefits
FIR Sauna Dos and Don'ts / Contraindications
 Dos and Don'ts
In all situations, hydration is a requirement for sauna use. Drinking 12-16 ounces of water is recommended both before and after sauna use.
Do not apply body lotion to your body prior to a sauna session.
In the rare event that you experience pain and/or discomfort, immediately discontinue sauna use.
Contraindications
Medications
Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of
their personal physician or a pharmacist for possible changes in the
drugs' effects when the body is exposed to far infrared waves or elevated
body temperature. Diuretics, barbiturates, and beta-blockers may impair
the body's natural heat loss mechanisms. Some over-the-counter drugs
such as antihistamines may also cause the body to be more prone to heat
stroke.
Children
The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults.
This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited
circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands, and the inability
to regulate body temperature by sweating. Consult with a child's pediatrician before using a sauna.
The Elderly
The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This
is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland
function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling
processes in order to maintain core body temperature.
Cardiovascular Conditions
Individuals with cardiovascular conditions or problems (hypertension, hypotension, congestive heart failure, or impaired coronary circulation) or those who are taking medications which might affect blood pressure should exercise extreme caution when exposed to prolonged heat. Heat
stress increases cardiac output and blood flow due to the body's effort to transfer
internal body heat to the outside environment via the skin
(perspiration) and respiratory system. This takes place primarily due
to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential to increase
by 30 beats per minute for each degree of increase in core body
temperature.
Alcohol / Alcohol Abuse
Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to "sweat
out" a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person's judgment. Therefore this person may not realize it when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress.
Chronic Conditions / Diseases Associated with a Reduced Ability to Perspire
Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, central nervous system tumors, and
diabetes with neuropathy are conditions that are associated with
impaired sweating.
Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone to Bleeding
The use of infrared should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to
bleeding.
Fever
An individual that has a fever should not use a sauna.
Insensitivity to Heat
An individual that has insensitivity to heat should not use a sauna.
Pregnancy
Pregnant women should consult a physician before using a sauna because
fetal damage can occur with a certain elevated body temperature.
Menstruation
Heating of the lower back area of women during the menstrual period may
temporarily increase their menstrual flow. Some women endure this
process to gain the pain relief commonly associated with their cycle,
whereas others simply choose to avoid sauna use during that time of the
month.
Joint Injury
If you have a recent acute joint injury, it should not be heated for
the first 48 hours after an injury or until the hot and swollen
symptoms subside. If you have a joint or joints that are chronically
hot and swollen, these joints may respond poorly to vigorous heating of
any kind.
Enclosed Infections
Vigorous heating is strictly contraindicated in cases of enclosed
infections, be they dental, in joints, or in any other tissues.
Implants
Metal pins, rods, artificial joints, or any other surgical implants
generally reflect far infrared waves and thus are not heated by this
system. Nevertheless, you should consult your surgeon prior to using an
infrared sauna. Certainly the usage of an infrared sauna must be
discontinued if you experience pain near any such implants. Silicone
does absorb far infrared energy. Implanted silicone or silicone
prostheses for nose or ear replacement may be warmed by the
far infrared waves. Since silicone melts at over 200°C (392°F), it
should not be adversely affected by the usage of an infrared sauna. It
is still advised that you check with your surgeon and possibly a
representative from the implant manufacturer to be certain.
