Most people don’t have the luxury of having a sauna in the comfort of their home so we usually have to go to the local gym or pool to enjoy the benefits of a sauna. And if you do have a sauna at home, you are definitely in the minority. There are dozens of options for saunas and the most popular are still the conventional saunas that heat atmospheric air around the body. But infrared saunas are starting to gain popularity and available in a number of styles and are an affordable option like the Sauna Dome Elite MetaChamber.
The normal operating range for conventional saunas is in the 180-230 degrees Fahrenheit range to be effective but those are some high numbers and most people tend to exit them before any of the desired effects can be produced. The Sauna Dome Elite MetaChamber uses infrared rays that heat the body directly meaning it operates at a lower temperate which ranges between 110-150 degrees Fahrenheit. And even though the body is heated to temperatures as high as 150, the heat producing panels of the MetaChamber will still remain warm to the touch and will not burn you.
And with infrared saunas like this one, under 20% of the infrared energy heats the air while over 80% directly translates into body heat meaning you can enjoy longer sessions in the sauna and it’s more efficient. This system may induce 2-3 times more sweat volume and can burn hundreds of calories in under 30 minutes of use. The system is also more effective as the infrared heat is able to penetrate the body 2 to 3 inches allowing the body to purge unwanted toxins and underlying fat with ease. This version features five heating pads within the dome and two in the mat that can be set to heat for as little as five minutes or up to two hours. The entire unit can collapse when needed, making it easy for storage.
Benefits of a Far Infrared Sauna Dome MetaChamber
As you sweat, pores will open up, and excess dirty and particles are washed out leaving your skin feeling clean and radiant. Increased circulation that is required to cool down your body also brings vital nutrients and proteins to the skins surface. Infrared saunas also cause the rate of blood circulation to increase similar to that of an exercise. The heart rate, metabolic rate, and cardiac output increase while diastolic blood pressure drops resulting in a stronger cardiovascular system and a more physically fit user. You can also burn up to 600 calories in a 30 minute session of sitting down! Sounds like crazy talk but they insist it’s true. Infrared Saunas are also known to dilate blood vessels which bring relief to muscles and soft tissue injuries.
The Far Infrared Sauna Dome MetaChamber is available on Amazon for $1,995.
