Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does Royal sauna operates?
A: Human body fat starts to liquefy at 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 Celsius). When fat leaves your body through transpiration, it takes heavy metals along on the way out. The deep penetration of infrared energy in your skin makes this happen. This does not occur in a traditional sauna, only in an infrared sauna. Session temperature is between 40 Celsius to 55 Celsius is proved to be the most suitable temperature that for infrared ray to work very effectively. Infrared rays penetrate directly into people's body, allowing for a much more pleasant environmental temperature. That why even children, older people, or physically disabled people can enjoy the benefits of an infrared sauna.
In a traditional sauna people's body is warmed by the environmental heat. This requires temperatures of up to 170 to 210 degrees F (80 – 100 Celsius). It is different from infrared saunas because they are using different heating system.

Q: What is the optimum Far infrared frequency for an Far infrared sauna?
A: The Royal Saunas far infrared heaters give the best performance well within this vital wave range of 7 to 14 microns with a good portion of wavelengths at 9.4--which is the frequency at which a water molecule resonates or vibrates. This vibration causes a release of cellular toxins such as mercury, aluminum, cholesterol and other toxic gases.
Q: Is Infrared heat safe? Is it like a microwave or a tanning bed?
A: Infrared heat is completely safe. In fact, it is so safe, hospitals use similar heaters to warm newborns. Infrared heat is part of the very safe bandwidth of light, unlike ultraviolet (tanning beds) or microwaves. To learn more about Far infrared safety, click here.
