Infrared sauna is claimed to be safe and beneficial in that heat penetrates more than 1.5 inches (40 mm) into the body. The infrared rays help loosen toxins from fat cells into the body and those toxins are flushes out of the body through sweating. Thus infrared Sauna heals and stimulates tissues and is considered a very effective therapy for arthritis and injuries to tissue.
