Ceramic Sauna Vs. Carbon Infrared Suana

A sauna is a small room that provides an intense dry heat bath. In addition, they are relaxing and therapeutic; regular use can improve your health.
  1. Types

    • There are several types of saunas but the more common ones have ceramic and carbon infrared heaters. Both "ceramic" and "carbon" refer to the type of infrared heater used to heat the room.

    Ceramic

    • Ceramic saunas are beneficial because they emit the highest amount of electromagnetic waves, thus using energy more efficiently. Ceramic heaters are also dry. This is important because moisture can cause bacteria to build-up, which can then lead to health problems.

    Carbon Infrared

    • Carbon infrared saunas are less beneficial than ceramic. However, carbon infrared saunas are safer because the temperature is not as high, and there are no hot surfaces. You will not get the same soft tissue healing from carbon saunas as you do from ceramic saunas.

    Heat Speed and Surface Area

    • Ceramic saunas heat up slowly, and the heater has a large surface area. Carbon infrared saunas heat up quickly, and the heater has the largest surface area.

    Function

    • A sauna session can help with the reduction of toxins, skin rejuvenation and temporary relief from muscle pain.
