This latest health and beauty development provides all the conventional benefits of a sauna and more through lower temperature sun-simulating technology.

SaunaMed Infrared Saunas have been designed and developed to bring the whole Sauna experience to every home regardless of space and budget and with the wide range we have, there is something for everyone.

The SaunaMed Sauna range has been commended for its ease of construction and variety of models available. The purchase of an Aqualine Sauna can be made with confidence from a name you can trust.

‘What is Infra Red energy you may ask?’ It is the warm glow you feel on a sunny day, which comes directly from the sun’s rays. That is why you can feel a sharp drop when a cloud blocks these rays – even though the temperature in the air has not changed.

Far-infrared radiant heat is a completely safe from of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by a process called direct light called infrared heat or infrared energy.

The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all of this energy is beneficial. Although life needs energy from the sun, too much sunlight damages the skin. FIR heat provides many of the health benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation.

Absolutely, infrared saunas are safe to use without a doubt.! Infrared light energy is really beneficial and not at all damaging to the body. To illustrate the safety of the heater, Far Infrared heating is used in hospitals to warm newborn infants. Infrared has been researched and used in medical practices for many years. Sports medicine has long accepted and used infrared to promote healing of sprains and strains. NASA has also concluded after lengthy trails in the 1980's that infrared therapy is the best way for astronauts to maintain cardiovascular fitness on long cramped space flights.

Traditional Sauna Vs SaunaMed Far Infrared

Far Infrared Sauna Health Benefits

Our saunas are made from the Finest Grade Non-allergenic / Non-toxic Canadian Hemlock, or hand selected finest grade A Canadian Red Cedar, and are built with solid tongue-and-groove construction. They are compact, easy to assemble, they take only a few minutes to heat, plugs into a standard household plug, stands off the floor on 4 legs and won't damage your flooring. Also do not forget our proven strict quality management and wide range of accessories. All our infrared saunas are classed as Far Infrared saunas. This is the most beneficial infrared treatment for your health.

Because Far- Infrared Rays travel in a straight line, conventional Infrared heating elements cannot reach every part of your body. This is the main problem with carbon elements meaning the whole of the sauna interior has to be covered with this material. DuraWave™ pure ceramic Far-Infrared Heaters are coiled in a concave shape and use surgical-grade stainless steel wide-projection deflectors designed to concentrate and maximize infrared output towards the body. So no matter how you are positioned in a SaunaMed Sauna, whether you are directly in front of a heater or not, your whole body is effectively receiving the beneficial Far-Infrared Rays and there are no cold spots.

DuraWave™ Infrared Heaters use technology which encompasses 100% pure ceramic elements filled with lava sand to give the best heat distribution and include no chemicals or toxins.

All humans send and receive Far infrared waves. The range of waves generated by the human body is 6 to 20 microns. The optimal micron output range is between 7.5 and 15 microns which is very close to the resonant frequency of a water molecule. This similarity makes sense since our bodies are almost 70% water.

DuraWave™ infrared heaters have been designed and calibrated to target the vital wave range of 7.5 to 15 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, aluminium, cholesterol and other toxic gases such as sulphur and formaldehyde. This optimal micron output also allows for deeper penetration of Far infrared heat, which improves pain relief, detoxification, circulation, and increased peripheral blood flow. They are also designed to be safe to touch and comfortable to sit against.

Regular clinical tests demonstrate that DuraWave™ infrared heaters produce far-infrared rays close to perfection to work with the natural harmony of the human body resulting in increased health benefits. Often, many products have not been tested making it very difficult to verify their safety and peak infrared output wavelength.

Yes Far Infrared saunas which use pure ceramic concave shape emitters are backed by a long history, extensive medical research and results.

Far Infrared saunas using pure ceramic emitters have a long history (decades) of use, results, and confidence, not only by the manufacturers, but also by doctors and people who use them. Many of the books published, and research of naturopathic doctors have been based on the far infrared saunas using pure ceramic heating emitters.

DuraWave™ heating elements were also developed to solve the fundamental issue with the chemicals used in the production of carbon heating elements. Carbon heating elements, start as two pieces of flexible fibreglass (plastic resins and glass cloth). A thin conductive layer of carbon is printed onto the fibreglass, then fibreglass pressure laminated to complete the assembly. Through this process compounds of styrene, lead, iron, aluminium, zinc, boron and barium are introduced into the sauna. We found it absolutely unacceptable to introduce lead, and especially styrene in a therapeutic environment designed for detoxification.

Ceramic infrared sauna heaters are more advantageous as they heat up much faster, have a high emissivity and they are known for high levels of durability. Ceramic heaters are the most common and popular choice. Our DuraWave™ ceramic heaters are also very easy to ship and replace should a problem arise, unlike carbon heaters that can be awkward to ship and difficult to replace.

Far Infrared Saunas which use pure ceramic concave shape emitters are backed by a long history, extensive medical research and results. If you take a look around it is why the most experienced and health orientated companies use ceramic elements.

SaunaMed did consider developing carbon elements, however after extensive research we chose to stick with our very popular DuraWave™ elements due to the following findings;

• Carbon Infrared heating elements cannot reach every part of your body as the rays travel in a straight line. This is a problem meaning the whole of the sauna interior has to be covered with this material. DuraWave™ pure ceramic Far-Infrared Heaters are coiled in a concave shape and use surgical-grade stainless steel wide-projection deflectors designed to concentrate and maximize infrared output towards the body. So no matter how you are positioned in a SaunaMed Infrared Sauna, there are no cold spots.
• Infrared efficiency dropped dramatically when sitting more than 20cm away from the elements. Meaning much of the infrared heat sources are not warming the body efficiently but simply warming the air.
• The elements have to be thermostat controlled which meant that cabin temperatures would have to be much higher to produce any level of sweat production.
• To create the internal temperatures and Infrared flow required for the elements to be effective, the majority of the cabin interior needed to be lined with the black carbon elements, which was very dark and unsightly.
• Toxic chemicals are used in the production of carbon heating elements. Compounds of styrene, lead, iron, aluminium, zinc, boron and barium are introduced into the sauna. We found it absolutely unacceptable to introduce lead, and especially styrene in a therapeutic environment designed for detoxification.
• Wooden brackets holding the carbon heater panels in place created a trap for dust and bacteria and absorbed the infrared heat rather than your body.
• Sweat stains on the carbon elements were difficult to clean.

Many doctors and medical experts are advising the avoidance of exposure to high levels of EMR. EMR is short for electromagnetic radiation or sometimes known as electromagnetic fields (EMF) or electromagnetic energy (EME). Electromagnetic fields are created when electric current flows, such as using a hair dryer, microwave or cell phone.

Electro-magnetic fields (EMF) are a field of energy created by all electrically charged objects. EMF is given off by any appliance or transmission of AC (alternating current) electricity. Every day appliances around the home give off varying levels of EMF depending on their design and level of current. Items as varied as mobile phones, hairdryers, and electric tooth brushes to name but a few examples all give off EMF at some level.

SaunaMed Saunas are designed to be therapeutic environments with the lowest possible level of EMF however due to factors beyond our ability to control, such as your household wiring and other potential background sources of EMF such as Wi-Fi networks, we are unable to guarantee that there will be 0mG of EMF within your sauna cabin.

In designing the DuraWave heater technology that goes into every SaunaMed Sauna, our engineers have taken steps to significantly reduce the EMF given off by DuraWave heaters however it is possible that some EMF may be present within your sauna cabin given off by the heater elements.

Many people fear that EMF causes cancer however even a casual connection between EMFs and cancer has not been established and widely accepted by the scientific community. Your SaunaMed sauna is entirely safe to use just like any other household appliance. A typical hairdryer will give off five times more EMF than a DuraWave heater.

All known cancer inducing agents including radiation, certain chemicals and a few viruses act by breaking chemical bonds producing mutant strands of DNA. Not until the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum is reached, beyond visible light, and far beyond the infrared spectrum do photons have the energy required to break chemical bonds and as such there is no corroborated medical evidence to support EMFs given off by household appliances can increase the risk of cancer.

EMR Neutral infrared heaters by SaunaMed give off ultra low EMR, our patented technology ensures that you are never exposed to high levels of EMR in the sauna.

Our ceramic heaters are wired in a unique way so that the ‘neutral’ feed runs alongside the ‘live’ feed. This neutralises most of the radiation.

We are unable to guarantee that there will be 0mG of EMF within your sauna cabin but our technology reduces your exposure significantly.

SaunaMed is one of the most widely accepted sauna brands used by doctors and other health care professionals. Residential users receive exactly the same product that healthcare professionals use in professional environments.

*Please note that EMR Neutral™ heaters are designed to significantly reduce the exposure to radiation when compared to standard heaters. There may still be some small levels of EMR detected.

EMR Neutral™ heaters are used in all SaunaMed models.

An Oxygen Ioniser is a device that rids the air of dust, pollens, bacteria, and other pollutants. Inside your Infrared Sauna, Oxygen Ionisers purify the air by removing allergens, dander, and odors from your Infrared Sauna. Leaving your Infrared Sauna air fresh and clean.

Oxygen Ionizers work by creating an electrical charge to produce negative ions, which remove tiny partials from the air. The negative ions produced by Oxygen Ionizers seek out positive ions like pollen, bacteria, dust, mold, and so forth to bond. When the positive and negative ions bond, they become heavy dropping to the floor. The next step of course is to remember to clean out your Infrared Sauna every so often.

The small negative ions are identical to the ions found in the invigorating natural environments such as the seashore, alpine regions, forests and waterfalls.

Yes, it should take about thirty minutes. We provide you with an easy to read ‘step by step’ manual. Our saunas arrive flat packed in 2 large boxes, this also makes it easier to take with you if you ever decide to move house. All wall sections are made to fit together precisely, this ensures that our infrared saunas are very rigid and have a solid construction. Tools are also included at no extra cost.

An electrician is not required as our saunas simply plug into any household power point, they are delivered to you in kit-form and all wiring and accessories are already in place.

The sauna cabin is self-venting and requires no plumbing. There is a sliding vent to control the exhaust of hot air and the unit stands off the floor on 4 cleverly designed supports so no further venting is required and your floor remains protected.

Our saunas are supplied flat packed for assembly on site. Providing you can get the panels through any loft door etc. there will be no difficulty to assemble the cabin. By using advanced Far Infrared technology an Aqualine sauna can be installed in any room (even on carpet) and only requires a standard 13 Amp plug socket. Unlike old style steam saunas there is no need for venting, special wiring or special flooring. Your spare room, conservatory, garage or any spare space can become a centre for relaxation and wellness.

Only if installed in a garden building such as a summer house or a shed.

We have ensured that our saunas are silent to aid in your relaxation.

As with any form of exercise, it is important to build up a tolerance. Use a lower temperature (35°c) for about 15-20 minutes, initially 3 times a week. Once conditioned, many people enjoy daily sessions of up to 35 to 40 minutes.

We suggest beginning at 35°C and working up to the higher temperatures. It is often not necessary to reach maximum temperatures and most benefits are experienced at lower temperatures.

Yes you should do both, as well as drinking water during the sauna session. All our saunas include a handy drinks holder inside.

Due to the more controlled temperature and safe heating apparatus, far infrared saunas are beneficial to a wider variety of people. A healthcare professional should be consulted if you have specific health conditions, including pregnancy.

The older we get the more toxic we become. Many anti-ageing practitioners are now incorporating far infrared sauna therapy into their programs. It is important to note that most patients over sixty are dehydrated to some degree and this should be addressed by consuming fluids as instucted. Begin at 30°C and gradually increase the temperature.

The sauna can be used by all people due to its safe heating apparatus. If the sauna is used at all for children under ten, it should be used for a short duration at a low temperature (30-40°C) and ensure fluids are replaced through drinking plenty of water. Good results have been noted with autism and ADD/ADHD.

Not much at all, just give the glass door a wipe down, and change the light bulb when required. If a problem does occur we have qualified technicians available to speak with you, also a troubleshooting guide is included in the kit, if needed. The floor can be mopped out using warm water and disinfectant. The benches should be sponged down using warm soapy water. This must be used sparingly to avoid soaking the wood. If necessary, the heater can be switched on at a low temperature to assist with the drying out of the benches.

Our Canadian Hemlock wood does not give off toxins, under high temperatures, which pine and Sitka wood do. Our wood has a fine grain and virtually no knots, which eliminates the chances of splinting or any rough surfaces and gives a softer feel.

Hemlock is known for its natural strength and durability; it is naturally resistant to decay therefore ideal for sauna uses. Its longevity is 300 -1000 years, most other woods average 200 years. Hemlock is commonly used for bridge timbers, house sills; the grain patterns are dramatically beautiful so it is prized as material for flooring, panelling and trim. Hemlock is a strong, safe, very attractive and has an even grained wood texture.

Cedarwood gives off a pleasant aroma that can also have a therapeutic effect, as shown by thousands of years of tradition. When used for burning, cedar wood strengthens and harmonises, while the essential oil has a calming and soothing effect on nervous stress. The Indians used cedar wood for all respiratory problems as well as for arthritis, rashes and menstrual pain.

Ceramic heaters are more advantageous as they heat up much faster, have a high emissivity and they are known for high levels of durability. Ceramic heaters are the most common and popular choice.

We have perfected the manufacturing process to ensure that there are no toxins or chemicals within the sauna itself. We believe it is vital that our saunas provide a safe therapeutic environment for our customers to enjoy. To do this we have ensured that the wood used to build our cabins has not been treated with any chemicals. Instead we merely kiln dry the wood which helps it retain its naturally durability with no need for chemical treatment. We use only water based adhesives in the construction of the cabin as opposed to solvent based adhesives. We allow the natural density of the wood and an air gap between the panels to provide the insulation, no manufactured rock wool or mineral fibres are used. We use DuraWave Heating elements which are filled with lava sand and contain no chemicals in contrast to some carbon heating elements which can introduce lead and styrene into the therapeutic sauna environment.

We are so confident in the quality of our saunas that we offer a 5-year warranty on our wood and glass parts and 2 years on electric parts. If there is a fault with the sauna within this period, parts and simple replacement instructions will be sent out free of charge.

Yes, our saunas cost much less to operate and maintain. The Finest Grade Non-allergenic / Non-toxic Canadian Hemlock construction is best for your guests because as many as 15% of your guests may be allergic to sitka, pine and other timber. Also, the controllable temperature (18 - 65°C) will be healthier and safer for your guests.
