No, Infrared Saunas operate at a lower temperature than traditional saunas. They also work by warming you directly, rather than the air around you, creating a deeper detoxifying sweat. 

A lot actually. Because Canadian Red Cedar is the preferred material for building  saunas, we export logs to Asia, where they’re often made into Saunas. At Backyard Canada we’ve tested these saunas, and as you might expect, the components are often sub-standard, including flimsy doors that don’t retain heat, straps that buckle when tightened, infrared panels with excessive EMF and other details that make these saunas less than desirable over the long term. 

Made in Canada means, that these saunas were made from Canadian materials in Canada! With an eye on long term performance, and backed by a lifetime warranty! 

Research indicates that they are very good for detoxification. Particularly heavy metal detoxification, which has lead many fire departments to include infrared saunas in their detoxification protocol. Many of the other health claimed by Infrared saunas are assumed, based on studies of traditional saunas by the Finnish Government. These benefits include a longer life, a longer health span (healthy part of your life), cardiovascular benefits, activation of heat shock proteins and more.
