Are sunlighten saunas safe?

Low EMF Levels Provide a Safe and Effective Sauna Experience Sunlighten Solocarbon heaters are the most effective—and the safest—infrared heaters on the market.

What is a safe EMF level for a sauna?

The EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) has proposed a safety standard of 3 mG. Sweden has also set a recommended safety limit of 3 mG. When EMF levels are measured inside your Jacuzzi® sauna all around your seated position, EMF levels are virtually undetectable.

Do steam saunas have EMF?

Today, traditional saunas employ the same approach except use wood stoves, electric heaters, or carbon or ceramic heating elements. These sort of saunas and steam rooms do not use any electromagnetic frequencies (EMF). Assuming a sauna’s been wired and installed correctly, there’s no reason to fear an electric field.

Is infrared sauna radiation safe?

In general, infrared saunas are considered safe for most people. However, if you’re on medications, have implanted medical devices, or have a medical condition — whether acute or chronic — you should be cautious.

What is an acceptable EMF reading?

In a study that measured EMF in almost 1000 homes in the United States, 50% had average EMF levels of 0.6 mG or less, and 95% had average EMF levels below 3 mG. Keep in mind that these are average EMF levels within a home.

Is EMF bad for your health?

High-frequency EMFs Remember, this is the type of radiation that’s potentially dangerous to your health. High levels of high-frequency EMFs can damage DNA and cells. Low levels of this radiation come from medical devices like X-ray imaging machines , and UV rays from tanning beds or the sun.

What are the negative effects of infrared radiation?

Prolonged exposure to IR radiation causes a gradual but irreversible opacity of the lens. Other forms of damage to the eye from IR exposure include scotoma, which is a loss of vision due to the damage to the retina. Even low-level IR absorption can cause symptoms such as redness of the eye, swelling, or hemorrhaging.

Why do I feel sick after infrared sauna?

Most facilities that offer infrared sauna treatments recommend using the sauna three to four days per week. If you are healthy and tolerate the four days, you can use the sauna daily.

What kind of EMF testing does sunlighten use?

Sunlighten undertakes comprehensive third-party testing of its saunas to ensure minimal electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure within safe limits. The tests are performed by VitaTech Electgromagnetics, LLC and the saunas are configured to comply with Swedish safety standards since the US does not have its own EMF safety standards.

How much EMF is in a sunlighten sauna?

For that reason, we have limited the levels of EMF from our heaters as much as possible. The EMF in a Sunlighten sauna is less than a standard hair dryer. The EMF attributable to a hair dryer at 6 inches away is about 300 mG. Our saunas have been measured between 0 and 10 mG. EMFs are measured in units called milligauss (mG).

How much EMF does a sunlighten hair dryer have?

The EMF in a Sunlighten sauna is less than a standard hair dryer. The EMF attributable to a hair dryer at 6 inches away is about 300 mG.

What kind of infrared heater does sunlighten use?

In 2005, Sunlighten launched its Signature series of sauna baths fitted with its patented Solocarbon far infrared heaters. This was followed by the introduction of Acoustic Resonance Therapy as an add-on feature, its mPulse range of saunas fitted with near (NIR), mid (MIR) and far (FIR) infrared heaters in a single product.
