The portable near infrared sauna is a very compact 40cm long x 43 cm wide and 108 cm high.

It is best used in a shower cubicle or bathtub as this creates an enclosure for heat retention and easy clean-up with no sweat stain issues. However as it can be used on its stand or hung anyone can use it in ANY space making this the most versatile unit on the market.

This is one of the primary benefits of a near infrared sauna. The average kilowatt-hour (kW-hr) cost in Queensland is about $0.23. That means that operating a device that uses 1 kW of electricity for 1 hour costs $0.23. Our 4 Lamp sauna uses 1000 W, or 1 kW so it is totally energy-efficient, only costing an average $0.23 per hour of use. Far infrared saunas use far more and require special wiring as a result.

In Australia we offer FREE two way shipping. If you are not happy with the unit within 30 days you can return it on us! The unit is very compact and light which means it ships in a single box. For NZ it’s approximately $75.

The lifespan of most bulbs is up to 5000 hours so you should be fine for some time to come. When the inevitable does happen and a bulb breaks or burns out replacement TheraBulb lamps can be purchased us or from the link on our website. These high quality lab tested bulbs will ship from the USA unless we have an abundance of stock.

No. Infrared is not the same as ultraviolet and there are no harmful ultraviolet rays in our near infrared saunas.

No. Our unit is wired so you can select 1, 2, 3, or all 4 bulbs to be on at one time. This helps you regulate the heat if you need to reduce it making your individual sessions more personalised and comfortable.

Yes. It’s been wired to allow for a single lamp to be used in isolation allowing you to treat knees, shoulders or various wounds or inflamed areas. Our newly redesigned cage is now on hinges providing even easier access.

Yes it will when used correctly. However, depending on your individual health status and toxicity it may take some time for your body to develop the normal sweat response which is often compromised in many people. Over time this will improve and vigorous sweat will occur. Occasionally hydration can be an issue or the ambient air temperature of the room. Using a smaller space or a space heater to pre-warm the area is a solution.

No. They uniquely provide primarily near, but also some mid and far infrared. This makes them the ideal solution for saunas as you get the benefits of the near infrared LIGHT and the benefits of the far infrared HEAT without the side effects of the EMF’s that most far infrared saunas emit as a result of their electrical wiring to their heating units. We are pround to exclusively use TheraBulb lamps as they have been clinically tested to confirm their output and irradiance levels which at the time of writing it unique to ONLY TheraBulb.

A little but with normal time usage they will not heat up enough to be a burn hazard which the lights most certainly are if they were to be touched.

The units are all proudly handmade in Queensland Australia by highly skilled craftsmen.

Yes you can with no problems at all should you need one.

Everyone is different and this depends on your circumstances. If in doubt less is better and you can work your session times up. Most people will use it for 15-30 minutes at a time and do one to two sessions per day. Seek medical advice from your health practitioner for correct usage for your circumstances.

Children under 6 should not use it. Children under 10 should be supervised.

Every several minutes you may wish to rotate to heat the body evenly. Some people find they only like to rotate once or twice during the sauna and this can help to increase the sweating effect. There is no correct number.

With alcohol, when dehydrated or if you are feeling faint. While in it if you stop sweating, feel faint, your heart starts to race or you feel unwell you should stop the session.

Drink 250ml to 500ml of water. You may wish to preheat the sauna before you start your session but this is not usually needed.

After a sauna session, shower off or you can towel off if you do not have time for a shower, although showering is best. Use as little soap as needed, and only a natural soap. Always relax after a sauna session to allow the body to readjust, about 10 to 15minutes. Do not go right back to daily activities. Drink some more water.

Yes and no. Nothing truly replaces exercise however the sauna will raise your heartbeat and get the blood flowing just like exercise. You will also sweat, lose weight, raise your metabolism and really pump the blood through the body. From this perspective and others like increasing your insulin sensitivity it can be an EXCELLENT alternative to exercise particularly for those with painful joints that can’t exercise or don’t want to for various reasons.

No. Some people have suggested NIR is bad for the eyes but this is simply not true with multiple studies showing the exact opposite that NIR is helpful for optic nerve issues, macular degeneration and other eye issues. With normal sauna use there is no issue. Brightness can be an issue so we don’t suggest staring into light. A simple sleep mask can be used should you be concerned.

It is best to wait at least one hour.

Yes and this is encouraged. When you sauna one of the effects is the raising of the body a couple of degrees which mimics fever. Fever is a natural body state used to help kill off infections so at the first sign of an infection sauna use can be very beneficial.

Some but if you use a quality sea salt on your meals and use kelp as a supplement there shouldn’t be any issues.

In general no you do not. You may get the heat benefits while clothed but red and near infrared light don’t penetrate clothing.

It is not recommended while pregnant. With breastfeeding it is also not suggested. The only exception would be if it is a matter of dire importance to the mother, such as in a case of cancer or another serious condition and advice should be sought from your medical practitioner.

The testicles should remain cooler than the rest of the body. Technically, it may be best to avoid direct infrared irradiation of the testicles if you are concerned about fertility and you may place a towel over them. However a study from Finland reported no evidence that hot air sauna use decreases sperm count in men.

You may wish to do this at times if the ambient air temperature is cool, but it is often not needed.

No. You should have not need to clean the actual unit. You may wish to be aware of sweat stains on the floor however and make good use of towels if you are not in a shower or bathtub. Wash the towels regularly.

Theoretically these could heat up in an infrared sauna, although we have not observed this. Begin with less time in the sauna, becoming aware of any unusual sensations in the area of the prostheses or pins.

Rarely, heating the body may alter the properties or effects of a medication. Consult the prescribing physician if this is a concern.

It is not recommended while pregnant. With breastfeeding it is also not suggested. The only exception would be if it is a matter of dire importance to the mother, such as in a case of cancer or another serious condition and advice should be sought from your medical practitioner.

Do not bring pets into a sauna as they often do not sweat as easily and may overheat in a sauna. One may use a single red infrared heat lamp to treat an infection, abscess or other local condition in an animal.

The unit comes with a hanging unit that is easily adjusted and explained in the manual. It can be hung in virtually any environment.

For the vast majority of people the portable sauna is effective on its own. However, if the air temperature around you is quite cool, this cold air can somewhat counteract the hyperthermic effect you are trying to achieve and an enclosure, while not absolutely essential, can be helpful and in this circumstance makes for a better experience. Approximately 95% of people will not need an enclosure. Pre-heating the air with a heater is also a simple solution.

Yes. Our unit is specifically designed to “plug and play”. There is no wiring that needs to be done, you simply plug it in and it is ready for use.
