Why Infrared?
INFRARED V’S CONVENTIONAL
Traditional saunas are designed to have hot air, usually by burning a substance, trapped inside its unit to create an unusually warm atmosphere where the person would quickly begin to sweat. Their bodies would be releasing much moisture out of their body which they thought to be “cleansing”. But as we now know, they were releasing salt from their bodies rather than “toxins”. As traditional wood burning to hot-rock stove steam saunas only heated the surface temperature greatly, the only sweat coming out of the users’ bodies would normally be a reaction to keep itself cool. Too much salt contained in the body is bad, but what about those toxins?

Bosse offer a five year warranty |
Our modern saunas of the New Age complete what people think by doing just that; “true cleansing”. Since Bosse far-infrared heat will penetrate your tissues and open up your pores, by the time you sweat you will ultimately release metallic toxins as well as salt and sweat 3 times more in here than a traditional sauna. Why suffer hotness and stuffiness just to sweat? With a Bosse sauna, that is solved, its soothing radiant heat does not dry out the air or make you feel nauseous. You not only have to think anymore that sweating may be a good thing for you. But when you sweat correctly, you will know the difference for yourself and understand why Bosse saunas are so important. Our units look a bit more pleasant than a sand-mound; at least we think.
