In what ways is an infrared sauna better than a traditional sauna?

Infrared heat penetrates the human body faster and deeper than the humid surface heat typical of a traditional sauna. Infrared saunas also use less energy to operate, heat up more quickly and are more effective at lower temperatures, making it easier for some to tolerate the heat for longer periods of time. Infrared heat causes the body to produce 3 times more perspiration, removing 4 times more toxins and waste.
