The Healthmate saunas uses infrared sauna technology to heat the body directly without having to heat the air as in traditional steam saunas. The company makes some interesting claims, such as, the world’s best-selling infrared sauna, used by NASA and the U.S. Airforce and the grand daddy of them all: their sauna can burn up to 1000 calories in 30 minutes. Interesting.
Healthmate is quick to point out that infrared heat has nothing to do with ultraviolet or atomic radiation, which would provide the opposite of Healthmate saunas’ claimed health benefits, including detoxification, weight loss and holistic well being. All models are fitted with a Panasonic CD/tuner.
Price:$3500 for a single person unit, to $8250 for a five-person unit
