Yes, since we are heating your body directly, a Rocky Mountain Saunas infrared sauna can produce 2X the actual sweat volume of a traditional sauna! Far infrared heat effects our bodies on the molecular level and has shown to be seven times more effective at detoxifying the body of heavy metals, including mercury and aluminum, as well as cholesterols, nicotine, alcohol, ammonia, sulfuric acid and other environmental toxins when compared to traditional, convection heat saunas.
