Yes, Absolutely Safe!

Far infrared heat is a form of radiant energy. The sun is an example of the principle source of infrared radiant energy that we experience on a daily basis. All human bodies absorb, as well as emit, infrared radiant energy.

Infrared Sauna heat emitters produce a specific bandwidth of radiant energy that matches the vibrational frequency of the human body. This process is also known as resonant absorption. No harmful UV rays are emitted.

Rocky Mountain Saunas are the GREENEST, SAFEST infrared sauna available in the USA.

All our 120v wiring is EMF shielded. We have had Internationally Certified safe, Zero-Rated EMF carbon heater panels since the company's inception. We use NO chemicals, pesticides, or drying agents in the curing of our woods, but rather a proprietary herbal formula. All Sealants are organic, water-based, non-toxic, and non-outgassing.

Rocky Mountain Saunas are Internationally Certified by ETL, CE, RoHS, and ISO 9001 to be safe in every respect, having passed rigorous and stringent international standards.

Infrared Heat is Healthy, Natural, and a Safe Therapy for all living beings. Infrared Saunas simply produce a gentle and soothing heat which is almost instantly relaxing. Hospitals have been using infrared heat to warm newborn babies since the 1980’s.

With an infrared sauna, there is no danger of getting sunburned or drying out your skin. There are very few contraindications. Many users have joint replacements, contact lenses, breast augmentations, and cosmetic surgery.
