What is Head Lice?
The head louse is a wingless parasitic insect that lives and breeds on your head. Head lice (plural of louse) feed by biting the scalp and drawing an extremely small amount of blood as its source of nourishment. Head lice are crawling insects and cannot jump, hop or fly.

Nits are the small yellow-white, oval shaped eggs that are found "glued" at the base of the hair shaft. They are approximately the size of a sesame seed. You cannot "catch" nits - they are only laid by LIVE lice. Once laid, a nit takes approximately 7 to 10 days to hatch and another 7 to 10 days for the female lice to begin laying their own eggs. The average life span of the louse is approximately 30 days and the female lice can lay up to 100 eggs in their life span.
Who Can Get Head LiceAnyone can get head lice. Head lice is easily spread by physical head-to-head contact with another person that has head lice. It can also be spread by:
- sharing headwear such as hats, baseball caps and toques
- laying on a pillow or area that was used by another person that has head lice
Remember, head lice are wingless and cannot fly, jump or hop. |

The far infrared sauna has also shown to be very effective for weight loss. These portable home saunas allow you to relax and experience the health benefits in the comfort of your own home.

Far Infrared Saunas vs. Conventional Saunas
A conventional sauna must rely only on indirect means of heat: first, on convection (air currents) and then, conduction (direct contact of hot air with the skin) to produce its heating effect on us. In a far infrared sauna, less than 20% of the infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. Thus an infrared sauna can warm its user to a much greater depth and much more efficiently than a conventional sauna. This crucial difference explains many of the unprecedented health benefits reported to be available through a far infrared sauna that are not attainable through a conventional sauna.
The infrared energy applied in these saunas may induce up to 2 - 3 times the sweat volume of a hot-air sauna. They operate at a significantly cooler air temperature range of 110° to 130°F vs. 180° to 235°F in a conventional sauna. The lower heat range is safer for those concerned about cardiovascular risk factors that might be encountered in old-style hot-air sauna
Far Infrared - Information
The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into three segments by wavelength, measured in microns or micrometers(a micron = 1/1,000,000 of a meter) : 0.076 to 1.5 microns = near or close; 1.5 to 5.6 = middle or intermediate; 5.6 to 1,000 = far or long wave infrared. The far infrared segment of the electromagnetic spectrum occurs just below, or "infra" to red light as the next lowest energy band. This band of light is not visible to human eyes but we can, however, feel this type of light, which we perceive as heat.When warmed, the earth radiates infrared rays in the 7 to 14 micron bands with its peak output at 10 microns. Our palms emit infrared energy at between 8 to 14 microns. The Soft Heat® sauna heaters emit the majority of their output in the long band from 5.6 to 25 microns. The output is evenly spread around the 9.4 micron pivot point of peak human output. The energy output from the infrared sauna corresponds so closely to the body's radiant energy that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin.
