The History of Relax Saunas – A Journey from Innovation to Wellness

Relax Saunas is more than just a product line—it’s a story of innovation, precision, and dedication to health and healing. The history of Relax Saunas dates back over 25 years, beginning in Taiwan, where a group of dedicated scientists and medical professionals set out to create the world’s most effective far infrared sauna.

The breakthrough came in the form of patented semiconductor chip technology. Unlike conventional saunas that heat the air, these chips were designed to emit pure, medical-grade far infrared energy—the specific light wavelength that penetrates deeply into human tissue, promoting detoxification, pain relief, circulation, and cellular regeneration.

This unique technology laid the foundation for the Relax Sauna systems we know today. In 2002, Phillip A. Wilson, holistic health expert and owner of Momentum98 in Columbus, Ohio, discovered this technology at a natural products expo. Recognizing its power and potential, he partnered with the creators to bring Relax Saunas to the United States.

Since then, Relax Saunas have grown in popularity across North America and around the world. They are now used by holistic practitioners, chiropractors, naturopaths, athletes, and individuals looking to support their health naturally.

What sets Relax Saunas apart isn’t just the technology, but the commitment to quality, safety, and results. Each sauna is built for consistent output, low EMF, quick heat-up, and deep tissue penetration. The benefits include improved immune function, better circulation, reduced inflammation, and accelerated recovery.

Phillip Wilson has become the face and voice of Relax Saunas in the U.S., traveling extensively to health expos, giving talks, and sharing the science and testimonials behind this powerful technology. His dedication to wellness has made Relax Saunas a trusted name in far infrared therapy.

Today, Relax Saunas continues to lead the way in advanced far infrared healing, making this once-rare technology accessible to homes, clinics, and wellness centers across the globe.
