The present invention provides a far infrared heat emitting article for a sauna. The article includes a heating element, for emitting far infrared heat in the far infrared wavelength range. It also includes a supporting-encapsulating element, for supporting the heating element thereon and for encapsulating the heating element therein, able to distribute the far infrared heat substantially evenly thereover. The article further includes a heat-dispersing coating, extending over and coating the supporting-encapsulating element, able to substantially evenly disperse the emitted far infrared heat therefrom.
