Posted by pink on November 29, 2008
When you I feel very stressed out, I wish I could just go to a sauna and relax my mind and body. There are actually different types of saunas. This includes Infrared lamp saunas, Conventional saunas and Far infrared saunas. So let’s focus on far infrared sauna. So how is it different from conventional saunas? Far infrared is claimed to heat tissue three times as much as conventional saunas.

In today’s hectic, fast-paced environment, infrared saunas provide a safe, effective way to relax and unwind after a long, hard day. Besides the obvious stress-busting advantages, FIR saunas have been linked to a wide range of health benefits to increase our overall well-being:
The heat from infrared saunas penetrates deep into the body, helping to loosen the toxins that are then emitted from the body through sweating.
Infrared heat has been effectively used as therapeutic treatment for arthritis, joint stiffness, back pain, and deep tissue injuries.
They have been linked to improved circulation, which promotes a healthy heart and overall improved fitness levels.
Infrared personal saunas are much more cost-effective to operate than traditional saunas, costing just pennies an hour.
They have been linked to accelerated weight loss, burning up to 1,000 calories an hour.
Saunas using far infrared heaters are preferred by many athletes as a way of aiding in muscle recovery after strenuous workouts.

Readers planning to buy a sauna should beware of the so-called infrared saunas, most of which are made in the PRC (China) from inferior materials. These are not genuine saunas in the Scandinavian style.
In the traditional heater, the heating elements heat the air and a mass of stones. This allows for a consistent heat and the custom of sprinkling water on the stones, which changes the environment in the sauna dramatically.
The infrared heaters have exposed heating elements, so that the heat radiates directly onto the bather in sort of a one sided fashion. These infrared heaters have a much lower capacity, so the most common complaint is that they fail to attain the heat typical for a genuine sauna, especially on the part of the body turned away from the heater.
You also sacrifice the ability to sprinkle water on the heater, and one must question whether it’s actually healthy to expose one’s self to such direct radiation, or how enjoyable such an experience is, compared to the traditional sauna.
In contrast, the traditional Scandinavian style saunas are centuries old (they were heated with wood before electricity), and their safety and therapeutic efficacy is well established.
As with tainted toothpaste, poisonous pet food and lead painted children’s toys, some of these infrared saunas are downright hazardous at least according to the Electrical Safety Authority in Ontario, Canada. See…

There are some unbelievable claims circulating about infrared saunas. One regards weight loss – 600 to 800 calories burned from sitting in one! Weight loss claims for any type of sauna are just hype. Your body just loses water, and it’s dangerous to lose weight through dehydration. See what a real doctor says about it at…
