The following explains how you can get the most out of your Infrared Sauna:

1. If you are taking any medication or have any health problems such heart disease, consult your physician before using infrared saunas. Don?t use the sauna right after exercising. You should relax and let your heart and breathing return to normal. As well, do not eat a heavy meal prior to use because you may get sick to your stomach and your blood will also be aiding digestion instead of strongly circulating throughout the body. Remove any jewelry containing metal as they can get quite hot. Make sure you have gone to the bathroom before going into the sauna so you do not interrupt the session.

2. When you go into the sauna, you should begin by sitting on the lower bench. If you feel dizzy or ill at anytime while in the sauna, you should immediately exit the room. If it is your first time, you should gradually get use to the environment by sitting for about 15 minutes at a time. Work your way up to the upper benches as you get accustomed to the heat. As well, maintain a lower temperature so that you can adjust to the temperature better and not feel faint or ill. Avoid taking alcohol and drugs and make sure you have a bottle of water available after you are done sitting. (more…)

On the program a new age native American has a sauna set up where he charges people to enter the sauna and allow the steam to release the toxins from the body and the mind. As the men are in the sauna sweating they all start having dreams or even hallucinations.

One man sees how he thinks he is going to die, riding a motorcycle through a giant donut. The steam has shown him his weakness for food will be his end. The sauna steam show one man, a pest exterminator, dying at the hands of a large insect. The other man is simply at peace at his job in his hallucination selling propane grills.

His mind is clear and there are no toxins to drive out by the steam and heat. The old man in the sauna heater is a world war two vet who killed many enemies in the war. His guilt comes back to haunt him as he sweats in the sauna. He sees the men he killed in the war as he hallucinates. He runs out of the sauna blaming his son, the propane grill salesman, for taking him into the sauna. (more…)

First question one would ask is how much area would I have to devote to a sauna room? Take for example 2-person saunas. Once set up it only takes a four” by four” space. They can be plugged into a daily outlet, and heat up rather quickly and efficiently. Another consideration is how many people will be using the sauna at once? Ultimately how much actual space you have to devote to this space and the area you would like to position your sauna in will determine what size you get.

If ALL of your space is at a premium and it?s hard to figure out room in your house for a sauna space, contemplate a movable sauna. They are about the size of an overstuffed chair and fold neatly into a giant flat suitcase. Then when not in use, you can store them in a closet or beneath your bed. These are glorious for individuals living in studio or small apartments. I have been able to actually see one of these in action, and that they work very nicely. The ONLY draw back that I can see is that they are not going to look as nice as a hemlock or cedar sauna.

Another thought for placement of a sauna room area is outside. There are tons of outdoor sauna kits available, and these are simply just as nice as the inside units. They are assembled in a few hours and are extremely watertight. The outside type and style of saunas that I favor are the ones that have exterior finishes made out of bamboo. Besides looking really nice, the outside finishes are extremely rugged to any or all what the outside weather can throw at them. They are therefore nice looking and when they are assembled and together, they appear like a custom piece. (more…)

Unlike an electric blanket, the biomat pad does not get hot when turned on. But when you lie down on it, it warms your body from the inside out, stimulating your system. The Biomat also does not give off harmful electromagnetic waves like electric blankets and heating pads. It comes with a control box that converts AC to DC, using only 12 volts of electricity. The Biomat receives far infrared and negative ion vibratory signals through a high-tech Texas Instruments computer system. Biomat state-of-the-art technology works without electric coils or magnets, both shown to weaken cellular vitality. Biomat signals are sent into an amethyst crystal bed via a remote messaging system.

What are air ions? In nature, there exists both positively charged ions (posions) and negatively charged ions (negions). These molecules have powerful effects on human biology, both negatively and positively affecting us. Although common sense would suggest that Positive ions would have a positive effect and Negative ions a negative effect- the opposite is true. Negative ions, specifically negatively charged oxygen molcules (different than ozone), have been shown to have beneficial effects on human health. What is a negative ion? A negative ion is a molecule with a negative charge assigned to it. Negative ions occur commonly throughout nature and can create an overall sense of well-being. (more…)
