How To Select The Right Sauna For You!

Congratulations on your decision to acquire a sauna for your home! There are several important factors you must consider before choosing a sauna, such as:

  • Number of seats/ability to recline
  • Available floor space (see chart, below, for power needs and footprint of the models we recommend)
  • Wood types (mahogany, basswood, Canadian hemlock)
  • Indoor/outdoor/corner/rectangle
  • Power requirements (see chart, below, for power needs and footprint of the models we recommend)
  • EMFs less than or equal to 2 mG (all saunas we recommend are the lowest in the industry)
  • ELFs Extremely Low Frequencies (all saunas we recommend are the lowest in the industry)
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (glues, solvents, formaldehyde) that can off-gas toxins
  • Budget (most important!)

 

We endorse and are affiliates for the three top cabin-style sauna manufacturers, Clearlight® InfraredRadiant Health Saunas, and Sun Stream Saunas.  All three were chosen based on their quality of materials and workmanship, Limited Lifetime Warranties, ease of assembly, and lowest EMFs and VOCs.

If your budget and/or space is limited, we also endorse Therasage and Relax Saunas portable saunas.  To learn more about Therasage Thera360 PLUS personal saunas, click here.  For Relax Saunas, click here.  Otherwise, click the name of the manufacturer, below, for instructions and pricing.

Our vast selection of saunas, as you will see, are stylish and are available for most applications, such as indoor models, outdoor models, corner units, wheelchair accessible units, and even a Mini sauna that is less than 3′ square for small apartments or spaces!

While traditional saunas are ‘dry’ or convection style, meaning they heat the air first before they can warm your body, we only recommend infrared saunas (far infrared or full spectrum infrared) for our Detoxination® Protocol.

Why Infrared Saunas?

Infrared rays are one of the sun’s rays and are the healthiest. They’ll penetrate into your skin deeply, and they dissolve harmful substances accumulated in your body. The infrared light rays vitalize your cells and metabolism.

Full spectrum benefits

Full spectrum refers to the entire infrared spectrum: near, mid, and far infrared.

Near infrared is the shortest wavelength and will be absorbed just below the surface of the skin. This creates conditions that promote cell healing and revitalization.

Mid infrared is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into your body’s soft tissue.  It increases circulation and releases oxygen to reach injured areas and reduce pain.

The far infrared rays, which have a longer wavelength, are especially good for your body. These waves may penetrate 1.5 to 2 inches or more into your body. This allows deeper heat to raise your core body temperature, promoting detoxification.

Traditional “dry” saunas are less efficient than infrared, as they must first heat the surrounding air before warming your body.

The sweat of people using a dry sauna is 95-97 percent water while the sweat from those using an infrared sauna is 80-85 percent water. The remaining 15-20% non-water portion is sebaceous sweat containing cholesterol, fat soluble chemicals, toxic heavy metals, sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia, and uric acid.  Far infrared saunas are ideal for Detoxination!
