My favorite thing when it comes to infrared saunas is the fact that I can stay in the sauna for thirty minutes or so and be able to breathe. I have a mild case of claustrophobia and as a consequence I can kind of panic a little if I feel I am having trouble breathing,. As a result of this a traditional sauna can be tough for me,

There is no question that both saunas have their advantages and it is also a fact that some people like the extreme heat, in many sweating lodges for example when confronted with this heat it can have some meditational qualities, however for me it just becomes unbearable.

The benefit of each sauna is in the fact that they make you sweat, and this way you begin to cleanse your body form the inside out. Your skin is the largest organ, and sweating helps to keep your skin clean and subtle.

Additionally you get to sweat out toxins which are bad for you. Just as you take care of the outer body you also need to take care of the inner body.

In an infrared sauna they use different technology such as infrared rays. Infrared penetrates deeper into your body, enabling an even deeper cleanse.

When I tried out an infrared sauna for the first time, I was unimpressed - that is, until about 15 minutes in when I began to sweat profusely. It was truly incredible.

I felt great after I got out of the sauna and took a quick shower. Saunas are great for your health and which type you choose really depends on your personal preferences. Whatever style you are the most comfortable with is the one you will use the most, so you’ll get better results from it.

And the health benefit is what you want a sauna for after all, that and the deep relaxation they provide you.
