If you can't tolerate the heat of a dry or steam sauna, or if your doctor has advised against using them because of the high heat, you should purchase a far infrared sauna for your home. These saunas operate at a much lower temperature using the same type of heat as we get from the sun, but without any of the drawbacks of excessive sunlight.

Beautiful wood styles can be purchased for home use, starting at about $2,000.00 for a 2-person sauna to $4,000.00 for a 4-5 person capacity sauna. The heating elements can be either carbon or ceramic, but research shows that carbon panels have broader heat distribution and can be leaned against comfortably. Leaning against ceramic rods may cause red marks on the skin.

A dry sauna's temperature can start at 169 degrees and go up, and one can only tolerate it for 5-20 minutes safely and comfortably. A far infrared sauna's temperature ranges from 110-130 degrees, and one can stay comfortably in one for up to one half hour.

... one and one half inch, heating the core body temperature. The health benefits are enormous, including detoxification, burning 900 calories in 30 minutes, reduced inflammation, pain, blood pressure, and easing fibromyalgia symptoms. The heat also reduces one's chance of getting cancer, helps psoriasis, cellulite and scars diminish, and can increase the thyroid level and give the user better skin tone and elasticity. It also gives a cardiovascular effect equal to running 2-3 miles, yet the user feels relaxed the entire time he is in the far infrared portable sauna.
