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.
There are health benefits to saunas besides their obvious effect of producing a relaxed state. There are those who just love extreme heat - while in some situations (sweat lodges and the like) this can be an aid to meditation but as for myself, I can’t take it.
At the same time, you’ll be sweating out all of the toxins, taking care of the inside and outside of your body at the same time.
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.
After a quick shower, I felt fantastic. Saunas offer many benefits for physical and mental health. The type of you choose depends on your personal preferences; but the one you feel more comfortable in is the type you will use on a regular basis, allowing you to get the most benefit from your sauna.
That is exactly what you want to achieve when using your sauna, that is after all its purpose, which is to provide you with the maximum health benefits that you can get when using it.
