When I first heard about infrared saunas, I asked my husband if he had ever tried or experienced it. He related to me that he had traditional sauna why back in the 90’s. I showed him the link for far infrared sauna and we read the different features of each model.
We are currently living in a large condo where there is a swimming pool plus another health spa. We are using this facility regularly. I like the feeling and comfort of a hot tub. It relaxes my tired body muscles after a long day of work. Each time I have muscle pain, my husband recommends going to spa and spends few minutes there.
With this infrared sauna that I learned, it changes my views about using spa. It is better to shift to infrared sauna. Pain relief, detoxification, weight loss, cardiovascular health, stress relief and relaxation, beautification of skin and tissue elasticity are the most important health benefits that we can avail using infrared saunas.

Readers planning to buy a sauna should beware of the so-called infrared saunas, most of which are made in the PRC (China) from inferior materials. These are not genuine saunas in the Scandinavian style.
ReplyDeleteIn the traditional heater, the heating elements heat the air and a mass of stones. This allows for a consistent heat and the custom of sprinkling water on the stones, which changes the environment in the sauna dramatically from a dry sauna bath, to a wet bath, or "steam sauna". This is an option afforded to the sauna bather that chooses a traditional Scandinavian style sauna. Remember, it is not necessary to sprinkle water on the stones, and without that custom the humidity in the sauna is very, very low (around 2 or 3 percent).
The infrared heaters have exposed heating elements, so that the heat radiates directly onto the bather in sort of a one sided fashion. These infrared heaters have a much lower capacity, so the most common complaint is that they fail to attain the heat typical for a genuine sauna, especially on the part of the body turned away from the heater.
You also sacrifice the ability to sprinkle water on the heater, and one must question whether it’s actually healthy to expose one’s self to such direct radiation, or how enjoyable such an experience is, compared to the traditional sauna.
In contrast, the traditional Scandinavian style saunas are centuries old (they were heated with wood before electricity), and their safety and therapeutic efficacy is well established.
As with tainted toothpaste, poisonous pet food and lead painted children’s toys, some of these infrared saunas are downright hazardous at least according to the Electrical Safety Authority in Ontario, Canada. See…

Sauna by Airwall, Inc. even recalled their saunas due to a fire hazard caused by faulty heating units and fuses. See...

You are comparing a Pool with a SPA, yes you both get wet in both of them, but if you actually try both, you will see that they are different, if you prefer one over the other, its your taste, but it does not mean that they are not good. Our ancestors did ride horses to work and yes they got there.. but technology evolved. There is better Saunas today than ever.
