Top at-home Infrared Saunas

So, you are thinking about purchasing a sauna?

Where do you start? There are so many different kinds the possibilities seem endless and can be quite overwhelming choosing the right one for you. 

First, let’s quickly go over the different kinds of saunas. 

There are four diverse types of saunas: traditional Finnish sauna, dry sauna, steam bath (also known as a Turkish bath), and an infrared sauna. Each experience varies from one type of sauna to the next.

Traditional Finnish Sauna

This specific sauna is wood-lined and is most commonly known as the traditional sauna. Inside of the sauna you can find heated rocks, a bucket of water and a ladle. Anyone who uses the sauna can control the humidity by adding water onto the rocks. This can change the humidity and steam in the sauna from 20% to 40%. The higher the temperature inside of the sauna the lower the humidity.

Dry Sauna

A dry sauna is like a Traditional Finnish Sauna because it has heated rocks inside, but there is no water to be ladled on the rocks. This type of sauna has lower humidity, and it can be found in a gym. Not everyone knows that adding water onto the heated rocks can be done in a dry sauna, but you should always be courteous of other sauna users and follow any rules if you are using a public sauna.

Steam Bath

This type of sauna’s temperature is around 120 degrees Fahrenheit built with tiles, glass or acrylic inside of a sealed space. A steam bath has a lower temperature with 100% humidity. The humidity makes it feel hotter than what the actual temperature is.

Infrared Sauna

An infrared sauna is quite different from all the rest because there is absolutely no humidity. This sauna heats up a person’s body temperature and envelops your body in a heat glove.

I’m here to talk about the Infrared sauna, since it has been the most beneficial in my personal life.
