The best thing about infrared saunas in my mind is that I can stay I there for at least half an hour and still be able to breathe. I am slightly claustrophobic, so if I have trouble breathing, I'm going to be out of there in a hurry. Because of this, I have a hard time with traditional saunas.
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.
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.
Infrared saunas work a little bit differently - they use infrared rays which penetrate deep into your body, which gives you a more thorough cleanse.
When I first experienced an Infrared sauna I thought that it was useless, as I sat in there for fifteen minutes and did not even break a sweat, and then two minutes later I was drenched in sweat, oozing out of my skin in bubbles of water all over my body. It was quite amazing.
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.
