Saunas

   The most common types of saunas are:

• Finnish Sauna, described above.
• Steam Sauna (hammam) - One can achieve the best result from a steam sauna when the temperature is between 43 degrees C and 46 degrees C and there is a relative humidity of 100%. Saunas should have mist or steam. Hence, saunas must have steam generators and control systems to prevent the escape of steam. Steam sauna leads to sweating and rejuvenation. Steam saunas are most popular in Europe, Greece, Turkey, Russia and Rome.
• Infrared Sauna - Infrared saunas are used for weight loss and relaxation. Infrared, a type of light, is used to heat objects in the sauna instead of air. One’s respiratory system is not exposed to high heat as in conventional sauna. Infrared Saunas, which often have a maximum capacity of four, can be installed anywhere in the house. Portable infrared saunas are also available. A distinctive feature of this sauna type is that it requires 90% less energy and heats much faster than traditional saunas. For more information...

   SAUNA is the only bath in the world in which both dry and damp air is present at the same time. It is the body's natural way to cleanse itself through perspiration. The high heat (average of 80 degrees C) and the low humidity (about 25%) create an environment which promotes over-all perspiration and the deep cleansing of pores. The body's impurities are flushed away (even nicotine from a smoker's body). This total perspiration helps maintain clear, healthy skin and provides a rosy afterglow. Saunas are first and foremost a place of relaxation. The soft heat and humidity soothes and relaxes tired muscles, relieves stress, and promotes a wonderful after Sauna feeling of satisfaction and well being. The body's natural painkillers, beta-endorphins and norepinephrines, are released to provide a feeling much like the runner's high. During a Sauna, the rate of blood circulation increases, the rate of breathing increases, and the pulse rate quickens. Saunas are like mild exercise, or a cardiovascular workout for your heart. Calories are also burned in a Sauna session. A Sauna should be used in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise program.

   Steam Sauna - Steam saunas increase the supply of oxygen to cells and tissues; increase the number of white blood cells; improve blood circulation, immune system and nutrient supply; release toxins and reduce tension; and kill viruses and bacteria. And, steam saunas burn 400-600 calories in every session, and the moist heat improves blood supply. Steam saunas are also very good for patients suffering from bronchial asthma, bronchitis, cough, catarrh of upper respiratory channels, and joints ailments.

    Infrared Sauna - These saunas, based on infrared technology, are more effective as heat reaches deeper in the skin unlike conventional saunas. Deep heat penetration allows removal of toxins, alcohol, nicotine and metals. It helps in curing chronic fatigue; promotes muscle growth; raises growth hormones level; and reduces cellulite. Calories used in half an hour in an infrared sauna session are more than that used while running for the same time. Electric light infrared saunas are very helpful for cancer patients. They raise oxygenation and remove radio active residues. Infrared saunas are good for chronic infections. This sauna can also be used for patients with varicose veins, metal implants, hypertension and diabetes where conventional saunas do not help.
