Saunazone- Massage Chair & Infrared Sauna Sales

The dry infrared sauna is a moderate temperature, very low humidity hot air bath that makes the sauna bathers sweat very profusely. New comers to this form of dry heat bathing and relaxation will need 2 to 6 weeks of regular use to acclimatize to the hot dry environment.

Hot dry saunas can be enjoyed for many reasons: as a work-out for the cardiovascular system, a deep-cleansing treat for the body, an immune system booster, and a soothing and invigorating refreshment for the mind.
There are a few precautions to keep in mind. Because of the increase in cardiovascular activity caused by the traditional hot temperature, dry saunas are not recommended for people with heart disease or other cardiovascular problems. Individuals with high blood pressure should first consult their doctor. In addition, the hot dry sauna is not advised for pregnant women, small children, or the elderly. If you have been working out, be sure that your body has had time to cool down before exposing it to the heat of a sweat bath.

Probably one of the best investments I’ve ever made is purchasing a portable infrared sauna.  Not only does it provide me with great stress relief after a long day of work, it is also a good means for healthy skin and detoxification.  In many cultures around the world, the sauna has been considered a vital part to one’s daily life for physical, mental and spiritual rejuvenation.

Throughout history the sauna has gone under many stages of evolution, mainly due to cultural influence and emerging technology.  There are wet and dry versions of the sauna.

Some of the oldest recorded saunas were pits dug into the earth where rocks were heated to high temperatures.  A basic covering was used over the heated rocks to capture the heat and induce sweating. Water could even be thrown on the hot stones to produce steam.

Here is a brief list of the progression of sauna types:

- The Smoke Sauna is one of the original saunas and is basically described in the preceding paragraph.  This type of sauna has also been fitted with a chimney fixture to eliminate the irritating effects of collecting smoke.

- A continuous fire stove is a more recent version of the above and requires continued manual support to fuel the fire.  The latest of this type are the similar electrically heated saunas which are often found in gyms or homes.  One of the negative part of the traditional saunas is that the air temperatures can average around 80 degrees celcius, which can make extended sessions uncomfortable or a session difficult to maintain for the recommended time.

- Infrared saunas use a technology that

has been around since the 1950s where a special bulb produces rays similar to those of the sun without the UV radiation.  The bulb heaters don’t increase the temperature of the air to extreme temperatures but penetrate the skin to promote perspiration.  I generally break into a good continuous sweat when the temperature reaches about 60 degrees celcius, almost half that of the conventional saunas.  Infrared technology saunas have been researched and purport to provide the same health benefits of traditional saunas along with the safety.  Infrared sauna heaters also can have a life to 10,000 hours.

Here are just a few of the proposed benefits of regular infrared sauna use:

- Pain Relief for muscles and joints

- Increased Detoxification

- Aids in Weight Loss

- Supports Cardiovascular Health

- Promotes Healthy Skin Elasticity and Tone

- Tissue and Muscle Flexibility

- Supports Immune Function and Proposed Aid in Cancer Therapy

- Does not dry up mucous membranes as the conventional counterparts do

There are a few differences between traditional saunas and the infrared sauna.

The biggest reasons I prefer portable and infrared is for the overall health reasons, lightweight portability and affordability.  Visit Saunazone South Africa now http://www.saunazone.co.za or call 0860448367 or 0845557227

SaunaZone® Saunas Cape Town South Africa

All Saunzone® far infrared saunas feature high quality lumber and double wall construction. Using separate tongue and groove panels on the inside and outside provide an insulation gap between the 2 walls, ensuring proper heat retention in your sauna. This same technology is used in building houses.
The wood used in these saunas is not the normal 4" wide planks that are found in most saunas. Our saunas use wood that is approx. 2" in width. This helps create a tighter more rigid sauna room and retains heat much better. Using these narrow planks also eliminates the cracking you will find in other saunas. When the saunas heat up, the wood can bow, warp and crack on the 4" planks. The narrow boards that we use will not have any other these issues.
