The Scandanavians have understood the benefits that the heat of a sauna can bring for centuries. Once an experience that could only be enjoyed at expensive health spas or at the gym, a sauna is now an affordable luxury for your home. Today's saunas are available in a variety of styles from the traditional cabin to the contemporary capsule saunas with a choice of convection or infrared heating methods.
Traditional saunas
Traditional Saunas are heated by convection hot air. Regular sauna sessions help strengthen the immune system through the process of extracting toxins in the body by sweating. A healthy heart rate is achieved by switching from the heat of a sauna to a cold environment on a regular basis.
The average temperature is typically around 70-100 degrees Celsius in the sauna which is heated by a stove and hot coals. A typical traditional sauna regime would involve showering first and drying off. A 10-15 minute session in the sauna followed by a 2 minute cooling down in fresh airthen a cool shower or plunge pool. A period of rest before another session is advised with a maximum of 3 sauna sessions.
Children age 6 upwards can use a sauna but as the temperature is very high it is always adviseable to consult a doctor if there are any known medical conditions.A tradiaitonal suana requires a qualified electrician to connect the sauna stove which operates at 7.5kW/hour.
Infrared Saunas
Infrared Saunas heat the body using infrared radiation (as if you are in the sun). Radiation penetrates the skin and helps ease muscular strains and joint problems. The average temperature is a comfortable 38-43 degrees Celsius allowing more time in the sauna to benefit health wise. A 30 minute session results in loss of toxins and stored fats in the body, therefore assisting in weight loss and achieving a healthier complexion as well as deep heat penetration of muscular aches and joints.
Children and the elderly can benefit from using an infrared sauna due to its lower temperatures. Its simple plug in connection means it becomes instantly operational as well as economical with fuel consumption at 1.5kW/hour. Heat therapy through history has proved to be most beneficial to health when regular sessions are taken.
