Saunas have been know to have amazing amoutn of health benefit since ancient times. I prefer to use my sauna alone, in silence, and to just meditate. Growing up in northern Wisconsin we used to travel to the Upper Peninsula of MI, and other parts of the Midwest where there is a high percentage of Finnish Americans. Every time we traveled up there we always sat in a sauna; this is where I began to understand the health benefits of a sauna. I prefer the Pure Infrared Saunas far infrared because there is no humidity and it is a dry heat; which helps my extreme allergies. I cannot begin to explain the incredible health and relaxation benefits I recive during each session. My sessions are about 15 minutes long once daily. I find myself more relaxed and not as tense me as used to be. I am in the medical field which can be very stressful and gruelling. When I step into my far-infrared sauna I feel my body start to relax immediate and the stress dissipate within a few minutes. When I am finished sitting my mind is clear and my body feels an like an ideal condition of rest, harmony, stability and joy. A true nirvana!
