Saunas are Beneficial and Practical

We all know the great benefits of saunas in helping your muscles and joints to recover after a hard workout, or to relieve pent up tension and frustration. What few people realize is that saunas have many more benefits than these. In fact there are a wide variety of benefits that can be enjoyed by having access to a sauna at home.

The ancient Greeks were the first to understand the benefits that the body can experience when alternating the environment from hot and dry to hot and moist. The Romans took the idea of temperature based bathing to its full potential by building entire complexes that used saunas and other temperature extremes. Through the years it has been understood that there is no better way to relax than with a hot wet steam or a warm dry relaxing Sauna.
Over the years the debate of hot and wet such as a steam room or warm and dry such as in a sauna began and eventually it was determined that both had their benefits. For relaxation purposes it was deemed that dry and warm was best for daily use, and therefore Far Infrared Saunas became the most common type of sauna for the home installation market. Another advantage to the home user was the fact that you could have one installed with only the need for a common electric plug. This was more reasonable than steam rooms which required the running of a power supply to the room for lights, the construction of a steam tank and heater unit which often meant gas lines and the running of plumbing systems as well as a vent to the outside to let the moisture escape out. Common steam rooms required major construction and utility tie ins and that made them cost prohibitive.

Another major advantage of a sauna over a steam room for home purposes is the fact that you can enjoy other activities while in the Infrared sauna, you can read, watch a TV or use your cell phone or laptop (provided you keep in mind that long term heat is bad for your computer so keep the usage short). All of these things are out of the question when in a wet environment. Of course if you want a moist environment, you can always have it by simply add

ing a bucket of water and a face cloth.

The benefits of an infrared sauna in your home are tremendous. Imagine being able to come home and undress before heading to your personal sauna. The gentle warmth engulfing your body as you sit or lay comfortably reading the paper or a favorite book. The time floats away as does your tension and stress from the long hard day. Your spouse or children can join you and you can reconnect with those you love while you all release the grip the day to day grind of the outer world has on you. There is also the social aspect of sharing the sauna with friends. You can also invite over your buddies and your spouse will enjoy the extra time she can have with her pals as well.
There are other benefits as well. It has been shown that those who use saunas regularly have lower levels of toxins in their bodies, have high metabolic rates and have stronger immune systems. Users of home saunas also have healthier and more vibrant skin and due to less stress in their lives, tend to not be at as high of risk with cardiovascular disease, migraines, overeating or addictions to “comfort” items such as alcohol or nicotine.

The personal benefits of having a home sauna for health and medical purposes are great. Many doctors suggest that those dealing with respiratory distress, some skin conditions, suffers of arthritis, and those who have tension related conditions consider the installation of a home sauna. This is due to the fact that the dry heat of the sauna helps to loosen the lungs, reduce inflammation in the joints and exfoliate the outer layers of the skin.

Having a sauna in the home is a great way to enjoy all of the benefits that a sauna can have anytime you would like. They are easy to build, economical to own and a pleasure to you. If you have not considered the installation of a home sauna, you should look into it. The benefits are undeniable.
