I love my infrared sauna! I think it is easily one of the best investments I have made in a long time. While I don’t get the opportunity to use it much in the summertime because it can already get very humid in the northeast New England, I am in it a few times a week from fall right through spring time.
I have rheumatoid arthritis. My doctor told me that a sauna could actually make my arthritis worse. But all the research I did prior to purchasing the infrared sauna stated otherwise and believe me there is a lot of research on Google alone that points to an infrared sauna being excellent for someone with rheumatoid arthritis, and even going as far to say there are many health benefits in using a sauna, so I bought the sauna.
I purchased a 2 person FAR Carbon sauna for about $2800.00…that price included tax and shipping. Some of the things you will want to consider when making this purchase are the type of heat, dry or moist, the type of coil, ceramic sauna or carbon sauna (which is also considered a far infrared sauna) and the type of wood as well as how many people you will want to accommodate.
I knew I wanted the cedar wood sauna. I mean, come on now- lets face it. You are going to be in there sweating your collective kahunas off. You want to get a wood that will be aromatic enough to possibly have to overpower the smell of body odors. Cedar works wonderfully for combating the smell of sweat.
I did a great deal of research as I said earlier. I knew I wanted a far infrared sauna. What I did not know going into the actual purchase was if the far infrared sauna was available in both the ceramic models and the carbon. It was not and I almost made the mistake of buying a ceramic sauna which would have been a costly mistake.
If you have rheumatoid arthritis you do not want a ceramic sauna!!! You will want a carbon Far Infrared Sauna, also sometimes called a FIR Sauna. First of all, the ceramic sauna is much hotter making it nearly impossible to stay in your sauna at higher temps for any real length of time. And the other thing is that the heat is very dry and very HOT.
In a far infrared sauna-you will be able to stay in the sauna for hours on end if you like, and your body will get rid of lots of toxins in the process which only attributes to the health benefits, making the personal purchase of a home infrared sauna an attractive one.
