Your Home Sauna – Choosing the Best Location
Indoor and outdoor saunas are now available in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be built to accommodate just about any style or specification. In fact, today’s sauna buyers have so many options, sometimes the most difficult decision can be where to locate the sauna.
For an indoor sauna, the most popular locations seem to be the bathroom and basement. Owners of bathroom saunas often make use of the existing plumbing, drainage and privacy a bathroom typically provides. Given that sauna baths are revered by countless enthusiasts for their cleansing and rejuvenating qualities, it makes perfect sense that so many people choose to install their saunas within just a few steps of their showers and bathtubs.
When a restrictive design or other extenuating circumstances prevent a residential sauna from being installed in the bathroom, many homeowners immediately look to their basements. The addition of a basement sauna can often lead to a person’s cellar becoming the most utilized room in his or her house. A space that was perhaps once reserved for storage can quickly be transformed into a choice spot for enjoyable social gatherings and favored leisure activities. Indeed, just as regular sauna use can promote healthy living, a basement sauna can give a formerly blasé basement new life.
Outdoor saunas are most commonly installed in homeowners’ backyards. The ideal arrangement occurs when a new backyard sauna complements an existing outdoor swimming pool. Weather permitting, the presence of the pool encourages adherence to the much-prescribed heating-cooling cycle advised by health professionals and practiced by responsible sauna bathers. With both a swimming pool and backyard sauna on your property, you may find yourself playing host to your friends and neighbors more frequently than you ever did before. The combination of an outdoor sauna and pool may simply be too enticing and pleasurable for them to resist.

My Understanding Of, and Experience With, Far Infrared Saunas
A few years ago I became interested in Far Infrared Technology and purchased a Far Infrared Sauna. I was intrigued by the seemingly unbelievable and numerous health benefiting claims attributed to it.
I had been introduced to this technology about 10 years before by a friend of mine who pursued the practice of Acupuncture while I pursued my interest and passion for Myo-fascial Release work. He had learned about and purchased a portable Far Infrared Light, which he learned about in China while he was there during an apprenticeshipinternship for Acupuncture. At the time, I could tell he was excited about the use and benefits of this technology, but alas, I was skeptical and considered it just one more of the hyped myriad health-related tools making their appearance on the healing scene. I am a skeptic when it comes to all the Health and Fitness Tools and Gizmos which fill the infomercials and magazine ads. My bottom-line rule is to Judge only by Results.
When I began reading my way through the thousands of pages available on the research and results attributed to Far Infrared Technology I realized that this was something I wanted to have a direct experience of myself. And by the way, this is the method I apply to any form of Self-Maintenance Tools I attempt to share and make available to other conscious Health Seekers.
So I made a fairly expensive purchase and bought a Far Infrared Sauna, assembled it in my master bedroom, and began using it on a daily basis.
