FAR Infrared Saunas

[pixiesmommy]

So it is still up in the air as to whether we absolutely have Lyme or not, but that is fodder for a different post...

 

Meanwhile, the dr is suggesting that we purchase a FAR Infrared Sauna for home use, twice daily, for each of us, to help detox.

 

Is anyone else using this protocol? I see it mentioned quite a bit online. Obviously, we are trying to get the most bang for our buck with everything health-related that we do. $2000 spent is $2000 spent, ya know?

 

Experience w/these? Recommendations? Advice? ......

 

 

Thanks!

I have one that I used a few times a week back at the beginning of my lyme treatment. It contributed to the treatment. I think I spent like $300 on it.

I want to get one to use and we are done with our Lyme treatment (knock on wood). I tried one at my doctor's office and it was awesome. You don't feel hot and you perspire like crazy. It's quite comfortable. Got to b sure it's a good brand and not made with treated wood that off gases. U can buy a tent sauna (where your head sticks out) for 300. I like the wood ones And want one that will hold at least two people so my kids can do it with me or together. I can't remember the names but I think healthmate is the brand I tried at the dr

Thanks for posting about this. I just read up on it and I think this is something we would like to use. The portable ones are pretty affordable, if they work well....

 

Can children use them too?

I am sure they can. My son and daughter tried the ozone sauna which is more uncomfortable b/c it is a steam sauna. The 2k model allows you to sit in it and read a book which might be more appealing to a kid. They probably can't take as much of it as we can though. It seems to be a very easy way to detox that doesn't require ingesting gross stuff :-).

We finally got our sauna today and it is wonderful. We have all tried it and love it. The kids did it for 10 min each but did not sweat. I did it for 20 min and worked up a good sweat. I guess you have to sweat for it to work? They are going to try it for longer next time. I didn't start to sweat until around 10 min.

Which one did you get Susan?

This is not where we bought it from but this is the style and about the price I paid. For me, short but a little over weight (ok, probably a lot by now ), it's just the right size. For anyone much bigger, It might be a problem but I know they do make these in an extra large size too. I don't have the money or the space for the wood ones but I really like this style, where your head sticks out and does not get hot. I don't like my face or head or air to be hot.

FYI, you do not have to sweat for it to work.

So you still detox even if you don't sweat? I thought the heavy metals and toxins came out in the sweat?

It would be great for us if it worked without the sweat, because my daughter doesn't sweat much the few times we used a

far infrared sauna at the doctors office.
