Infrared saunas

[steve]

Anyone got or used one and any opinions?

Got ours last week, easy to assemble and have used it over the weekend and seems good.

Nothing like a traditional sauna as dry heat, more like being microwaved.

Health benefits are supposedly vast....

Causes weight loss (without having to lift a finger)
Helps treat cellulites
Improves your immune system
Improves your strength and vitality
Helps cure several skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis and acne
Strengthens the cardio-vascular system
Helps control your blood pressure
Detoxifies your body
Gives you more energy and relieves stress
Helps treat burns and scars
Relieves pain (joint pain, sore muscles, arthritis)
Helps control your cholesterol level
Helps treat bronchitis
Helps treat hives (urticaria), gout, tissue damage, prostate hypertrophy

Doesn't make tea though!

Can I get one on prescription?

More of a traditionalist myself & have had a Finish wooden sauna for quite a few years now & use it every day. First thing in the morning i do 40 lengths of my pool followed by my sauna then steam room & have a dip in my v cold plunge pool. Great way to start a day.

Do you have a couple of serfs to smack your ar5e with a christmas tree.

[Tilly W]

The only weight you lose in a sauna is in sweat,which is replaced as soon as you have a drink.

It doesn't actually render down the lard!!!

[steve]

I don't have a plunge pool so have to make do with a cold shower del.

I shifted 500 sanitary bins from old house garage to new house garage yesterday having used the sauna so new heights in my revitalisation process.

[Foo!]

I don't get on with infrared saunas. I tried one at the gym, and had to escape after a couple of minutes; I couldn't breathe. The dry heat felt horrible.

So I'm not moving in after all, Steve. I'm sure you're gutted.

steve, you should have said.

it would have been an honor to move 500 sanitary bins in my van.

Moved lots of things in my time including woman but never 500 sanitary bins.

[steve]

The sauna is optional foo. What else do put in a spa type room? Currently sauna, massage table and access to washroom and shower room. Not really room for a steam shower so thinking more cosmetic, like nail work table (not for me), some zen goddess type water feature ...

[Ocan]

I hadn't heard of them until this thread - Googled and now want one, along with the extension to house it

[steve]

I could have nicked your van, bigger than our transit.

Geez .. how many women do you live with

I would've just turned the whole thing into a massive wet room. With, like, jungle plants in. That'd be ace.

[steve]

No jungle animals though. I have seen a big black cat around here once and was confirmed by the builder who stayed over last night. Wonders what that is, looked about twice the size on an average house cat

Probably a cougar or a black panther.

What? In Rufford?

I have non of the above lol

What? In Rufford?

Particularly in Rufford, some time back a particularly large cat had taken up residence in the what was then Rufford New Hall grounds, no signs since the residential development in both those grounds and Home Farm grounds.

But still plenty of woodland and open ground around there.

Unfortunately a sauna of any kind isn't the top of my list of priorities at the moment.

[steve]

Are you serious silver fox? We live about a mile from there next to a wood.

My house maybe the size of your pool room, but, I don't have a resident panther! I feel happy now! Teehee

Seriously though, I'm not a fan of saunas, I struggle to breathe, much prefer a steam room myself. Saying that, anyone who has taken their child to swimming lessons at Bates, will surely know the weekly sauna session you endure! It's really bloody hot in that place.

no me either, great for those who like them, but the idea of sharing a room with someone dripping with sweat (for reasons other than , for example, sex or exercise) doesn't appeal
ditto hot tubs

Never lasts long enough to work up a sweat

I'd have to say the only example is sex, the thought of sharing a room with anyone sweating makes me feel sick, now you've mentioned it. Perhaps that's the reason I subconsciously fear gyms! Haven't been in 10 years, used to go every week, always wondered why I stopped going!
