Re: FIR dome or sauna? for Ken/reply

[Guest guest]

Dear Ken:

The unit we have made is NOT the same as the Korean unit you're

discussing since it is built under contract with different glues and

other components. Don't make statements you don't know the facts

about...just because it looks the same on the outside does not mean it

is the same...I think it is a different manufacturer, however. There is

another small family owned manufacturer in Korea who makes another dome

unit which isn't the same at all...I have a Korean business partner and

we import/export alot of products from Korea, and I'm assured by our

engineer in Korea whom I trust since he works also for Hundai and is a

FIR specialist, that it is different than anything else offered out

there including the units from the other manufacturer.

the ozone compatible units although I cannot tell what " xtras " that unit has

except for the tubing, etc. for an extra $300. I know the unit I can offer is

identical to the $2495 unit.

In my early days of looking for an affordable FIR sauna alternative I

invested in a FIR pad that was designed to be layed on and then a

similar FIR pad was placed over the top of the body. The top pad had

flaps along each side that would drape down so that the environment

was closed. The fabric that you layed on was some kind of

polyurethane material, some similar type fabric would have to be used

to prevent perspiration from soaking into it. The elements that

emitted the FIR rays was inside the pad. I suspect that the fabric

could have blocked some of the FIR energy from penetrating the body.

The head was exposed to the outside cooler air.

It was nice, but did not do as well creating a sauna environment. I

sweated okay but not as much as the 2 FIR heaters do for sauna in the

bathroom, or the healthmate sauna. I think that there are two

reasons for this, the head being exposed to the cooler outside air.

Much of our body heat escapes via the head. And also, breathing the

cool air in the room causes some cooling of the body via the lungs.

Also, using this device I would be dressed in a cotton sweat suit and

cotton socks on feet and hands so that I did not feel the vinyl

against my skin. The clothing would also reduce the amount of FIR

entering the body.

A couple of the ladies that used it reported getting headaches. I

suspect that this may have been for a couple reasons. The head being

outside the mat sauna, in the cooler air, probably did not experience

as much vasodilation as the trunk of the body and may have had some

problems with the increased circulation. Also, lying in the prone

position would also make blood flow to the head easier.

It does make a nice sleeping pad. Each part of the unit, the bottom

pad and the top pad, have seperate control units so it could be used

for two single twin-bed FIR heating pads.

This device is not the same as the one shown on the link so a direct

comparison can not be made. I have no experience with the device

shown in the link.

All the best,

Jim

A friend of mine, a former lymie (she's mostly well now), used it

when she was not as well and really liked it. Just curious. And there

are those LED pads too. All these things are rather expensive tho,

for just lying on something.
