Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 We have a homemade sauna. The heating unit is a brand from the Swiss. They are known for using their saunas often, and so we thought that would be the best. The sauna room itself is simply a small section of our basement which was walled off. We used cedar from the local forests, and it is truly a healing place. I also purchased a portable steam room, which I enjoy more. I also purchased a little face steamer, which is pretty cool. It's supposed to be a beauty aid. I found one at W-mart. It steams your face, and I breathe in the warm steam, which is a quick fix when I don't have time to do the long steam. I'm explanting this Wed. Please say a prayer. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I purchased mine at a Home Show . . . It's a HealthMate . . . When I saw what they were, I knew that's what I needed. I didn't shop around, or consider alternatives. I probably could have saved money if I had, but they delivered it! Where we live, it would have cost a pretty penny to have it shipped to us. Anita's son built hers - in a closet, I think - It cost about $100, if I remember correctly. You can spend as much as you'd like . . . But they don't have to be expensive. The main thing is that you want to use light elements that emit " far infrared " light rays (you won't be able to see them), and that there are enough lights to surround you. It will add to your enjoyment if you have a window and a radio (speaker inside, radio outside) . . . You need something to open to allow a small amount of air to circulate. The walls should be untreated wood. If you'll do a websearch for " Far infrared sauna " you'll see the types and options. I expect the manufacturer's would have a link to a source near you.
