far infrared sauna

[Guest guest]

I am going to buy myself a far infrared sauna for Xmas. What suggestions do you have?

I have a jet tub...is this on the same level ?

Hi Rogene!

I finally got to order my sauna yesterday! We had to wait until we got

moved back into the house to have a place to put it. We ordered a three-man

so we can lay down if we like. I ordered it from Miracle Heat. I liked

that it wasn't cedar because cedar gives me headaches. It is untreated

poplar and birch, maybe? Neither are supposed to outgas. They are having a

sale and threw in a Magazine Rack, Shelf, Aroma Therapy and Ceramic Heaters

free, plus free shipping. I'll have it in two long weeks!

Kenda,

Wonderful! . . . You'll love your sauna. I didn't know

they've added those whistles and bells! . . . Do watch

- certain magazines - those with glued spines - may

fall apart in the sauna heat. I wish mine was big

enough to lay down in!

I don't know what's going on in D.C. . . .but they've

quit paying for far infrared therapy for Medicare

patients. The patients my daughter works with (keep in

mind they have Alzheimer's - so you don't get placabo

effects) have shown so much improvement, the center

does the treatments anyway for free! The saunas did

have their detractors, until the staff saw the

improvement in long-term disabled patients. Now

they're believers!

Maybe the people who make their money selling drugs

have been influence pedaling again!

Hugs,

Rogene

Are you talking about a jet tub - as in your bathroom?

With that, you change water with every use . . .

Usually, with hot tubs, you fill them up and use them

indefinitely . . . This can create a bacteria problem

if they're not properly maintained. . . especially for

people who are immune suppressed. I refuse to use

public hot tubs!

There is something called a crystal ball you can use

to remove chlorine from bath water . . a web search

will tell you more.

Hugs,

Congratulations on your sauna purchase Kenda! I know you will be

excite to use it. Makes me want to go use mine right now!

You got some nice freebies too....and you'll love having that extra

room to lay down.

O.K. I am a chicken. I called and had them stop the delivery and

exchange it for a basswood hypoallergenic model.

So now I will wait until about July 7th to get mine.

Just wanted to set the record straight....

I don't know if this helps you but I think you did the right thing. I am very chemically sensitive and I just let my Arizona Sauna out gas running outside for two days and I am fine using it.

Yesterday I went to Whole Foods and wanted to smell a couple of organic essential oils. By the time I finished I had brain fog so bad I couldn't wait to get back home. I thought being organic I would be fine. WRONG! It finally subsided after a couple of hours.

Thanks Penny,

I think I did too and am much more comfortable with the decision

especially considering how expensive they are. Switching it out

after the fact would have cost me $1,300 according the them. This

way, it only cost me $150 ( a small price to pay compartively

speaking).

This whole detox thing has me a little nervous anyway!!

Thanks for you support !!!

Yippee!! Today is the day my sauna was delivered and installed! I have it

heating up right now! The directions say to start at 110 to 130 degrees

initially. What temp do those of you that already have one use? I had a

down the hatch scope today of my upper GI tract so I'm anxious to sweat out

the drugs they gave me to sedate me!

Kenda

[Guest guest]

Kenda . . . I start go in the sauna when I turn it on (unless it's cold outside - then I warm it up) . . . I set the temp for 130 degrees and 40 minutes time . . . It seldom reaches 130 because I open the door a bit to get more air. . . Then I up the time when I feel I need it. I think you're really going to enjoy it! . . . Where did you end up putting it?Rogene

[Guest guest]

Rogene,

It's at 125 now. We put it in the exercise room since there isn't anything

in it except my yoga bar. We're getting in now.

Take care and nurture alot!

Hi Rogene,

According to the Miracle Heat website it states that we shouldn't shower

immediately afterward because you can inhale toxins released in the shower.

Below is part of what their site says. How long do you wait to shower? We

were in 20 minutes at 120 degrees and it was hot! My daughter and I are

both sweating like pigs!

" Do not immediately shower after your session due to eliminated toxins on

the body's surface.  Toxins may be inhaled through water vapor mist causing

nausea.  If a shower is required, simply wipe your body with a cool

moistened wash cloth.  A hot shower before a sauna session may enhance sweat

volume by heat conditioning your body.

For optimal results refrain from using the sauna on a full stomach. "

Hi Sunny,

Thank you! I hope you can save to get one. My daughter and I just got out.

We sweat like pigs in just 10 minutes! We were counting seconds to make it

20 minutes, we were both really hot and ready to get out.

My son asked if we were rejuvenated, no way, we are ready for bed!

This makes sense now, I just reread it. I got in the sauna at 125 degrees.

No wonder 20 minutes was tough! I was wondering how you could stand it

for 130 at 40 minutes!

Mine was delivered last night . I have to wait for my husband and

son to help put it together. I am really hoping this works!

Sweating toxins out....I can understand that process.

It would have to work, given the amount we sweat inside. I don't sweat that

easily during exercise but I really sweat a lot in the sauna. I really

wanted out at 20 minutes!

Nope . . . I don't think I could stand 40 minutes at 130! I can go quite a while though . . . as long as I'm getting enough fresh air! . . . Rogene

[Guest guest]

Kenda . . . I like to jump in a moderately hot tub after using the sauna . . . sometimes with Epsom salts. I don't think what vapor comes off the tub is equal to what you would get in a shower. Rogene

[Guest guest]

Congratulations Kenda! I usually set mine at 130, and stay in for 30 minutes. I don't have any trouble staying in for that long at all at that temperature. I usually take a book to read with me, and that makes the time fly. It is helpful to run or do some sort of exercise to get your blood flowing good before you enter the sauna. This will make you sweat more profusely. Enjoy it! Patty Kenda Skaggs <skaggs@...> wrote: Yippee!! Today is the day my sauna was delivered and installed! I have itheating up right now!

Sneak preview the all-new .com. It's not radically different. Just radically better.

[Guest guest]

Kenda, This is probably true. But you could put a shower filter on your shower head that would remove the chlorine residue and I think it would be okay. That's what we do. I am sure that is the vapor residue that they are discussing, even though they don't come right out and say it. Chlorine is in most water supplies, and it is released as a vapor very easily in the shower, and yes, we inhale more probably that way than any other exposure! A bath will probably also be a good option, prepared beforehand so the chlorine can vaporize, or else you can use a Crystal Ball in the tub to neutralize the chemicals. http://www.crystalclearsupply.com/Crystal_Bath_Ball_Bath_Filter_p/cb-2000.htm Patty Kenda Skaggs

So you crack the door open to allow fresh air? We kept it closed to keep

the heat in. Wouldn't cooling down defeat the purpose? How do you stay

hydrated enough? I think I drink a good amount of water but it can't be

enough.

You're probably right, you'd be wet before the steam could cause toxins to

penetrate. I have concerns about toxins sitting on my skin before I shower.

I'll have to research this more. I don't take baths because they give me

female problems.
