Saunas Are a Way to Relax After a Hard Day

There are many ways to relax after a hard day of work, or physical activities. Ok lets keep this G Rated folks, LOL. You can set back in a quiet setting and read a good book. Or how about sitting down with a bowl of popcorn and watch your favorite movie. How about considering a refreshing message at a day spa. Or a nice soak in a Spa; I have owned a few Hot Tubs over the years. How about a way to relax, adding some class to your home, and improving your health. How about a Personal Sauna.

Saunas began in Finland as far back as 1000 A.D. They did not become popular until recent times when Reino Tarkianinen brought them to the worlds attention. He was able monetize them and created Finlandia Sauna. He initially met the American market with resentfulness, but by the 1970s Saunas became a great way to relax. A new fad at the time, they have become very popular and are here to stay for a very long time. Saunas have a great number of benefits. They can reduce host of ailments from illnesses to everyday stresses by sweating out your bodys environmental toxins.

In fact, if done a few times a week saunas can dramatically reduce and speed up the toxins eliminations. Compared to other types of treatments Saunas, used sensibly are very safe. The basis of them being heat, it raises the heart rate and of course creates sweat. Increased heart rate releases endorphins. This in turn reduces stress and if youre congested, helps you breath easier. Saunas shouldnt be endorsed to cure someones health, and of course pregnant women, disease aggravated by heat or children under the age of five. Typically Saunas are heated with either electric, gas or infrared heaters and have volcanic rocks that sit on top heat units. The rocks are there to produce steam. When you initially go in, you sit in the dry heat and then ladle water over the rocks. It is very nice to take a shower afterwards to rinse off and wash the toxins that come through your skin and out of your body.

When considering installing your own Sauna, there are outdoor and indoor versions. You can simply purchase sauna kits and come with pre-assembled panels and roof that snap together. They usually come with everything you need and can either be permanent type or portable version. Typically they run in price from about $200.00 for a portable 1-person sauna to 5-6-K for a 6-person Cedar infrared Sauna with all the bells and whistles. Saunas have come a long way from there beginnings of using wood stoves. Todays models offer ease of installation, fast heat times, and year round enjoyment indoors or out. If you already have one, enjoy it to the fullest. If you are considering one, go out and get yours, and if you are just in the thinking stages of buying one, do your homework and buy the model that fits your lifestyle, person capacity and budget. Enjoy and dont sweat the details.
