Buying Guide: Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas have become increasingly popular in recent years as a way to relax, detoxify, and improve overall health. However, choosing the right infrared sauna can be overwhelming, as there are many factors to consider. Here are some things to look for before buying an infrared sauna.
Type of Infrared Heating
There are three types of infrared heating used in saunas: far, mid, and near-infrared. Far-infrared saunas are the most common and penetrate the deepest into the skin, making them ideal for detoxification. Mid-infrared saunas are a good option for those who want to improve their circulation and soothe sore muscles. Near-infrared saunas are the newest type, and they penetrate the skin at a shallower depth, making them great for skin rejuvenation and wound healing. Most infrared saunas offer a combination of far-infrared and mid-infrared heaters, which provide all the benefits listed above.
Quality of Materials
The quality of materials used in an infrared sauna can greatly impact its longevity and effectiveness. Look for saunas made from high-quality, non-toxic materials, such as hypoallergenic Canadian hemlock or cedar wood. Cedar is known for its aromatic scent, while hemlock has a more subtle, earthy smell. Both are naturally resistant to moisture and decay and can withstand high temperatures without warping or cracking. Make sure that the heating elements are made from quality materials, such as stainless steel or cast iron. These will not only last longer but also provide more consistent and reliable heat. The wiring should be heavy-duty, and the switches should have a high amperage capacity, ensuring they won’t burn out when the sauna gets hot.
Size and Capacity
Consider the size and capacity of the sauna before making a purchase. If you plan to use the sauna alone, a small one-person sauna may be sufficient. However, if you plan to use the sauna with friends or family, a larger one may be necessary. Also, be sure to measure the space where you plan to install the sauna to ensure that it will fit.
Safety Features
Safety features are essential when it comes to infrared saunas. Look for saunas with built-in safety features, such as automatic shut-off switches and low EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation. This will not only ensure the safety of the users but also prevent any potential damage to the sauna.
Additional Features
Infrared saunas come with a range of additional features that can enhance your experience. Here are some of the most popular features to look for:
- Chromotherapy lighting uses colored lights to promote relaxation and healing. Each color has a specific meaning and can be used to target different areas of your body and mind.
- Listening to music or guided meditations can enhance your sauna experience. Look for a sauna with a built-in sound system or an AUX port to plug in your own device.
- Oxygen ionizers help to purify the air in the sauna by removing pollutants and allergens. This feature is especially helpful for people with respiratory issues.
- Digital control panels allow you to set the temperature and time for your sauna session. Look for a sauna with a user-friendly control panel that is easy to operate.
- Backrests and benches provide a more comfortable sauna experience. Look for a sauna with comfortable backrests and benches that are made from high-quality materials.
