subject: Benefits Of The Portable Sauna [print this page] A sauna can be relaxing and therapeutic, which can be very beneficial to your health. A sauna can be a great addition to any home, but there are quite a few things to consider before making any purchase of this magnitude.
Saunas have been around for at least a thousand years and have many derivations. Due to the increased fire hazard when using a constant heat sauna many people had the sauna built as a separate building located adjacent to the home. Old style smoke saunas due to their nature were always located away from the house and frequently located near a natural water source. In both cases wood was required to fuel these traditional saunas which required spending time cutting firewood each spring and summer.
When you moved to an urban setting you most likely had to give up your sauna. There was no such thing as a portable sauna that you could take with you. New sauna stove technology that uses electricity, gas or propane has greatly increased the number of locations that a sauna can be built.
Portable saunas use steam heat that will allow you site a sauna just about anywhere. In most cases a small portable sauna will consist of a PVC frame covered with a special insulating water proof cloth. The floors of most portable saunas have a sponge or drip pad that catches the users sweat. These units are designed to be folded up into a suit case size package that can be easily stored in a closet or utility room.
In most cases the heat source for a portable sauna comes from a steam generation unit that sits outside the sauna. A hose is attached between the steam generator and the sauna. Most portable sauna units have slits in the front that allow your hands to protrude so that you can hold and read a book during your sauna. Most units have digital controls and a timer that make the sauna very easy to use. The steam generator is powered by ordinary house current and in remote locations be powered by a generator. The new portable infrared saunas are basically constructed of the same materials however the heat source consists of far infrared emitters that heat the sauna and the user. The only moisture comes from the sweat of the users body.
