1. Types of Saunas. 

• Traditional Sauna.
• These saunas use heated rocks or electric heaters to produce dry heat.Temperatures typically range from 160- 200°F (47.1°C to 93°C).Traditional saunas often use wood as their primary construction material.

   Infrared Saunas:

• Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit infrared light, which is absorbed by the skin, providing a gentle, radiant heat. These saunas operate at lower temperatures (usually between 120°F to 150°F or 49°C to 66°C) compared to traditional saunas.

   Steam Saunas:

• Steam rooms, also known as wet saunas, create humidity levels of up to 100% by producing steam. Temperatures typically range from 110°F to 120°F (43°C to 49°C). The moist heat in steam rooms can be soothing for respiratory issues and may promote relaxation.

•  Full Spectrum  Saunas.
• Full-spectrum is a reference to the entire coverage of the infrared spectrum: near-infrared, mid, and far-infrared. wavelengths. A lot of infrared saunas on the market today cover only one of these ranges, the 'FAR Infrared saunas. Other saunas completely bypass the extra benefits of the remaining two ranges.
• Our Full Spectrum models incorporate our patented 'Complete Heat Technology' Full Spectrum heaters producing near, mid and far-infrared waves. With the deeper penetration, full-spectrum infrared will raise your core body temperature faster to better aid in healing the body, reduce inflammation as well as other all- round performance increases. It is thought that an additional 10-15% benefit is gained from  a Full Spectrum versus a FAR only sauna.   
• Near Infrared between 0.075   1.5 microns.
• The shortest wavelength absorbed and penetrates just below the surface of the skin. It creates perspiration which helps the body to expel toxins and promote healing and revitalisation of the skin.
• Mid Infrared -Between 1.5-5.6 microns:
• Penetrates deeper into the body's soft tissue increasing circulation, releasing oxygen and white blood cells from the immune system.

• Far Infrared -between 5.1-15 microns:
• The longest wavelength which penetrates the fat cells causing vasodilation, where the fat cells vibrate to expel toxins, resulting in the greatest levels of detoxification and stimulation of your metabolism to aid in weight loss.

• Maintenance:
• Consider the long-term maintenance costs, including cleaning, repairs, and replacement of parts. Outdoor saunas should be treated with some wood stain every few years to maintain longevity.

    Additional Features:

• Some saunas come with additional features such as chromotherapy lighting, music systems, or aromatherapy options, which can affect the overall cost. Some of which are included with a number of our models.

• Cost Considerations
• The cost of saunas can vary depending on several factors, including the type of sauna, size, materials used, and other features. Here are some cost considerations:

    Installation:

• Traditional saunas may require professional installation, which can add to the overall cost. Not always but they can.
• Infrared saunas are often easier to install and may come in portable options. Depending on the stoves requirements there could be the need for some electrical adaptations. That should always be done by a certified electrician.
•   Traditional saunas typically use more energy compared to infrared saunas or steam rooms, leading to higher operating costs. 
• You have to be aware of the possibility of mold and mildew with the humidity related to steam. Nothing a quick clean can't solve every now and then.

• Health Benefits
• Different types of saunas have different types of health benefits.
• Research continues to   uncover the various  health benefits associated with sauna use, such as improved cardio health, pain relief, and enhanced skin health. As awareness of these benefits spreads, the demand for saunas is likely to rise.
• Relaxation: Saunas help relax muscles and relieve tension, promoting overall stress relief.

    Detoxification: 

• Perspiring in a sauna can help flush the body of any toxins.

   Improve Circulation:

• The heat from saunas can increase blood flow, which can help improve cardiovascular health.

   Skin Health:

• Saunas may improve skin health by opening pores, promoting sweating, cleansing the pores and encouraging the removal of dead skin cells.

    Pain Relief:

• Saunas have been reported to provide relief from chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, joints, back and muscle pain.
• 
  
• Conclusion:
• Saunas offer a range of health benefits, from relaxation and detoxification to improved circulation and skin health. Whether you prefer the dry heat of a traditional sauna, the gentle warmth of an infrared sauna, or the steamy environment of a steam room, incorporating regular sauna sessions into your wellness routine can contribute to a healthier lifestyle. When considering purchasing a sauna, weigh the benefits, costs, and maintenance requirements to find the best option for your needs.
•  It's a way to relax, detoxify, and promote overall better health, making saunas a big consideration to wide range of 
• people and demographics. Especially with the quality snd affordability of a Sauna from Sauna Solutions and Smartmak Sauna.
