So you're thinking about investing in a sauna but not sure whether to opt for the traditional sauna or the infrared sauna. Both promise a wealth of benefits, from detoxification to muscle recovery, but they achieve these results in distinctly different ways. So, which one should you choose? Let's delve into the steamy details to help you decide.
Traditional Saunas
Powered by a stove that heats rocks, traditional saunas warm the air to sweltering temperatures, typically between 80°C and 100°C. This superheated air then warms your body, encouraging a profuse sweat. You might even add water to the hot rocks to create bursts of steam, intensifying the experience.
Infrared Saunas
Stepping into an infrared sauna offers a different sensation altogether. Instead of blasting you with hot air, infrared saunas utilise advanced light technology to emit infrared wavelengths that directly penetrate your body. This creates a deep, cellular-level heat without significantly raising the ambient air temperature, which typically ranges from a more comfortable 40°C to 60°C.
Making the Choice: Which Sauna Suits You?
The best choice between a traditional and an infrared sauna ultimately comes down to your individual preferences, health considerations, and wellness goals.
-
Choose a Traditional Sauna if: You enjoy high heat and steam, prefer a more communal sauna experience, and aren't overly sensitive to high temperatures.
-
Choose an Infrared Sauna if: You prefer a more gentle and comfortable heat, are looking for deeper muscle and joint relief, value energy efficiency and convenience, or find traditional saunas too intense.
