Sauna practice goes back many hundreds of years and spans many different countries and cultures. The advantages of the sauna and sweating are documented in the Ayurveda (ancient healing traditions), around 568 B.C., as being important to health.
Comparing the traditional sauna to the Health Mate infrared sauna, it appears the infrared sauna is more beneficial to our health. Traditional saunas heat the air and require higher temperatures to promote perspiration, whereas the infrared sauna warms the body rather than the surrounding air and promotes sweating at lower temperatures. The infrared sauna is much more tolerable for those who are heat sensitive. Infrared saunas are perhaps the most effective and efficent method of promoting a state of hyperthermia for the purpose of detoxification.
For additional information on the many health benefits attributed to infrared sauna usage see Benefits of the Saunas.
