Home Steam Sauna

Stress can play havoc with your immune system. Doing a balancing act between all our daily chores saps our energy and leaves us tired and lethargic. Soaking in the gentle heat of steam sauna can invigorate your sagging spirits and revitalize your body.

Even with all the benefits offered, you may not like the idea of rushing to your local spa every time you want to sit and unwind in sauna. If you use your local sauna very often it\'s time to consider installing one in your home.

Designers generally suggest having room for one to four people for in-home sauna. The rooms are made from good quality wood or board sheathing. Walls are not painted, as the paint may peel off or become dull with the high temperatures and moisture present in the room. Inside the sauna, dry heat is produced by the help of bathers pouring water on heated plates or stones. The stones or plates are heated by a heat source like an electric stove, gas fire, or wood. Some people believe that wood-heated saunas give a more pleasurable and authentic experience as compared to saunas heated by electricity. Heat generated in a sauna relaxes your muscles and causes perspiration, which in turn, cleans pores and leaves a radiant look on your face.

It is indeed a luxury to have your personal sauna at home. You can step in to unwind and relax whenever you wish. Once you have decided to have one in your house, you can choose from various brands and styles like the traditional sauna, the Finnish rock sauna, or you can even consider having an infra-red one. While having a sauna is considered an asset in a big house, it may become a liability if you happen to live in a small apartment. Moreover, if you plan to sell your property in future, the new owner may prefer having an extra bathroom instead of a space-occupying sauna facility.

Before you buy your personal sauna facility, make sure your family and you are physically fit to enter the sauna room. The temperature inside the sauna can harm persons with high blood pressure, pregnant women, older people, and small children.
