1. If you are taking any medication or have any health problems such heart disease, consult your physician before using infrared saunas. Don’t use the sauna right after exercising. You should relax and let your heart and breathing return to normal. As well, do not eat a heavy meal prior to use because you may get sick to your stomach and your blood will also be aiding digestion instead of strongly circulating throughout the body. Remove any jewelry containing metal as they can get quite hot. Make sure you have gone to the bathroom before going into the sauna so you do not interrupt the session.

2. When you go into the sauna, you should begin by sitting on the lower bench. If you feel dizzy or ill at anytime while in the sauna, you should immediately exit the room. If it is your first time, you should gradually get use to the environment by sitting for about 15 minutes at a time. Work your way up to the upper benches as you get accustomed to the heat. As well, maintain a lower temperature so that you can adjust to the temperature better and not feel faint or ill. Avoid taking alcohol and drugs and make sure you have a bottle of water available after you are done sitting.

3. Whenever you move around in the infrared sauna during your session, do not get up quickly to avoid dizziness because the blood pressure is normally lower in a sauna. Relax during the session to feel its full benefits. If you are sitting with friends, avoid any conversations that cause stress. After the session, rinse off in the shower.

Make sure you buy the appropriate size wood for the size of the sauna you will be building. You need to determine the size so you can buy enough wood and other building materials.

4. Cut the wood and planks according the specifications that you will need based on your construction plans. You will also want to apply a water seal on the exterior wood once the sauna has been built.

5. You will want to build the floor first. Start by building the floor frame. Make sure you have nailed it together so it is strong. Once you have the frame constructed, nail the birch or oak planks to make the floor.

6. You will now want to build the frames for the roof and walls. You do this the same way as building the floor frame. Nail the wall frame to the floor and then nail the planks to the wall frame and floor. Lay insulation over the walls. On the interior, cover the wall and insulation with cedar wood planks. Make sure you have used plenty of nails and everything is secure and air and moisture tight.

It is essential to make sure the roof has been nailed tight and is secure. You can then build a bench seat and install it inside the sauna.

The following lists the benefits of using saunas:

1. Saunas provide a healthy way to detoxify and cleanse the skin. When one perspires, the skin pores open up and releases chemicals, bacteria, and toxins from the body which rejuvenates and restores the skin to a healthy glow. The skin is cleansed and there is an improvement in skin elasticity. It also helps prevent pores from blocking up and thereby reduces acne. With the help of sauna heaters, approximately a quart of sweat per hour is produced when in a sauna.

2. Saunas can help one lose weight. One can metabolize fat faster and sweating helps one to lose weight. As well, one can burn a significant amount of calories. The increase in the heart rate also increases blood flow and imitates easy exercise causing fat to burn. When in a sauna, approximately 600 calories are burned in 30 minutes.

3. The heat from saunas can relieve pain associated with such conditions as arthritis and joint pain. The muscles become more flexible because of the heat so sore muscles become relaxed. Arthritis patients often take steambaths as part of their treatment. The natural pain relieving chemicals Norepinephrines and Beta Endorphins are released causing a reduction in pain.

4 A sauna can lower blood pressure and improve circulation, the immune system, and metabolic rate. This increase in the metabolic rate helps the body release impurities. As well, sitting in a pre-fab sauna can speed up the healing of wounds and other injuries such as bruising.

5. A sauna is beneficial for people suffering from sinus problems because the steam opens up nasal passages and allows the free flow of mucus. It is also beneficial for people suffering from chest colds as it breaks up mucus in the chest allowing one to breathe better.

6. Saunas are a great stress reliever. They are very relaxing and cause tension and stress to fade away.

7. Outdoor saunas provide a great entertainment activity. Friends can get together after a difficult day at work or with the children and relax and enjoy each other’s company. It is also a great romantic way for a couple to spend time together.

8. During a woman’s menstrual period, a sauna is known to eliminate or decrease stomach cramps and heavy blood flow.

9. A sauna will help fight off a cold or flu. When you are in an infrared sauna, the heat mimics that of a fever. This triggers the immune system to increase the production of white blood cells to fight off infection and illness. This is especially beneficial during the cold and flu season.

10. A sauna can also help with controlling one’s appetite and improving one’s sleep patterns.

The many benefits of using a sauna make it an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
