How effective are saunas during treatment

I was wondering if using a sauna has helped anyone and their experiences using one. Does it actually help? I know its big for detox. I have pots, will using a sauna help get rid of my pots?

Sauna was a game changer for me. It helps with fatigue, pain and mental health.
I always drink a cup of tea before and 0,5L coconut water after, with a pinch of salt.
After the sauna I scrub in a shower with water at room temperature.

At the beginning of the year I did 3 months of daily sauna, it helped a lot!
For a long time it has been hard for me to do it consistently, as I am missing the mental strength to start the process.

If you can do it, try it out, starting gently and increasing. It always has to feel good, otherwise, it's probably not good for you.

Good luck!

Which sauna did you use?

To be honest, I don't know much about it. During lockdown I looked for ways to do sauna. Public ones were closed and renting private ones was just took expensive in the long term.
So I found a second hand one nearby which was affordable (I was really lucky with that!), got some help to pick it up and now I have it at home. It's as easy as plugging it in, I don't add any water or do anything else.
I believe it's infrared, here's a picture I found online of a very similar one:

It heats up in about 30 minutes, I get in when it's at 40ºc and sit for 13 to 15 minutes, sometimes a bit longer. It reaches 45 and I turn it off. The head is supposed to stay out in this model, but after a few times, I managed to sit fully inside, with a blanket covering the hole, as it's really important that the head also goes through the process*.
*Note: I don't recommend anyone doing this. This is my own experience, tested slowly and only doing what felt comfortable. It might be dangerous for some.

You mentioned that you didn't have the mental strength to continue using the sauna was it just not a holding its benefit and the infection is causing you to deteriorate more or did you find other beneficial ways to detox instead? Thank you.

What happened was that I took a break as Summer came. I was tired of having my days always gravitating around the sauna routine. With the warm weather I am able to go lighter on detox, as detoxing happens more spontaneously. It's a relieve to let go of so many things to thing about and to get done.

But the break should now be over, as the weather has been changing for quite some time. I keep repeating in my head that it's time to restart, but I haven't been able to actually do it. So simple, yet so complicated.

Thanks for asking.

Were there any concerns or negative stories to use in A sauna?
Although not popular I'm a big proponent of listening to bad stories as well as good because I want to be prepared for the possibilities of negative impact. I'm assuming heating your body up can while detox can also cause some tremendous die off too I'm always scared to put myself into a adrenal crisis once you've experienced that one or two times I'm always very cautious on trying new things. Thanks

You can definitely feel worse from the sauna depending on how your body works. My girlfriend started with just a few min until she was able to increase. When I was more toxic before I felt worse from the sauna and took more footbaths instead, now days I don’t have any problems anymore.

My routine is dry skin brushing, burbur and pinella, sauna 25 min where I wipe of my body with a small towel, shower, and finish with a binder. If you are using it a lot you should think about taking electrolytes.

I think it's very important to look for a low EMF sauna.
