Is there a better type of heat for detox? Dry versus wet heat? We hit up some of the county fairs last month and looked at both steam showers and saunas? Both get nice and hot but which one is better for killing off those pesky spirochetes, dry or damp? I am leaning towards the sauna myself.

I would think wet because the steam opens up your pores to let stuff out...

I believe it's simply heat that opens up your pores. One has the sensation of sweating more in wet heat because the sweat doesn't evaporate.

It really is a personal preference kind of thing.

I used to use both at the gym and much more preferred the dry heat sauna as I could tolerate it better. I suppose it is a personal preference. I never considered which would be more effective, have no idea.

I am soon going after a FIR infrared sauna. I hear Sams club has the 2-person for $1,200...not bad.
I was considering the portable but now hubby has it too so I am going for the 2 person sauna. Can't wait.
