I have used a steam room (sauna) at my local gym a couple of times and feel a lot better for hours to a day or 2 after. However, it takes a lot of effort for me to get there, shower, and get home. So, I'm thinking about buying a personal infrared sauna for home. The problem is, I'm really sick right now so it's hard for me to research and compare different sauna features, etc. Do any of you have one that you would personally recommend that's reasonably priced? Thanks!

I get a lot of relief from steaming up my bathroom from a hot detox bath, so I feel a sauna would really benefit me as well. I found some online through Amazon, the cheapest one started at $165.00. If you google it, it should bring you to their site. I don't know how well the quality is, but I am willing to invest the money for a great way to detox.

There's quite a bit of info about FIR saunas in this older thread that you might find helpful:

There are quite a few other threads where members are talking about FIR saunas, just use the search feature above and enter the terms, "Lyme, FIR sauna" and all kinds of results will be there!

Hi Mystery,

I didn't have much money and really wanted my own FIR Sauna and after doing my research, I bought this one (from amazon) and I love it!  When I bought it (I forgot how many years ago), it came with a little chair.  I feel great afterward and never had a problem with it.   I love the remote control and I let it heat up before I get in, listen to music.  Very relaxing!  I paid less than $200.00 for it.

Oh, if you are a really tall person, I would get the Extra Large Size as there is not much room inside.

Hope this helps,

Denise

If you are a cheapass like me and have a long commute. I turn up the heat in my car, wear my large feather down jacket and sweat on my home from work for an hour. Probably not as effective though. LOL

I love my sauna! Just yesterday I was feeling really crappy. My husband said nicely "I think you need the sauna"

He was so right, I went in for 30 minutes and sweat like crazy. I came out and felt amazing. It was the best investment ever. I do wish I had the space and the money for one that was large enough to lay down in, but I bought the back rests and they work really well.
