I'm starting 2 new ABX tomorrow and am scared of the herx. Has anyone tried the cheap portable infrared sauna $200. is it worth the money and is it that helpful in detoxing? Thanks

Do you have a brand name of the one you're speaking of?

Saunas are helpful if you can sweat. Maybe just the heat helps as well, but I can't say for sure.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you will learn a lot here and get the support you need. It's a great community!

FIR saunas are supposed to be better than regular saunas if that person is looking to detox as it penetrates the skin better, however the near infared sauna is supposedly the best.

Before you buy a sauna, be sure to investigate the wood or other product used in it - some put off horrid smells and other emit toxic chemicals!!!

There have been many discussions here about saunas and their use. Please use the search feature to find them.

I like using saunas in general. I've been keeping an eye out at auctions and on CL for one. I found this company recently that has all kinds of spa treatments that are DIY, a lot cheaper then going to an actual spa. I think the company is planet beach and they have them all over the country. I would recommend trying it out a few times before investing.

The small portable ones are made in China and I heard they are bad because of the plastic they are used out of but I never followed up with the claims so I can't say for certain. Just do your research! Also some of those cheap gyms like golds and planet fitness have saunas. That is where I went when I needed to sweat!

Thanks for the input. I hadn't even thought of the toxins from the plastic. Maybe I'll get smarter with more treatment. LOL
