I started trying an infrared sauna in the last week, and it almost seems like it's making me feel bad. Can anyone relate?

Reba sauna can be used two ways. One is you warm up with it and stop when you start sweating. That way you detox without killing any bacteria. The other one you warm up the sauna and then get in. This will raise your body temperature above 102F which will cause an artificial fever which in turn will cause a die off. Then you will not feel well.

Good info...I think I stayed in for too long!

Though I will say I've used normal saunas...albeit, for half as much time as the infrared, but with a comparable amount of sweating, and never had a die off like this!

Yes FIR saunas work on a different principle,much more effective. I had to get used to it. I am doing much better now.

How can we detox though if we aren't sweating?

I do sweat. If it makes you sick you need to get used to it first thought. At the beginning I would just warm up with the sauna until I started sweating and then got out right away. Some people may not even be able to do that and that is fine. Because of the FIR rays the sauna will have a limited effect even if you are not sweating. It is still raising your body temperature and affecting your tissues in a good way. That's why they are so great! It makes your blood flow, dilates blood vessels, etc. etc. such a great thing!

Gotcha, I feel fine when I'm in there...it just seems I've felt crappy the past few days after using it for the first time.

Appreciate your help
