Infra-red Saunas
Locked
 
|
Hi again,
Can anyone tell me if it is ok for an ES to use an Infra-red sauna. I mentioned it to my boyfriend last night and he said I would be mad to use it because of all the electricity and lights etc. If it is ok to use, he may get me one to use at home. Does anyone know how they work? and what effects they have on ES individuals? I have heard they are really goodfor the detox but want to be sure they are tolerated. Maybe it is different for everyone. Sorry for all the questions but I am trying to keep motivated! Thanks, Alison |

A traditional sauna or steam room may work out fine for you, if you can find one locally to try out. Even a hot tub, although these are typically loaded with chemicals... Marc |

I've been using a Finnish sauna for a year now. The advantage
over infrared is that the Finnish heater can be turned off after the sauna has been heated. Warm it up to 140 degrees or so then sweat. --- In [hidden email], "ajwelectro" <ajwelectro@...> wrote: > > Hi again, > > Can anyone tell me if it is ok for an ES to use an Infra-red sauna.

Thanks Marc, we actually have a 'hot-tub' which Adrian
switched off for me and drained so that it wasnt causing me any problems. How funny, maybe I have to get him to refill!! Thanks, also, I am going to get the HMD and give it a go. Greatful for the advice. Alison --- Marc Martin <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Can anyone tell me if it is ok for an ES to use an > Infra-red sauna.

I think the heat and steam probably offset the electricity they use... the chemicals can be problematic though -- one might be better off just taking a hot bath... :-) > Thanks, also, I am going to get the HMD and give it a > go. Let us know - I tried HMD once, but didn't feel that it was as beneficial as NDF. Marc |

There are yahoo groups that can answer your questions. There is someone in one of those groups who really rails against infra-red saunas because of outgassing and other reasons. He sells his own brand called Heavenly Heat Saunas. I find that infra red is pretty safe for me. I use smart home technology and use infra red remotes throught the house. I have infra red heaters as well. I do also have an infra red sauna which I rarely use any more but at one time used it quite a bit. I stopped when after doing exercise on my work out equipment to stir up the toxins and get them mobilized I would then go into my sauna and sweat. it made me feel pretty good but it also made me flunk my physical as both dehydration from the sauna and heavy workouts caused me to have protein in my urine on a DOT ;physical and almost wrecked my driving career. I use my infra red heaters quite a bit when it starts to get cold. But I noticed after awhile I was getting sensitive to the infra red as well. But fort awhile it should feel really good.

Hi, Alison,
I have wondered the same. I was in touch with Dr Rae's people at the EHDC and they use them in their program and seemed to indicate that it was ok for me (I mentioned I have ES). They said if I came there that is what they would have me use. I have not personally bought one yet nor used one, so I can't say definitely. It was 2 years ago when I called the EHDC and so things also may have changed from their thinking. I still use epsom salts baths for detoxing instead. If you get one, they sell one out of the bookstore which is affilliated with the EHDC which is good for those of us who have to watch outgassing, etc. You do not want to get a cedar one or one which would have noxious vapors.

Heavenly Heat sauna is the one the AEHF sells that is affilliated with the EHCD. (Sorry I think I was calling this the EHDC before! :) )
