Let us discuss here different types of saunas, health benefits of sauna bath and how to gain maximum benefit out of it.

Types of Sauna

Wood-burning sauna – It uses rocks or wood to produce heat and is very much similar to the traditional Finnish sauna. We can regulate the amount of heat in the room by adjusting the burning rate.
Electric sauna – This type creates heat with a wall or floor mounted electric heater. It employs a remote control with temperature display to adjust the heat to our desired level.
Wooden sauna room – It is a modular unit mostly made out of various types of wood including western red cedar, Nordic white spruce, pine or hemlock.
Infrared saunas – These are often mentioned as infrared heat therapy rooms. Inside them, heating elements reflect heat in the form of light directly onto the person’s body. They are mostly used by athletes or by those performing weight training.
