Finnish Saunas
The Finnish Sauna is one of the most popular types of saunas. It is a traditional sauna that uses dry heat to warm the body. The temperature in a Finnish sauna typically ranges from 80 to 100 degrees Celsius. The humidity is usually low, which makes it easier for people to breathe and sweat.
Finnish saunas are typically made of wood and feature a stove that heats up rocks. Water is poured over the rocks to create steam, which raises the temperature and humidity in the sauna. Guests can sit on benches and relax, enjoying the heat and steam. The Finnish sauna experience often involves taking a cold shower or a dip in a cold pool after sweating in the sauna.
Infrared Saunas
Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit light that is absorbed by the skin. This type of sauna heats the body directly, rather than heating the air around it like traditional saunas. Infrared saunas typically operate at lower temperatures than Finnish saunas, ranging from 50 to 60 degrees Celsius. The lower temperature makes it easier for people to tolerate longer sessions in the sauna without feeling overheated.
Infrared saunas typically have a more modern appearance than Finnish saunas. They are often made of wood or other materials and may feature glass doors or windows. Some people prefer infrared saunas because they feel that the heat penetrates deeper into the body, providing more therapeutic benefits. Infrared saunas may also be a good option for people who don't tolerate the high heat and humidity of traditional saunas.
Steam Rooms
A steam room is a type of sauna that uses moist heat instead of dry heat. The humidity in a steam room is typically 100%, which can make it feel much hotter than a Finnish sauna. The temperature in a steam room ranges from 40 to 50 degrees Celsius, which is lower than a Finnish sauna.
Steam rooms are typically made of tile or other non-porous materials that can withstand the high humidity. They feature a steam generator that produces steam, filling the room with moist heat. Guests can sit on benches and enjoy the heat and steam, which can help to open up the airways and promote relaxation. Some people prefer steam rooms to traditional saunas because they feel that the moist heat is more beneficial for their skin and respiratory system.
Far-Infrared Saunas
Far-infrared saunas are a type of infrared sauna that uses far-infrared light to heat the body. Far-infrared light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is absorbed by the skin and tissues. Like other types of infrared saunas, far-infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures than traditional saunas, typically ranging from 40 to 60 degrees Celsius.
Far-infrared saunas may offer additional health benefits beyond those provided by traditional saunas or infrared saunas. Some studies suggest that far-infrared saunas may help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. Far-infrared saunas are typically made of wood or other materials and may feature glass doors or windows.
