Portable infrared sauna – a little bit of heaven you can take with you

Ok yes some of you are going to think I'm a bit over the top here calling a portable infrared sauna a little bit of heaven, but I assure you anyone who owns, or has tried one will agree with me, and this article is going to explain just a few reasons why a portable far infrared sauna is a must have for the alternative heath nut.

Portable Infrared Saunas the size of a gym bag

These small tent like saunas fold up and come with a carrying case that makes them no more intrusive then a regular gym bag. Add in the fact that you only need about 7-9 square feet to use one and it's no wonder these infrared models are showing up in more and more peoples homes.

The concept came about when infrared saunas started to become popular, and their health benefits were being touted as the secret solution to arthritis, detox, and other degenerative and auto immune issues. Experts began to notice how the use of infrared saunas help increase blood flow, detox the body, and basically heal from the inside out.

So what exactly do they look like?

A portable infrared sauna looks like a tent. You get inside and there is a small hole at the top for your head to pop through. While they look a little like a space suit (due to the metallic appearance) the often silver coating is used to keep the heat inside.

The far infrared heater takes about 15 minutes to reach temperature, and a 15-20 minute sit inside is the standard. They're the most energy efficient heaters on the market costing about $3-$5 a month to run depending on your usage habits.

Why buy a portable infrared sauna?

The attraction to the portable far infrared sauna models is mainly the price. Precut and prebuilt units can run into the thousands of dollars, where a portable infrared sauna can be picked up for as little as $350.00. Couple with the savings the fact that it's portable and can be taken on the road for work, on vacation with the family, or used in any room of your home and it's a pretty slick piece of equipment to own.
