Year after year, most folks seem to have "getting healthy" or "losing weight" on their list of New Years resolutions. A new sauna from Saunas And Stuff can actually help. Let’s make 2013 the year you meet that goal and actually lose that weight and get healthy while doing it.
Infrared saunas are a great way to lose weight and detox the skin and body. Saunas work differently for everyone, depending on your body weight, how your body produces sweat, your normal heart rate and your metabolism. Most people see amazing benefits from using an infrared sauna.
Saunas for Weight Loss – If you are already in great shape, saunas will help you remain at your current weight while greatly increasing your blood circulation. You will also get to reap the rewards of the detox benefits. For people who are overweight, saunas are great additions to a new gym regimen. You also need to exercise and eat healthy, but saunas will help you relax, detox and improve circulation to boot. Most people who are overweight have a slower metabolism. Regular use of a sauna could help with. A 30 minute daily sauna session or "sauna bath" can increase your metabolism due to the penetrating heat and increase in blood flow.
Saunas for Detox – Infrared saunas are a great option to detox your body. They can significantly expedite the detoxification process as it heats your tissues several inches deep. This helps enhance your natural metabolic processes. Saunas also increase circulation and oxygenate your tissues, which is very beneficial for your health. Your skin is a major organ for eliminating toxins, and most people do not sweat enough to eliminate all of the toxins from their home, work and outside world environments. Repeated use of the sauna slowly helps restore your skins ability to eliminate toxins, especially after sun damage and wearing tight clothes cause this process to slow. Restoring your skin elimination will significantly reduce your toxic load and will also help rid your body of heavy metals and chemicals.
The major difference between an infrared sauna and the traditional Finish (hot rock) type of sauna is the latter heats you up from the outside in, like an oven. The infrared sauna heat penetrates and heats you from the inside out. They are amazing options for turning around your health in the New Year.
Saunas And Stuff sells some of the top line infrared saunas and traditional hot rock saunas and sauna heaters. Contact us to help you select the perfect option for you.

Outdoor Saunas are Perfect for Winter
Saunas in the great outdoors might be one of the most relaxing options for winter. A sauna in the backyard can be a luxury sanctuary. There are many new options to help enhance the look of your own backyard and to fit your personal style.
If you are fortunate enough to have a pool or hot tub in your yard, an outdoor sauna can be the perfect compliment. In the cold weather, the sauna and pool combination is amazing, as you can take the plunge in the cool pool between warming up in the sauna. The polar plunge!
People are constantly making the interior of their home personal and matching their style, but they often neglect the backyard. Adding furniture and some rocks is just not enough. An outdoor sauna can make your backyard the envy of the neighborhood. These saunas are making a comeback as everyone wants to find relaxation and peace in their own backyard.
The best way to take care of your backyard sauna is to make sure you treat the wood and keep it in the best shape possible. Saunas are made from soft woods such as cedar or which allow the absorption of steam. These woods handle the swelling better than hardwoods. Since the wood has a soft, porous surface, abrasive tools can scratch the delicate timber. Hard chemicals can also penetrate the wood, damaging the integrity of the sauna. Use carefully selected tools and cleaners to treat the wood properly and avoid damaging the sauna. In addition, all cedar saunas can be treated with linseed oil on the outside for protection and to give them a rich color.
If the wood on the inside of your sauna gets stained over the years, you can often renew it with a nice sanding. Make sure you finish with a really fine grit to prevent a porous surface. That would make the wood more susceptible to becoming stained again.
Check out the wide range of sauna kits to build your own backyard sauna, and head there to relax and rejuvenate your mind and body. Saunas And Stuff will help you find the best options for your style and space, as well as help you take care and treat your sauna so it lasts for many years to come.

Carbon Fiber Infrared Saunas - Best Home Sauna Kits
Infrared Saunas are a popular new technology for saunas. An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to emit infrared radiant heat, which is absorbed directly into the human body. This is unlike traditional saunas, which heat the body indirectly via air or steam. These infrared saunas have become all the rage and are easier to tolerate for those that are sensitive to heat.
The two main types of infrared saunas are bio ceramic tube infrared saunas and carbon fiber infrared saunas. There are several differences between the two types. The ceramic tube sauna has been around the longest and the carbon fiber is a new style and technology in infrared heaters.
Carbon Fiber Infrared Saunas are slightly more expensive than bio ceramic tube infrared saunas. The heat in carbon infrared saunas is evenly distributed all throughout the sauna and has a very large surface area. In contrast, ceramic versions result in heat that is concentrated closer to the heaters themselves. Quick, smooth and evenly distributed heat fills the sauna in carbon fiber saunas, where ceramic saunas quickly heat up but heat is more intense closer to the heaters.
Ceramic tube heaters are long, skinny tubes that emit infrared ray waves in all directions, thus reflectors are used to reflect the IR waves from the backside of the tubes into the sauna. The limitation is that they can create areas of concentrated heat waves where it is really hot and some areas that are cooler with less concentrated heat.
Infrared rays are thermal heat, like the sun’s rays, and heat up what they bump into. If you stand in the sun, you feel hot until you step into the shade, where it feels cooler even though the temperature did not change. Infrared waves work similarly.
The key purpose of the carbon fiber panel heaters is to create an even overall pattern of infrared waves inside the sauna. The entire panel can cover a large area of the walls, backs of benches and even floor panels and will emit an evenly distributed pattern of infrared rays. The goal is to heat the sauna user evenly to get a full body sweat going.
Carbon Fiber Infrared saunas are the most durable with flexible and less fragile than ceramic heater rods. Carbon fiber saunas are also the most efficient with the lowest cost of operation. Most of our customers that have had the opportunity to try both options prefer the carbon fiber infrared sauna option. Check out our amazing selection of carbon fiber infrared heaters for your next sauna purchase!!

Adding a Sauna to Your Meditation Routine
Current fads and trends in the athletic training world never seem to last very long. That is part of the reason we love the sauna. It has been around for more than 1,000 years as a way to recuperate from a hard workout. With the Olympics all the hype right now and athletes floating across your television screen, recovering from these hard workouts might be something to note, should you try to channel your inner Olympian.
One of the recent trends that have caught my attention (it has also been around for many, many years) is meditation. Allowing your mind to fully relax and drain all thoughts to a state of complete calmness has been touted by many for years as one of the most important things you can do for yourself. It is so incredibly hard to find a place to experience this full mind relaxation without other distractions and interruptions. The sauna came to the top of my mind as an amazing place to do daily meditation.
Saunas, especially those within the comfort of your own home, give you a place to allow both your body and mind to relax simultaneously. The twenty to forty minutes you take daily in the sauna allow you to slip into a meditative near-sleep state while you eliminate toxins from your body. Your mind can clear fully and all of your concerns can melt away.
Some of the major benefits of meditation include healthy cardiovascular health by slowing the heart rate and pace of breathing, lowering stress levels, strengthening the immune system and improved self-esteem and a more positive outlook on life.

Towel Warmers Give You Toasty Towels
Do you hate the feeling of getting out of your nice, warm shower filled with steam to find an icy situation waiting for you once you step out? Do you love that feeling of pulling a fresh towel out of the dryer and using it while it is still warm? Then you must look into the many options for towel warmers to warm up your towel and help keep you toasty. These are perfect for after using the sauna to stay warm instead of entering an icy room after a nice warm sauna session. They also help dry out your towel after using it, which can be very helpful in more humid climates.
Towel warmers continue to gain popularity in the United States. They have been used in many homes and hotels in Europe for many years. Towel warmers were used to heat towels, as well as help them dry after use. They can also serve as a radiator in the bathroom or any room in your house, including the one with your sauna, heating the air while warming up your towel.
Towel warmers can be hard wired or plugged in, depending on the style and where you want to use it. You can also mount them on your wall outside of the sauna, shower, bath, or steam shower to make it easy to grab that toasty towel without fear of your kids pulling it over.
There are also many different designs to choose from. Towels warmers will typically be made from metal such as brass or stainless steel. SaunasAndStuff.com has many amazing designs to fit your style and budget. Most have automatic shut offs after two hours so you don’t have to worry about turning them off all the time and can allow you to put your used towel on the rack to dry.
These towel warmers help to keep towels fresher longer, as well as allow you to wash them less often. The freestanding towel warmers allow you to use the towel warmer in many different rooms and for a multitude of things, making it the most multipurpose option of all! We use our towel warmer in the winter to help dry off our coats when we come in from the snow.

The Steam Bath and Steam Shower Trend
There is a growing trend of steam bath and steam showers across the nation. They offer both the benefits of a steam room and the functionality of a shower or bath. It is a fun, relaxing way to get clean and relax at the same time.
Steam showers are a type of bathing where a humidifying steam generator produces water vapor that is dispersed around a person’s body. It can be explained as a steam room that offers the same features of a bathroom shower, or a regular shower with an added steam feature that is powered by a home steam generator. Some steam showers also use solar thermal technology and heat the water with the sun, reducing the electricity bill.
A major difference between steam showers and saunas are the humidity levels. Steam baths tend to be more humid, but you can adjust the temperature and steam in both. Steam showers are usually in an enclosure that prevents the water vapor and steam from escaping.
Steam showers are available in a variety of materials, including but not limited to acrylic, fiberglass, stone and wood. Modern steam showers also provide additional features that may include foot massagers, rain faucet showers, stereo and television features, chromotherapy (light therapy) and aromatherapy.
Steam baths provide the same concept as steam showers. Heaters are used to maintain warm temperatures in the baths.
Steam showers and baths offer a lot of the same benefits of the sauna. The steam will soothe sinus irritation and chest congestion. Sweating helps clear your pores and purge toxins. The elevated temperatures increase your circulation for healthier skin and more energy. It will also help relax sore and stiff muscles.

Saunas at the Spas - A Must
When I head to the spa for a full day of relaxation, one of the things I look forward to besides the relaxing massage is sitting in the sauna. I always enjoy detoxing in the heat of the sauna after a relaxing massage. There is something exciting about the cleansing and renewing of your body.
I always get sad when I notice a spa location or hotel spa does not include a sauna. There are so many easy sauna options to sit in the smallest places or set up exactly how you would like, so adding a sauna can be easy and an exciting addition.
With all of the amazing health benefits of the sauna, it is the perfect thing to add to allow your clients to experience the most relaxing and fulfilling experience at your spa. I always try to use the sauna for approximately 10 minutes at a time, depending on how I feel and my temperature. I also always advise take a shower upon exiting the sauna to rinse away the toxins off my skin, since the sauna helps expel toxins in your body out through your pores.
There are so many great sauna options in all different shapes, sizes and kinds to fit your needs and what will best benefit your customers. The two main types of saunas are dry and wet. Wet saunas, otherwise known as steam rooms, are kept at lower temperatures to prevent superheated water from scalding the skin on contact. Dry saunas are kept at much higher temperatures by keeping the moisture levels down to close to zero. These extreme temperatures cause relaxation and promote sweating to help cleanse the system and provide health benefits. These dry saunas are the types I would suggest for the majority of spas. Larger spas can have both options.
Infrared saunas are the most popular as the infrared technology produces heat through electromagnetic radiation heaters. One of the reasons infrared saunas are gaining popularity is because of the lower air temperature which is easier to tolerate. Especially in the case of first time users, infrared provides the same sauna benefits of a traditional version, without the intense and sometimes unbearable heat and thick air.
If you own a spa or health club and are looking to add the business benefits of saunas, please contact http://SaunasAndStuff.com for the best options and a ton of different products to meet your needs. We also ship to the 48 states for free, as well as offer some of the lowest prices around. Now that’s a reason to add a sauna!

Sauna Rules for Safety and Fun
Saunas are gaining in popularity, and they are becoming more and more crowded in gyms, health clubs and spas around the world. The best way to truly enjoy a sauna is to get one in the comfort of your own home, where you can use it as much as you want and in the privacy of your own living space. In your home, the rules go out the door. But what happens when you have company or others in your sauna?
Here are some basic rules for using saunas:
1) Do Not Sit Spread Eagle in the Sauna
At least try to close your legs and know that everyone else in the sauna does not need to see what you are working with. Some places request a towel be used at all times, and we are in this camp in regards to the lower regions. Try to at least think about those around you and what they would want to see and what should remain for you and your significant others eyes only.
2) Try to refrain from talking a lot
Most people head to the sauna to relax and reap the amazing health benefits they offer. They don’t want to hear about your most recent breakup with your boyfriend or how crappy your job is going. We want to shut out the world and think of nothing during these few precious minutes of sauna bliss. Please allow us this one request for a short time, and take your drama conversations to the locker room.
3) Use a towel to sit on or lay on
There is nothing worse than seeing a person’s bare bottom sitting on the wood, sans towel. I don’t want to sit anywhere where someone wasn’t using a towel, and don’t want to think anyone might think this is okay. Please, please always use a towel to sit or lay on when using the sauna.
4) Shut the Sauna Door
I recently headed to the sauna after a yoga session. I was relaxing, when someone entered the sauna and left the door open. I looked at them for a moment, got up out of my relaxation moment to fix their thoughtless mistake. Always close the door. We are using the sauna for the heat. Please don’t ruin that.
5) Stay in your Sauna as Long as you want
Saunas are the perfect opportunity to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy life. Reap all the amazing health benefits the sauna has to offer, and stay as long as you feel comfortable and happy. Upon exiting, remember to shower off to remove the toxins and complete the entire experience.
These basic rules should help you feel more comfortable using the sauna and enjoying everything it has to offer. Make sure you adhere to the rules of using a sauna. And if you can’t stomach thinking of someone breaking one of these rules, you should head to www.SaunasAndStuff.com and check out the amazing options on home saunas we have so you can put one in your own home. Then you can sauna in privacy and reap the rewards without interruptions.
