Comparing Traditional and Infrared Saunas
Two main types of saunas are compared: traditional Finnish saunas and infrared saunas. Traditional saunas rely on superheating the air, typically reaching temperatures between 150°F to 190°F, which can be challenging for some individuals to tolerate. In contrast, infrared saunas operate at lower maximum temperatures, around 150°F, allowing for easier breathing while using different light frequencies to heat the body more effectively from the inside out. Both types offer benefits, but preferences may depend on how individuals react to temperature and their specific health goals.
