i need quick input on infrared suana v. ozone steam sauna and neuro symptoms. of course, if anyone has a better suggestion that may bring equal or better relief along these lines, please do share.
i know the sauna route has been helpful to many families with teens, as it is a therapy some teens will do daily.
mine has many neuro symptoms again, some may be microbial, others are from circumstantial anxiety and stress. we all know how hard it is to get accurate diagnosis and treatment for co-infections, so we need some relief that would cover potential remaining microbe issue, regardless, plus offer general and safe stress relief, hormone balancing and other health benefits.
so - infrared v. ozone for more neuro symptom relief?
if these are considered of equal value on psych and neuro symptom relief, i will then look at comfort comparisons.
there is also a heat intolerance issue - so, with enclosed cabinet spas, which modality is "easier" on the head and body heat-wise - and if that is a big issue overall, there is the "steamy wonder" sort of tent for steam and ozone that lets you lie down and have the head out to consider as well.
blessings all, mo

I have gotten tremendous help from my Infrared sauna, I love the thing! Contact Therasage.com if you want one and mention you have Lyme disease, they offer special discounts to Lyme patients. Ozone is okay, but I tried that too and the Infrared sauna is tops, hands down!!!

I also am considering FIS. Are you all referring to the expensive "sitting-up" version, or the much more reasonable "tent-like" version that you lay underneath? Admittedly, I've only just started to research this - but I'd be interested to know what most people find helpful.

I prefer the ones you can lie down in. Then I can zone out or meditate or read or sometimes even sleep. Currently using a sunlight sauna solo system on a massage table. The sunlights seem to be the most well built, and for many it is a lifetime investment.

because the heating units can break, some recommend that you go with a company that will give a lifetime guarantee.
we are looking at both the cabinet and tabletop versions, for us right now, it's which one will be used by our teen. finicky as they are, lying down will seem more like an "illness treatment". while i would prefer the sunlight solo, because of comfort, cost and portability, this has to be considered before we invest. it will do no good if it doesn't get used.

I haven't tried ozone but I have used far infrared sauna. I find that the sauna makes me feel better but it's more about detox than addressing neuro issues.
It depends on the state my body is in. Right now, I have been using herbs to treat the Lyme. I feel like I''m going through alot of physical issues with the herbs so I haven't been going to the sauna as much. If I had a sauna here - I might use it for a short time. I go to a Korean sauna so it's about a 20 minute drive.
I wouldn't expect the sauna to cure neuro issues but they are great for detoxification. I guess the treatment for Lyme is like "death by 1000 cuts". All the things we do can work little by little. It takes time & you have to think of it in those terms.

thanks sparkle, yes. agreed, we've been at this for six years.
in our situation, we need something to take the edge off physical and mental stressors, perhaps help the unrelenting insomnia, with added benefit of detox and increased blood circulation. we realize it won't take care of the cause of neuro symptoms. i do wan't to be cautious that it won't risk exacerbating them, tho.
