- Of course, be certain no manufactured woods or plastics are used at all - anywhere in the unit.
Be sure of how they treat the wood and if non-toxic glues are used. If they don't say, then they probably don't use non-toxic glues and it would be best to find one that does.
Heavenly Heat is a brand known to be safe. =

Please give me your input and if you have one PLEASE let me know if it worth it?
I've been looking around for one too. I like the one at the link you gave. Pretty nice and reasonably priced.
This is the one I used at the Hansa Center where I was treated for lyme disease almost a month ago. It's a really nice unit too but they don't post the prices for some reason. You have to write to them to get the pricing information. I really liked using it but I don't know if it's the "best" one out there. Take a look at it and see what you think:

Sunlight saunas just came out with a new line of saunas- SO they are discounting last years models- They are a very good company- They have some that are made from basswood- Thats what i would get

Can you use these things with catheters? I would be worrying that sweating will cause the dressing to come loose.

Lou I think the answer is no.....my friend with a chest port doesn't go in his sauna while there is a dressing on.

Hi Roy, I bought an infrared sauna a year ago and love it.
The main thing I was told to make sure is that the sauna had carbon heaters, not ceramic and that the wood was non-toxic.
Depending on the size you are looking for, a good 1-2 person carbon sauna can cost about $1000.

I bought the Hemlock 2 person sauna from National Pool Wholesale. It is one of the cheapest saunas but I have been happy with it for about 2 years now. Heaters work great. There was a time that I used it everyday for about 6 months. The floor wasn't made real well (some pieces a bit loose) but it works fine.
I know people question whether Hemlock is safe but I found it has less odor than the Cedar ones. Just thought I would share my experience. So many of us with lyme are strapped for cash.
I also have a portable sauna that folds up. Those only cost about $200-300 (I got mine used on Craigslist for $100). They really heat up quickly and get you sweating. Your head is outside so you are not breathing anything toxic.
