A sauna is a small room or bathhouse designed to be heated to very high temperatures with well-controlled humidity. It is used for both recreational and therapeutic purposes. Saunas give great relaxation and health benefits. Also, the sweating delivers toxins from the body. Most saunas are made of wood that are often aromatic, producing pleasing aromas as they heat. There are a wide variety of sauna options available these days. Wood, electricity, gas or other non-conventional means such as solar power are the heat sources used in saunas.

Wet saunas are kept at lower temperatures than their dry counterparts, usually between 100-115 degrees F. Dry saunas are kept at much higher temperatures (up to 250 degrees F) thereby keeping the ambient moisture down to about zero.

The ozone sauna is an ideal way to deliver oxygen to the body. This sauna is helpful for the treatments of herpes, aids, lyme disease, hepatitis and other conditions. Ozone sauna treatments improve the overall good health of a person.

Infrared saunas use a special heater, which produces infrared rays similar to those produced by the sun.

The typical Finnish home saunas are constructed on the shores of a lake or river. They usually have a stove and a set of benches at different levels. When the temperature inside the sauna reaches about 175-195 degrees F, water is thrown over the rocks on top of the heater to create wafts of steam.

Radiant heat saunas, personal saunas, outdoor saunas, indoor saunas, modular saunas, home saunas, fir saunas and bulb saunas are the other types of saunas. Residential and commercial saunas are also available.
