Saunas For the Home Come of Age

If you are looking for a great way to stay healthy, get clean and relax in a way that you never have before, its time to take a look and see what a dry sauna has to offer! Although you might have picture of a room with dry heat that simply sound uncomfortable, a dry sauna is only named this way to distinguish it from the traditional saunas found in Finland, where the action is powered by steam.
You'll find, in fact that steam is a major part of getting the right action out of the dry sauna.Essentially, you'll find that dry saunas feel hotter than their traditional counterparts, despite the temperature being the same. The air in a wet sauna is left quite humid and the heat is transferred from the air to your skin in a way that is more efficient and effective.
This will cause you to sweat more profusely, something that will open your pores and help you sweat out the impurities that have been caught in your skin. A dry sauna, on the other hand, has a lower amount of humidity in the air, which will made it feel more warm. The important thing to remember about the dry sauna is that you will sweat less, but that you will still get clean.
For those who might have breathing problems, a dry sauna is ideal due to the fact that the humidity is not nearly so oppressive. Although others prefer moist heat to allow the lungs to benefit from moisture and perhaps aromatherapy benefits offered by some steam saunas.
Many people compare the air quality that you get in a dry sauna to what you will experience in the American Southwest, where the air is very hot but also very dry. One important factor to being in the dry sauna is that it will make you lose weight in more effectively.
It is estimated that the average person who spends 20 minutes in a dry sauna could burn about 300 calories. Burning 300 calories can be roughly equivalent to going on quick short jog or longish walk. The Swedish Olympic team brings a dry sauna to international competition, and you'll find that Swedish cities are never short on places to get a dry sauna! It is also significant to realize that the weight you burn in a dry sauna, unlike what you will lose in a wet sauna, is not water weight and will not instantly rebound on you.There are many things to consider when you are looking to see if a dry sauna is for you, but the best way is simply to walk in and see how you feel!
