Fascinated by Sauna Rooms? Want to enjoy a sauna room experience at the convenience of your home? Planning to incorporate sauna to your property? But do you know what the different types of saunas available are? Let us explore more about the different types of sauna rooms below:

Traditional Finnish Sauna

The traditional Finnish saunas make use of extreme ambient air temperature and a bit of moisture for elevating the core temperature. However, that doesn't mean that your sauna will bake you alive! What actually happens is - your internal body temperature only increases a degree or two during every session. Again, the traditional Finnish sauna involves moisture. These saunas have option to pour water on hot rocks that release a bit of steam and humidity into the atmosphere called as “löyly” in Finnish.

Cedar Sauna

The cedar saunas only make use of extreme ambient air temperature for elevating the core temperature. The main difference between the traditional sauna and cedar sauna is that there is no bucket of water required for pouring over the rocks. Therefore, there is only about 20 percent humidity in a cedar sauna, which is why, it is often called as dry sauna. While both the saunas use the same temperature but the feeling is different when you walk outside due to the difference in the humidity levels. The more humid, the more you sweat! Another major difference between cedar sauna and traditional sauna is the smell and view of the cedar counterpart. The cedar wood smell may make you feel like having an aromatherapy session!

Infrared Sauna

The newest style of sauna is the infrared sauna. An infrared sauna uses a form of light wave for creating heat in the room and elevating the core temperature. Infrared sauna is a bit technical option among the various sauna options available. When you get into an infrared sauna, you begin to feel the warmth. However, you cannot see energy emitted from the infrared sauna panels as the it is extremely close to the wavelength that is same as the energy that a human body emits. These infrared waves penetrate your body tissues and increase your internal temperature and create sweating.

Which Sauna Should You Choose?

Saunas are existing since thousands of years - when electricity and even photon was not known to anyone. People believed that heat exposure is one of the most powerful tools for maintaining personal health and improving strength training and endurance. But till date no report has been out yet that claims that any type of sauna is better than the other! So determining which sauna is better cannot be concluded. It all depends upon your need, availability of space and required amenities for the same.
