I like saunas, sometimes. They are relaxing, it makes you slow down. Only problem is that regular saunas can be a little too hot for my liking.
Sometimes it's fine. If the temperature is a little lower than normal and noone has poured any water on the hot rocks then it isn't so hot and steamy.
Yes I know, a sauna is supposed to be hot and steamy isn't it? Well yes, but there are limits. Beyond a certain time I start to gasp. My wife, on the other hand, loves it as hot as it can get.
Maybe it's a boy/girl thing. I know that in many cases men seem to feel the heat much more than women. In summer on a hot day I'm dying while my wife is out there sitting in the sun. Maybe men feel the heat much more than women. I don't know, but I do know she revels in the sauna while I gasp most of the time.
And if you love a nice sauna but your man is a little like me and finds it too hot then there is an alternative. I've recently come across infrared saunas. A whatred sauna I hear you ask? An infrared sauna.
An infrared sauna is one which is heated by a different method than regular saunas. Regular saunas, or what is known as a Finnish or hot rock sauna, is one which works by means of heating the air, which is why I gasp.
An infra red sauna on the other hand, works by heating you the suana user, but not the air. How? By the use of infrared rays. You know infrared rays, that's what heats you every time the sun comes out from behind the clouds. And as it heats by infrared rays it doesn't make you gasp. It heats you, but not the air.
Infrared saunas can sometimes be known as FIR saunas. The FIR stands for far infra red, which is the wavelength of sunlight where the infared light it.
It seems that a good sauna has some health benefits. It's said that it makes it easier to lose weight, does all sorts of good things for your skin and cardio vascular system and lots lots more. Who knows, but a sauna is still a lovely time.
So if you love the sauna and you'd love your man to join you, but it leaves him gasping, treat him to an infrared sauna. He won't gasp and you may well find that he loves saunas as much as you do once he isn't feeling the heat so much.
It's a wonderful idea for the holidays. You're both relaxed, feeling good and have the time, treat him to a sauna, and if he feels the heat see how he goes with an infrared sauna.
