There are 2 types of Saunas in addition to a mix between the two, but it is good to clarify that only the traditional type, ie Finnish is the classic sauna while the second type, infrared, goes more properly called infrared cabin.

There are 2 types of Saunas in addition to a mix between the two, but it is good to clarify that only the traditional type, ie Finnish is the classic sauna while the second type, infrared, goes more properly called infrared cabin.

To choose between these models it is necessary to take the different aspects into consideration.
For steam lovers in the sauna and higher temperatures in terms of space, energy used and longer heating time, the Finnish sauna should certainly be preferred.
If you prefer lower temperatures and an immediate use without waiting times with the heat that really penetrates the body, choose the infrared cabin.
The mix between the two models, is normally referred to as a combined sauna and integrates, as it is understandable, both systems.

It must be said that both the cabins and the saunas are ideal for relaxation, the consequent reduction of stress, sweating and relief from some muscular pains and joints. Unlike infrared cabins, in the Finnish sauna you can increase the humidity of the environment by pouring water on the hot stones.

Temperatures
In an infrared cabin, the temperature reached ranges from 40 ° C to 60 ° C.
In a Finnish sauna, however, it varies between 60 ° and 90 ° C.

Despite this temperature difference, the infrared cabin is still effective as it is not built to heat the room but, through infrared rays, produces effects directly on the body and also, the more bearable temperature allows a longer use time of the cabin to every session.
The infrared energy produced, is close to the same wavelength of that which the body emits, often naturally, called "Campo Vitale" (from 7 to 14 microns). Infrared energy penetrates the skin deeply and warms up the muscles and joints. So they increase body temperature and transpiration.

In an infrared sauna, it is important for the emitters / heaters to remain on almost constantly, as when they are switched off, the sauna cools quickly.

A traditional sauna, however, is designed to be used only when the environment is already heated. In fact, the internal heating in the interior induces user sweating. If the sauna has been pre-heated properly, the walls and rocks emit vaguely infrared heat, combined with the heated air to create an enveloping warmth.
Moreover, in the traditional sauna, during use, by pouring water on the rocks, steam is generated which, by increasing the humidity of the sauna, produces benefits on the respiratory system that "frees" itself.

In both infrared and traditional saunas, aroma and chromo therapy instruments are also present.

Pre-heating times
These also differ in the two types of healthy.

The infrared cabin has an immediate heating, so much so that it can be used already when switched on. However it is advisable to wait a few minutes to find the environment a little warmer.

The traditional sauna instead requires a pre-heating time of about 30-40 minutes.
The usage time is normally 10-15 minutes although, for those using the infrared cabin, you can stay longer (up to about 30 - 35 minutes).
