CEDAR
Cedar Saunas
Cedar is another popular wood choice for saunas, prized for its distinctive aroma and natural resistance to decay and insects. The rich, reddish-brown hue of cedar wood adds warmth and character to any sauna space, creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. Beyond its visual appeal, cedar is renowned for its aromatic properties, which can enhance the sensory experience of sauna bathing.
In addition to its aromatic allure, cedar wood is naturally resistant to moisture, making it an ideal option for sauna construction. The natural oils present in cedar wood act as a protective barrier against moisture and humidity, reducing the risk of rot and decay. This inherent resistance to moisture makes cedar saunas a popular choice for outdoor and high-humidity environments.
1. Natural Durability and Resistance
Cedar wood is renowned for its long-lasting qualities, making it an ideal choice for the damp, hot conditions of a sauna. Its natural oils repel moisture, preventing mold and mildew buildup, which not only protects the wood but also ensures a cleaner and healthier environment for sauna users.
Resistant to Decay: Cedar’s heartwood has natural preservatives that are resistant to decay and rot, extending the lifespan of your sauna.
Repels Insects and Moisture: The oils within cedar naturally repel insects and prevent moisture damage, crucial for maintaining sauna integrity.
2. Comparing Cedar Saunas to Other Materials
While other woods like hemlock or pine can be used for saunas, cedar has distinct advantages:
Heat Insulation: Cedar has superior insulating properties, which help keep the sauna hot with less energy.
Sound Absorption: The density of cedar helps keep external noise at bay, enhancing the tranquility of your sauna experience.
3. Aesthetic Appeal
Cedar’s rich color and appealing grain pattern add a touch of luxury and tranquility to any sauna design. The wood’s ability to maintain its shape and smooth texture over time, even under high humidity and temperature fluctuations, ensures that your sauna remains a centerpiece of beauty in your home.
4. Health Benefits of Cedar
Cedar wood is not just pleasing to the eye but also beneficial for your health.
Aromatic Oils: Cedar emits a natural aroma that is not only soothing but can also help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Air Quality: The wood’s properties include an ability to improve air quality, making breathing easier and more comfortable.
5. Maintenance and Care for Cedar Saunas
Caring for a cedar sauna is straightforward, ensuring its beauty and functionality for years to come.
Occasional Sanding: Light sanding can help maintain the smooth surface of cedar.
Proper Ventilation: Ensuring good ventilation helps preserve cedar’s natural properties and prevents excessive moisture buildup.

INFRARED HEATER
Carbon crystal heating plate
1. Health risks associated with high heat are much lower in an infrared sauna that uses carbon heaters. The longer wavelengths and lower temperatures get the room up to temperature faster and more efficiently. Carbon distributes heat evenly on its long wavelengths. This process of warming penetrates the skin deeper than the forced heat in traditional ceramic. This results in higher detoxification and a cleaner sweat.
2. Carbon infrared sauna heaters reduce the risk of heat-associated health problems even further. Lower temperatures due to longer infrared wavelengths from carbon heating elements allow your body to safely tolerate longer sessions inside your infrared sauna. Also, infrared heat from carbon heaters penetrates deeper into your skin than infrared heat from a ceramic heater, allowing for more effective therapy and better results.
Full spectrum heater
Full spectrum heater are unique in that they emit near, mid, and far infrared heat all at once. This means that in addition to the far infrared benefits listed above, full spectrum saunas can be good for localized pain relief, cell health, skin renewal, and wound healing.
Adding near infrared heat to the mix is this sauna’s super power. Every cell in our body contains a structure called the mitochondria (a.k.a., “the powerhouse of the cell”). All of our bodily functions rely on them working at full capacity. Lazy or fatigued mitochondria result in dysfunctional systems that many experts argue contribute to conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, thyroid and/or adrenal imbalances, and even lingering athletic injuries.
However, surrounding the mitochondria are tiny photoreceptors. When exposed to near infrared heat, these receptors cue the mitochondria to pump more oxygen into your bloodstream. These re-energized mitochondria, then, help reverse the damage in the system and, thus, ease the severity of symptoms.
BENEFITS OF USING A SAUNA
1. Relieve stress
2. Relax muscles and soothe aches/pains in both muscles and joints
3. Flush toxins
4. Cleanse the skin
Heat bathing is one of the oldest beauty and/or health strategies in terms of cleansing one’s skin. When the body begins to produce sweat via deep sweating, the skin is then cleansed and dead skin cells are replaced – keeping your skin in good working condition.Sweating rinses bacteria out of the epidermal layer and sweat ducts. Cleansing of the pores has been shown to improve the capillary circulation, while giving the skin a softer-looking quality. Bathing skin in sweat on a fairly regular basis, therefore deters collagen breakdown that can ultimately result in wrinkles and sags. By continually flushing body waste through individual cells, one eventually brings back vitality, tone and a healthy glow to the skin. Sauna usage is certainly not a cure for acne, but it can very often help – due to the deep cleansing it provides from a deep sweat (that is, cleaning the pores from the very inside out – instead of just cleaning the top of the skin).
5. Induce a deeper sleep
6. Help burn calories
Outlandish claims are often made by some sauna sellers (primarily those who sell infrared saunas) to promote saunas as an end-all weight loss tool. While some individuals may experience high amounts of calorie burn at first – particularly those individuals in poor shape to begin with – over the long term, saunas are simply treated as one of many tools in our arsenal when it comes to burn additional calories.The sweating process itself requires a notable amount of energy. That energy is derived from the conversion of fat and carbohydrates in a bodily process that burns up calories. According to U.S. Army medical research (Ward Dean, M.D.), “A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 grams in a sauna in a single session, consuming nearly 300 calories in the process.”The body consumes said calories due to the acceleration of heart activity (the cardiovascular section). As heart activity increases and as these processes demand more oxygen, the body begins to convert more calories into usable energy.
