Install a Sauna in Your Home

Saunas were invented in Scandinavia and were originally designed to fulfill a few purposes: 1) Relaxation. There’s nothing better than to “chill” so to speak in a sauna to loosen up those tightened, nerve-wracked muscles; 2) Community – Hanging out together in a sauna brings people closer together, and simply allows them to spend time together. 3) Sweat. Sweating releases toxins from your body through your skin and you may not realize it but your body will thank you profusely. Toxins should never stay in the body too long and saunas are a great way to eliminate them. 3) This also invigorates the skin, and you will appear much younger than you are.

In general, you remove poisons your body, and at the same time, you get your body to unwind, which most people absolutely need. Otherwise, you end up with complicated health issues and well, you just don’t need to deal with that if you have a choice, do you?

About the Sauna
Detoxify, speed up the healing process, and purify the skin in the comfort of your own home with the Ironman Carbon Tech two-person sauna. Made of elegant hemlock, the Carbon Tech distributes heat far more evenly than most ceramic units, with a warmup time that’s roughly twice as fast as traditional units (15 to 20 minutes vs. 35 to 40 minutes). The sauna also requires less energy than ceramic saunas, with an ultra-thin heating unit that takes up a minimum of space without sacrificing temperature (the sauna reaches a maximum of 140 degrees F). And because of the even heat distribution and lack of hot spots, users can sit in the sauna for longer periods without burning. Now you can nourish your skin, cleanse your immune system, and relieve nasal congestion without driving to the gym or visiting a spa.

Other details include a double-thick (8 mm) tempered glass door that lets in outside light, an interior light, and a control panel for the built-in CD player and AM/FM tuner. The Carbon Tech, which comfortably seats up to two people, measures 47 by 41 by 75 inches.

You know that plastic / vinyl (PVC) shower curtain you have? It’s really bad for you. Not only does it emit toxic fumes from the curtain while you’re showering, it will end up leaching even more toxic chemicals later when it’s piled into a landfill. Plastic and PVC is bad and takes hundreds of years to decompose, but it only takes a little heat for it to release poisons for you and your family to breath. Yeah, I know. It sucks.

Try to avoid using any plastic products whatsoever, no matter how challenging that will be. A note: guess who produces plastics? The same people who are causing havoc with oil: The oil and petroleum industry. Greedy oil people are polluting with their oil spills AND their plastic. They really should be locked away. Forever.

An natural and safe alternative to using plastic and vinyl shower curtains is hemp. The hemp shower curtain will get wet, but will not leak through. It will also rapidly air dry which slows mold growth associated with plastic liners. The hemp shower curtain has a natural resistance to mildew and bacteria and can be machine washed to clean any grime buildup. After machine washing simply hang the curtain up to dry, any wrinkles will disappear during showering.
