Yes, it's winter time again, and it's cold outside. The quick, brisk breeze of the ice filled air send shivers down to your very core. Your swollen fingers are like icicles, capable of being shattered with the slightest touch. Maybe you enjoy the cold weather; for those of us that don't there is a simple escape: A personal, portable infrared sauna.



Infrared saunas give you a feeling like a fresh summer day where the sunlight warms your skin in the morning. It's kind of like your own tropical escape in a suitcase: You can take it with you wherever you go.

So what exactly is a portable infrared sauna?

These portable infrared saunas are somewhat similar to a sauna that you would find in a gym or near a pool. Infrared saunas differ in the way of how the heat that you feel is produced. A conventional sauna uses heated steam to warm the air around you, creating a very hot environment, sometimes almost unbearably hot; whereas an infrared sauna uses waves, similar to the sun, to transmit heat into your skin. The heat derived from an infrared sauna is much more subtle and penetrates deeply, causing a greater feeling of rejuvenation than a conventional sauna can produce, according to some users.

Portable infrared saunas create an atmosphere of ultimate relaxation while whisking away the cares of your day and cleansing both your body and mind. This body cleansing experience comes in the way of removal of man made toxins from your body due to increased perspiration from the penetrating heat of the infrared sauna.

Not all infrared saunas are portable, however. Due to monetary and physical differences between a portable and non-portable infrared sauna: the portable version is much easier to obtain and can be used in a variety of locations. At home, at the office during your lunch break, in your hotel room while traveling: A perfect escape that can be carried with you wherever you go.
