For many people, sitting in a sauna means making an appointment at a spa or is simply a luxury they can't afford. The very thought of a personal sauna is almost immediately negated by the prospect of high electricity bills.
Nowadays a sauna no longer means that because infrared saunas have taken the market by storm. Infrared saunas are less cumbersome and more effective in function than the traditional saunas.
Sauna is primarily meant for relaxing and rejuvenating the body. The traditional saunas function by producing steam and high temperatures, which open up the body pores and aid in relaxation.

The best part about infrared radiation is that it penetrates the skin to about an inch and heats it. In consequence, infrared produces same relaxing effect as the traditional sauna in low temperatures.
