Yesterday we went to the Aquatic Centre to watch our 4 year old swim. We always put the kids towels in the sauna so they are nice & warm for the kids after swimming. I stepped in it & siad how INCREDIBLE it felt. I wanted to stay in it...fully dressed!
While I was at work today my sweetheart did a whole bunch of research to find that the new wave is Saunas is Inrared ones & all the health benefits to having one, especially for Fibro...& he bought one!!
I am so excited...it even has a CD player built into it. Wish I could have you all over for a Sauna party.

I used to love the heat, but I also have MS and heat is very bad for it. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm so glad that your husband did that for you. I hope that it helps you and you enjoy it. I can't take a whole lot of heat so I probably couldn't get in one.

I bought an infra red sauna a few months ago for detoxing and duly intended having 3 half hour sessions a week.
I managed to get the 2nd session finished before I went into detox overdrive the like of which I have never experienced before and ended up having to go to the hospital.

It took 3 weeks before I managed to get rid of the toxins that had been thrown into my blood by the sauna.

Toxins are stored in the fat in our bodies and saunas, when they sweat out the toxins from the fat, at the same time encourage toxins in other areas of our bodies to migrate into our blood.

If your liver and kidneys are not in tip top condition then they cannot excrete the toxins quickly(especially if your taking pharma drugs) and the toxins stay in your blood and make you feel like your dying!

Take my advice START USING YOUR SAUNA SLOWLY SAY 10 MINS AT A TIME AND BUILD UP SLOWLY OVER A FAIRLY LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

wonderful...I love the sauna! I use one at my gym when I go. I used one on vacation recently that sounds like the one you may be getting. It holds 2 people and you can play music while you are in it.

Enjoy!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

    My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
