Nothing can be more relaxing than a good sauna bath. If you like to carry your sauna along with you, everywhere you go, portable saunas are meant for you. A portable sauna is a folding structure that includes a heater and a bench inside it. It can be folded to become a small movable structure and can be opened like a tent. Nowadays, you can also find different variants of portable saunas in the form of portable sauna belt that can be tied around the waist or infrared heat dome that can be used at the body part where you want to receive the light heat.

Portable saunas are also a good buy for people who live in small houses and do not have enough space to store a permanent sauna. Before purchasing a portable sauna, it is a good idea to learn about its working, maintenance and also the benefits of using it.

Working of a Portable Sauna:

A portable sauna features an applicator or spray device inside it. An applicator is a container used to store water or even essential oils inside the sauna. To heat the sauna, it features infrared lamps that have the capability to act on the depth of the epidermis.

Benefits of a Sauna

The main benefit of using a sauna is elimination of toxins from the body by opening of body pores. The soft heat in a sauna stimulates the blood circulation in the body, lowers blood pressure and also helps in relaxation of muscles due to oxygenation of arteries. Saunas are also used in gym as they are believed to promote loss of excess weight. Some critics argue that sauna is only capable of sweating off the body without burning any calories. Whereas others argue that sweating occurs only when any form of physical activity happens and therefore it involves energy expenditure.

Sauna is also referred as an excellent beauty treatment. It helps to fight acne, cellulite, and also reduces stretch marks and wrinkles. Heat of a sauna also helps in opening of facial pores and removes dead cells to let skin breathe and help it look fresh and energetic.

Maintenance of Portable Sauna

After every usage, make sure to fold it properly and store it in a safe area away from pets and children. Give enough time to the portable sauna to cool before you fold it. Read and follow the instructions carefully during the first time you use the sauna.
