Anyone have/use a portable sauna?

Following. The research on sauna therapy and extending lifespan is pretty compelling. I don't recall what temps ranges are most effective, but I'm curious if 130 degree max is sufficient?

Just spend your summers in Central Texas. That’ll do it.

My hot tub was $14K (i didn't pay that) but the chemicals every week is $ and a PIA but it really helps if you have arthritis.

Go sit in your pickup when it’s over a hundred.

Hah! So true!

I’ve been thinking about one. My gym can’t seem to maintain theirs because of the dumb chits that pour water on the heater.

I am in my Saunabox right now for the first time. Like it says, 15mins or so to get going and producing steam, but it's cooking now. I've got my digital thermometer in here to see how hot it gets.

We put in a 'real' sauna when we built our retirement home in our master bath. By real, it's an insulated cedar wall/ceiling room with a tile floor. The lava rocks are electrically heated and we ladle water over them. The thermometer reads 180F+ when we use it, and water labeled over the lava rocks creates steam. We bought the heater from Finlandia Sauna is in Portland Oregon, and sells only sauna supplies from Sweden.

It seemed to hold between 118 and 120 if I held it at chest level while sitting in the chair. There is a small steam dispenser that you put in the floor and down close to it I was getting 160plus. If the goal is to raise body temperature, it works IMO.

If you stand up and move slightly you can really feel the heat. I wanted to get the full effect so I had some pants and a hoodie on the first 15-20mins and it was hot to quite hot.

Thanks for the feedback. Tempting.
