Dr Peter Attia is a Canadian doctor, who has received notoriety for his work on health and longevity, and he has identified sauna bathing as a beneficial practice for boosting vitality. Through Dr Attia’s exploration of the available research on the benefits of sauna use, he has produced some recommendations on how best to use sauna bathing to maximise health and longevity.
Dr Peter Attia believes that the benefits seen with saunas may be very similar to the benefits seen with exercise, and explains that the data is robust in support of heat therapy. Dr Attia advises that dry saunas are used for 20 minutes or more, four times a week, at 80 degrees Celsius.

How can colour therapy complement the health benefits of an Infrared Sauna?
Is colour therapy a new concept?
The use of colour for healing purposes can be traced back to ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks who all recognised the potential healing powers of light from the sun. Temples and sun filled rooms were built to harness this light.
The visible light spectrum is seen in the Chakra system, representing energy centres within the body. Each chakra is related to a colour of the light spectrum, linking the lowest part of the body to the low colour frequency red, up to the crown chakra with the highest frequency colour violet.

How much power does a Traditional Sauna use?
Traditional saunas vary greatly with variable factors such as size of the sauna cabin, temperature of the outer environment, and materials such as glass doors.

Traditional or Infrared?
How do you want to feel in the sauna? What environment sounds more suited to you? Does one offer an element that suits your lifestyle more? What will you use your sauna for?
This post explores the differences in Traditional and Infrared saunas.
What is at the heart of a sauna?
The heart of the sauna is what powers your sauna.
Traditional saunas, also known as Finnish saunas, conventional saunas or steam saunas can be traced long back in ancient history. At its heart, a sauna heater containing sauna stones aids in the distribution of the heat. The bather controls the environment within the Finnish sauna via a thermostatic temperature control, as well as the ability to pour water over the hot stones to create bursts of steam, which significantly elevates the humidity inside the Finnish sauna room.

Now, perhaps more so than any other time in our recent past, the global community views health as the ultimate wealth. As the pandemic takes hold, we understand now more acutely than ever before how important it is to protect and maximise our health.

In this series of articles, we will share some top tips and industry secrets to get you started on your sauna journey and to help you choose the perfect sauna for any property or budget.
The first thing to consider when building a sauna is which method of sauna construction is right for you. There are two options to choose from which we call 'Pre-fab' and 'Pre-cut'.
A 'Pre-fab' sauna is by far the most common in the UK and is very easy to install. Most of the work is done for you in the factory in Finland. These saunas arrive flat packed with the walls already fully formed with insulation already fitted inside. 'A Pre-fab' sauna will simply screw together and once assembled, you will be the proud owner of a free-standing, self-contained, sauna cabin which could sit in the corner of any room in the house and can be taken down and reinstalled in another location
