Re: FIR Sauna - Not sweating

I don't always sweat in the FIR bag either, and I've used it off and on for a year or more. Other times it makes me sick to my stomach (basic heat intolerant reaction)

When that happens, I stop doing the FIR bag for a while, and make sure to drink a lot of water. Our air here is really dry in winter, and that means drinking way more than normal, and making sure I'm replacing electrolytes.

Hubby makes me what he calls "Poor man's Gatorade" with water, lemon juice, organic honey, and sea salt. I drink that after a good sweat, but not if I'm not sweating at all.

Just some ideas if anyone else is having problems with the FIR sweats. :)
 
Re: FIR Sauna - Not sweating

Gimpy,

Thanks for reply

Ireland is a moist climate, but will hydrate more, and see if it has any impact


Thanks Psyche,


Will pick up some of them ....



Laurentien,


Thanks for your detailed response .... I am asking the same question, should,nt the sauna cause me to sweat ?? , I have put sauna up to full tilt for 45 mins and sat in it for 1:15 Hours, without hydrating (only testing !!) and became dehydrated, but not sweat.

I will need to take oral temperature when I use Sauna and see what results are.

I do not think there are quality issues with the product, but may have to do some tests as my assumption was the FIR sauna alone could produce sweat rather than using a blow heater to bring temperature up to 70 celsius ....

Will run tests on internal heat generated in sauna every 15 minutes and log these.


I will do as stated in all mails, and use regularly for a month, will start using DMSA after third or fourth week and see if anything happens.
 
Re: FIR Sauna - Not sweating

With notes of caution regarding Laura's post--follow her instructions. If you have gradually increased the heat and temps after having done it a while--then read this
What I do with my FIR, because I have a really cheap model--is get inside the single box and sit on the floor. On really cold nights--because it gets sub-zero here sometimes-- I put a blanket over it.

I hadn't been in my FIR in a while and was finding myself getting quite irritable do to inflammation, even in brain. reducing inflammation is just remarkable in its effects.
On a side note--after having read the posts about throat constriction I am doing the pipe breathing more effectively by keeping my back and neck much straighter and thinking BAh when I breathe in.
 
Re: FIR Sauna - Not sweating

Hi, crumdub12:

FWIW,

We keep the house thermostat at 67F in the winter. The room I use my sauna bag in likely doesn't reach above 64F.
In the winter when the room is cool it takes 40 to 60 minutes to reach a rolling sweat even at a bag setting of 60C.
In the summer when the room is warmer a good sweat comes in about 20 minutes at a lower setting maybe 55C.

I find that if I am physically active right before a bag session a sweat comes more quickly. I usually drink a glass water just before getting into the bag mixed with a little Vitamin C.

Like the others have said it takes some experimenting to learn what is right for you. Worth the effort though. I feel so much fresher and energy is renewed.

Hmmm... I gather you are using a sauna box thing. I tried one of those and it was miserable. Like the sauna blanket much better.

I have the Far Infrared Thermal Energy Heat Sauna Blanket from Promolife. Been using it about once a week for just over 2 years.

Re: FIR Sauna - Not sweating

It takes me a while to sweat in my sauna as well. It helps to pre-heat it. I've also found recently, when doing the 3-stage breathing in the sauna (with my arms out), that pipe breathing brings on the sweating faster.

Ditto, as does preheating the air around the sauna blanket with a fan heater before getting in.

Re: FIR Sauna - Not sweating

Appreciate all your comments on this thread,


Have learned a lot, and now have different perspective on FIR
 
Re: FIR Sauna Burning Problem

I finally got my sauna blanket from Promolife last week. I've had three sessions in it so far and, holy cow do I ever sweat in that thing! I'm laying in a puddle by the end of the sessions I've done. I tried upping it to 60 minutes today, from a previous 40, for the first time and and even my head and face were sweating. I seem to be tolerating the heat fine. I've been doing 45 degrees C (about 113 degrees F) which seems pretty good. I may crank that up eventually, but for now I don't think I'd want to go higher.

I have DMSA, but haven't started it yet. I'm going to be doing the Detoxification and Healing protocol. I think I'll start March 1st with the first cycle.

One question - Sherry Rogers recommends niacin (B3) before the sauna. I'm guessing it's because of the "flush" it causes, opening up capillaries to a greater degree to really get into all the nooks and crannies to get those toxins out. Is pre-sauna niacin something recommended by people with some experience here? Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere - I'm going through all the sauna/metal cleanse related threads and haven't found it.

When I was seriously detoxing at the very beginning, I was using all the minerals and vitamins as Rogers recommends. But Niacin really affects me so I lowered the dose a little. Now I just keep up with my minerals in a general way, drink plenty of water before and after a sauna, and everything works well. In the beginning, I had trouble sweating so the niacin did help with that.

I also use lower heat settings and stay in longer: 52 C for the top tiers and 43 C for the lower legs tier. I usually put an old movie in the DVD player and that keeps me in the sauna for 90 minutes or so. I often fall asleep, too! I wear a sweat suit and socks in the sauna to absorb the sweat and shower after and disinfect the sauna and let it dry before putting it away.
 
Re: FIR Sauna Burning Problem

I have a small question (as usual :D)
Where do you guys get FIR sauna devices in Europe and how much does it cost ?
I am asking because I found that it is easy to get portable FIR sauna for around 200$ in USA and here in my country they want to charge around 1000$ :scared:

So clearly either I am looking at wrong device or there is huge gap in market in my country :)
 
Re: FIR Sauna Burning Problem

Thanks Laura. I hadn't thought about wearing clothing in the sauna. I figured the ideal would be to be as nekkid as possible so the FIR waves could penetrate fully. But I'm guessing they're not stopped by clothing. I put a towel under me in this morning's session and it worked well.

Since you're saying 52 C is going easy, I guess I need to crank it up! I went up to 48 C this morning on the upper sections and it seemed fine. I'll try 52 tomorrow.

I think I'll skip the niacin, though - I'm not having any issues sweating at all.

Thanks for the tips :)
 
Stranger, what did you end up doing?

Hi Kila,

If you live in the US, promolife is a good one to get. If you live in the US and get one from the UK you will have to get an adapter because the plugs won't plug into US outlets and the shipping will probably be a bit expensive.

If you live in the UK or Europe, then the place that Vulcan59 refers you to is the way to go, or so I think. :)

The blankets from promolife and Get-Fitt are not equal. Unfortunatly, the product from Get-Fitt ist nearly more than twice as much in the price (440 Pounds/570 Euros) as the Promolife blanket (around 300 Euros, depending on shipping costs)

I just don't know which one I should prefer. The generel information about both are the same (heat, time, temperature, etc.) but Get-Fitt told me that the Promolife blanket is not the same blanket they sale. Viewing the photos, I would prefer Get-Fitts' one, it seems to have better quality.

I did a lot of research into the Far-Infrared-Topic and I came to the conclusion that a wooden sauna from HighTechHealth for around 4000 dollars seems to be the best. But, of course, this is a lot of money and I need a portable thing. (But there are also wooden saunas available around 1500 dollars.)

I was talking with Promolife and they said if you want to have a good detox-sauna you have to buy the dome for 3500 dollars. All products which are cheaper, for example the blanket, come from china and there are low quality heaters in it. They couldn't even promise me or give me a document which proves that these sauna emits far-infared rays.

So in the end I am a little bit frustrated because I don't know which decision (and it is important because regardless what I buy, it is a lot of money) is the best for me.

I would prefer the blanket from Promolife because of the price, but if it is worthless there is no reason to give away a few hundred euros. Maybe it would be better to buy one from Get-Fitt but it is the same there, you don't know what you buy and where the blanket was manufactured, and by whom.

Do anyone of you have experiences with both blankets and can tell something about the differences?
