December 14, 2007, Newsletter Issue #90: What Kind Of Wood To Use When Building A Sauna

Tip of the Week

When building a sauna, specifically a free-standing sauna, you'll most likely want to use wood for the housing. Cedar wood is the traditional choice, as it gives off a nice aroma. In general, solid wood logs are the best choice for building a sauna's housing, and should be ventilated well and at least 4in thick. Spruce paneling on the inside of the structure is a good choice.

For the benches, you may want another kind of wood. Spruce, aspen, and alder wood are all good choices. Pine and teak are other possible choices, but birch should not be used because of poor durability.

Detoxify with a Sunlight Sauna.

Sweating is the body's safe and natural way to heal and stay healthy. Sweat carries toxins out of the body and carries it through the pores.

Detoxification from a Sunlight Sauna is 7 to 10 times greater than a conventional sauna because it operates more effectively at temperatures 60 to 80 degrees lower than conventional saunas.
In a conventional sauna the average person sweats out 3% toxins and 97% water. In a Sunlight Sauna, the average person sweats out 20% toxins and 80% water!

Other health benefits of sweat with a Sunlight Sauna:
• Body and mind relaxation
• Pain relief
• Weight loss
• Blood circulation
• Skin purification
• Lower blood pressure
