009: Don’t Do This At Home…
The Therasage Thera360 Plus Full Spectrum IR Sauna
This is the infrared sauna I use at home. It goes up to 170 degrees Fahrenheit, has a timer and also incorporates red light therapy. Remember to start at a lower temperature for shorter times and gradually work your way up to 17O degrees for 20 - 30 minutes 4 times a week or more for maximum benefit.
And as always seek the advise of a qualified medical professional prior to use to make sure it is safe for you to use a sauna.
Try it for 4 weeks and see if you don’t notice some amazing benefits. Through my link you even have a 30 day return policy if you don’t like it.
