Infrared Sauna & Steam Sauna News

A new book called “Beat The Flu Bird Flu” claims saunas are one of the way to tackle the flu infection.

Mr Avlicino, the author of the book said: “The book talks about self-help measures that can prevent infection. For instance, it says use alcohol hand sanitizers. Thaw frozen meat and poultry in the fridge not on kitchen work top. Install a shoe-dip on your doorsteps. Have a hot sauna to rid the body of viruses. Bathe in a light bleach solution to kill germs on your skin. Use UV light, with caution, to disinfect rooms. Don’t share dishes, cutlery towels or bedding with anybody”.

I guess this applies to all type of flu and is another great excuse to get steamy - however a comunial sauna might not make you popular - you might have trouble explaining how that sneeze won’t pass germs in this heat.

If you find yourself in california and your feeling the need to sauna then why not pop into Gardena Sauna, Gardena CA. Oh, and you’ll also have to be female to enjoy the facilities. It’s perfect for women who would rather not share with us fat sweaty men and host a load of other women friendly stuff like body scrubs, tanning rooms, chinese herb therapy and foot massages. It has a salon as well.

Regarding saunas side of things it has 4 jacuzzi, heated stone therapy (you can sleep on it! and lose as many calories as a 20k run - not sure about that), dry sauna, hot sauna, cold sauna?!, warm sauna, salt sauna (interesting) .
