Brief History:
The first recorded use of saunas was by a tribe called the Finns who lived in an area northwest of Tibet. They used saunas for mental, spiritual and physical cleansing. They migrated to the area now known as Finland between 5,000 and 3,000 BC. Saunas are still very popular in the European community, especially in Scandinavian countries.
Native American Indians also used saunas or sweat lodges as part of their healing and tribal rituals.
In the United States numerous infared devices have been incorporated into a variety of medical settings and have become a welcome addition to many homes.
