Which wood, would you choose?

Cedar, Hemlock, Basswood – why are there so many choices?

At Cabana Saunas, LLC we offer 2 types of wood, Cedar and Hemlock. You may be wondering why?

The main reasons are as follows:

• Our Cedar Saunas, are made from the highest quality cedar, known for it’s resistance to fungi and bacteria as well as repelling most insects and pests.
• Cedar gives off a pleasant aroma that can also have a therapeutic, and soothing effect. The Indians used cedar wood for all respiratory problems as well as for arthritis, rashes and menstrual pain.
• On the other hand some people are allergic to Cedar, therefore, Hemlock is an excellent choice.
• Hemlock is known for its natural strength and durability; it is naturally resistant to decay therefore ideal for our Cabana Saunas. It’s longevity is 300 – 1000 years, most other woods average 200 years. Hemlock is a strong, safe, very attractive and has an even grained wood texture.
• Hemlock is orderless and very hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for sensitive individuals
• Aesthetic reasons, Hemlock is a light brown color and Cedar is a dark brown color – giving you 2 options to match the decor in your house

Heaters – Something to Sweat About!

Ceramic, Carbon Fibre – OH MY!

Let me briefly discuss why we offer two types of heaters!

I’m sure you’ve heard that there are two types of heaters on the market for Far Infrared Saunas. An older technology being the Ceramic Heaters, and a newer technology being the Carbon Fibre. You will find some companies only sell one type of heater. Why? Maybe it’s because they have had great success with those heaters and want to continue to sell them. Maybe it’s because their manufacturer only distributes one type of heater, therefore that’s all they can offer. Or maybe they feel inferior to the latest technology and are afraid to change. In any case, don’t let a company’s inability to offer both types of heaters influence your decision! If you find someone making claims about one heater over the other, be sure to do your research. Make sure the information they are providing is from a reputable source (not their own manufacturer), and be sure it is backed by scientific proof!

At Cabana Saunas, LLC, we sell both types of heaters. They both work in the same fashion and emit Far Infrared Rays in the same spectrum. We are proud to offer both and provide the consumer the option to choose. Who wouldn’t want the ability to choose! Ask about the Cabana Sauna Consumer’s Guide, we go into great detail about the differences!

Help! I’m not sweating!

What happens if I’m not sweating?

First of all, everyone is different and unfortunately some people may sweat faster and in greater amounts than other people. If you are finding this to be the case then I would like to suggest the following:

• try drinking more water each day, pure water, not tea or soda
• try cutting back on the amount of caffeine you drink each day as this may be dehydrating your body
• as is the case with anything, watch what you eat – remember if it’s processed chances are it will end up in your fat cells stored as toxins
• try dry skin brushing, not only will this feel good, but it will also stimulate your lymphatic system allowing the break up of toxins
• try showering before your sauna session, this will remove any lotions or perfumes that may be blocking your pores

“I started using my Far Infrared Sauna 2 years ago. During the first six months I hardly sweat and I was beginning to think I had wasted my money! When I contacted my sales rep. she explained to me that I may have a toxin overload and my body is working hard to push the toxins out, but it is just taking more time. She recommended I try drinking more water, watch the amount of processed foods I ate, cut caffeine, and switch from night sessions to morning sessions. I also bumped my temperature up from 120 to 128 degrees F. Within 2 weeks I started sweating like a pig! It just goes to show that everyone is different and if you are having issues sweating, it could be that you are overloaded with toxins. Whatever you do, don’t give up!”
