hello. i am thinking of getting a second hand sauna for detox. does it really help? is it safe?

if you do sauna regularly, does your body get so used to it that you have to keep doing it even after you get a lot better from lyme?

are the portable ones really not as helpful as the wood ones?

any advice would be appreciated.

thank you!

Hi Daffodil 1234!-

I have a sauna. It is made out of Canadian Hemlock wood.

I personally don't get a lot of relief from the sauna (I found out recently I have a gene mutation that makes it harder for my body to detox.) I have read of other people greatly enjoying the effects of their sauna. Maybe you could try out a sauna at a gym first to see if you like it?

If you do buy a sauna, start out slowly with time and temperature! I have read stories of people having a herx if you start out too fast.

I think my first time I sat in it for 10 minutes at 120 degrees. I Now sit in sauna for 50 minutes at 140 degrees. I try very hard to use it daily, but some days I am too fatigued.

I have read of some people using the sauna even after their treatment for Lyme. They use it as a "maintaince". I personally feel like it is good for the body to sweat.
