Near Infrared Sauna Review

After searching and reading about near infrared saunas, I found a nutrition and wholistically oriented doctor to be the main advocate for near infrared sauna therapy. His name is Dr. Larry Wilson and you can find him at http://www.drlwilson.com. His website is not very polished, but the volume of information, articles and credentials is very, very impressive. He has helped tens of thousands of people with nutrition programs to heal tons of different diseases. He says that near infrared saunas are essential for detox and for working with today's health challenges. 


Here is the most important piece, in my opinion. Dr. Wilson is NOT a paid representative for any sauna company and is not promoting any particular brand. Take note! Any time you see a doctor, like Dr Oz, promoting a brand, you know its a paid endorsement and thus a conflict of interest.  It gives Dr. Wilson more credibility.


Dr. Wilson has a book about near infrared saunas. He also makes a model. When I saw it, i realized immediately why near infrared saunas are not commercialized the way far infrared is. The reason is this: they are very easy to build. All they are is heat lamps, that you can buy online easily, and some kind of small enclosure. 


His sauna is not pretty and it looks like it's build by a doctor, as opposed to a builder, but it works. It gets hot, you sweat, and you get the near infrared. Take a look.

It's a simple plan that works brilliantly. And, the research on infrared light all suggests that near infrared has all kinds of benefits above and beyond far infrared.  He sells this model for $489. Plus, he has links to where you can buy other near infrared saunas. He seems uninterested in making a profit and more interested in health. I like that!


If I wanted to try and build his sauna, I think my husband could handle it. Maybe....:)  But, I wouldn't know where to get carbon far infrared heaters or how to install them. Since near infrared is a type of light bulb, it should reasonable to do. 


Now I'm going to investigate the links on Dr. Wilson's site to other near infrared saunas and see what I can find. Stay tuned.
