My Favorite Portable Sauna – Far Infrared Silver Sauna from Relax Saunas

What are the “game changers” that you have discovered for your health/well-being? In my own personal experience, I can think of 4 things:

I’ve wanted one of these portable saunas for a long time but never bit the bullet. Back in May of 2023 I attended a Long COVID conference and I was hemming and hawing over getting one. Kirkal (my husband), at first, looked at me sideways. “We’re gonna spend HOW much…on a…tent?” 

But, we talked it over together: a world more toxic each day. We saw the community first hand in East Palestine, shortly following the train derailment. Mold/mycotoxins. We live in the Black Swamp (that and all the antique shops I drag this poor man to). Toxic chemical soup, oh my!

We didn’t make the decision out of fear, but out of acceptance that this is the world we live in, we can’t hide from it. But we can do our best to limit and also to just…get that junk out of us. 

So, we bought one. And we have sauna’d at least 4 out of 7 days of the week ever since. And repeatedly, you will hear us mutter in the midst of a glistening puddle, “best money we have ever spent.” 

I wanted it to detox. And that it did. Whoa, sweating. 

What I was NOT expecting, though, was the parasympathetic “rest and digest” that this little sauna would push me into after a 15 minute sesh. (15-20 minutes is good for us, 25 minutes is too long!) My lifelong anxiety started to melt away and the vicious cycle of the rat-race slowed down a whole bunch. I started sleeping like I did when I was a teenager (sleeping fast and hard). 

Do you know how many herbs, supplements, and diet changes I have tried for this? A lot. 

Do you know I contemplated prescriptions shortly before this? There’s no shame in needing the help or using a prescription, but I can honestly say the sauna saved me. 

This is my 2 cents. I wanted to share this for a long time, but I didn’t want it to come off too “pitchy”. I believe in their product enough that I signed up as an affiliate…the second one ever (once with my trusty Luvele yogurt maker). 

Do I now believe everyone should try to sauna at least once? Yep. Will everyone have this experience? Probably not. 

But is every-single-person deserving of a “game changer”? You bet your tookus they are.

We got the Silver from Relax Saunas. They are an Ohio-based company with a high quality product. I like the portability so much I have debated packing it up and taking it on vacation with us! I like that my head and hands are out and I don’t feel so claustrophobic. 

It gets to 140-170F. It’s low EMF. They have a great reputation and have been in business for a long time. Patients have had great results with this product, and other providers have also recommended it.

To clean it, you just wipe it down with a wet rag after each use, zip it up and run it for 5 minutes. It cleans itself!

I love this sauna so much that it is one of the few things I have a referral link for. If you use this link and the code “drwatts” you will get $100 off!
