Dry sauna vs steam room non scientific study.

Hey all. I did a thread asking about Amazon steam rooms. Got some good advice from you all.

This is the one I bought

I wanted the smallest i could comfortably fit in so it would get hot faster.

I ended up purchasing another steamer so it would decrease the time to get it warm and get it hotter. It was $30 on Amazon. The total cost now is around $230. ——see pic below. I just cut a hole in side and get tube through. The 30 dollar steamer gets much hotter, faster than the original.

So back to what I was saying about a non-scientific comparison. I’ve spent years going to the gym and using the dry sauna afterward. The sauna was always between 170 and 190.

The reason I say this is not scientific is because I used to sit up in that sauna, and then after I would get , a fast heartbeat, I would lay down for about 10 minutes. I would do this with frequent trips to a cold shower for about an hour.

In this small capsule, I am only sitting in a camping chair.

And I think that is why I can only do 25 to 35 minutes. If I was able to lay down I think I can get up to an hour. The temperature in this steam sauna never gets over 130° (using a chicken thermometer from the barn)

I wanted to show you this comparison because I do think that a 130° steam sauna will heat your body just as fast as a 180° dry sauna. Yes, I knows it’s fifty degrees cooler.

I do think that the water vapor at 130° heats your body just as well as a 180° dry heat.

Either way, hope you enjoyed reading and I will answer any questions you have.













The real reason I wanted to do this is the owner at the gym I was using ended being a prick and I didn’t feel like paying him 200 a month for the family. So we go to a different gym without a sauna.
