The Sauna Experience - Mind and Body Renewal...

A sauna is a peaceful refuge from the stress of daily living - a soothing, dry heat environment that relaxes and refreshes, to leave you feeling healthier than ever before.

Saunas have been enjoyed for centuries by people throughout the world. Medical research indicates that regular sauna bathing can provide the following health benefits:

• Deep clean the skin by opening pores and flushing impurities from the body
• Promote weight loss by increasing metabolism and burning calories
• Improve blood circulation by raising body temperature and heart rate
• Accelerate muscle recovery following strenuous exercise
• Relieve tension headaches, muscle and joint pain
• Induce a deeper, more relaxing sleep

A sauna is a dry heat bath taken in a well-insulated room lined with untreated, kiln-dried soft wood and heated with igneous rocks. Optimal sauna temperatures range from 160° to 190° Fahrenheit. Relative humidity levels, which are controlled by the bather sprinkling water on the hot rocks, range between 10% and 30% depending upon preference.

Affordable Luxury

Many hotels and fitness facilities provide saunas for their customers' enjoyment. Now, however, health conscious home-owners are installing saunas in their bathrooms, bedrooms, exercise rooms, basements, garages, or pool houses. With both standard and custom packages available, Helo makes it possible to incorporate a beautiful sauna into any new construction or remodeling project.
A well-designed, quality sauna from Helo is an enjoyable and affordable way to relax. The average residential sauna will cost less than $8 per month to operate when used four times a week.

Wood Selection

Helo saunas are built with solid tongue-and-groove construction, and are made from clear, grade A Western Red Cedar that has been kiln-dried to prevent warping and shrinking. Western Red Cedar is a preferred sauna material for many reasons. It stays cool to the touch, cleans easily with soap and water, doesn't splinter and resists stains and decay.
