Getting a sauna for your home
When looking into buying my saunas I did a lot of research into what features and factors are important and what companies offer the best value for money.
​
Considerations include:
-
Location of heaters: Look at the location and coverage of the heaters. It's best to have full coverage surrounding heaters as well as under the feet or on the front glass panel, which maximizes the body's exposure to the infrared rays and therefore impacts the quality of heat and your sweat!
-
Strength of the heaters: you want high wattage to create effective heat
-
Low EMF and ELF heaters: its important to have technology in the heaters that significantly limits your exposure to electric and electromagnetic fields. There are currently only two local sauna brands that mitigate both EMF and ELF in their saunas.
-
100% hypoallergenic timber and food safe glue: Cheap timbers and toxic glue can off gas when heated creating toxins, when you are trying to detox!
-
No cloth covers on heaters: a cloth cover impacts the heat output and introduces a synthetic material to the sauna.
-
Comprehensive warranty: some companies offer a comprehensive lifetime warranty on home use saunas. ​
​
Sun Stream saunas are the best value for money and produce high quality products. They have a local NZ warehouse, a great team of knowledgeable staff and their saunas meet the above criteria with flying colours.
They also have a range of sizes to suit your space and a lifetime residential warranty.

Red Light Therapy PLUS Infrared Sauna
Combining light therapy with an infrared sauna exposes your body to 3 different therapeutic wavelengths of light, creating a full spectrum experience and maximising the benefits to your health and wellbeing.
​
The different wavelengths of light have different benefits. Infrared sauna and light therapy panels produce concentrated forms of the beneficial wavelengths of light from the sun without the harmful UV light.

​
There are two local brands of light therapy panels that I recommend - Block Blue Light and ROJO.
​
Get 10% OFF both when you purchase a ROJO light therapy panel with a Sun Stream Infrared sauna.

I am associated with some local companies who produce great products, as I prefer to give clients options. If you purchase products through links in my blogs, on this page, or by using my discount code (INSIDEMATTERS or INSIDE for Nuzest), then I receive a small commission at no cost to you. This helps fund my time writing blogs and keeping my knowledge up to date on these products and services to help you make informed decisions.
