Near infrared sauna therapy can be used to help the body with a variety of health issues such as: joint and muscle pain, thyroid disease, circulation, digestion, tissue and cell repair and detoxification. It also helps support the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, thyroid, and the central nervous system.
Never before in history have people been exposed to such a great variety of toxic chemicals. More than 80,000 chemicals available in the U.S. have never been fully tested for their effects on our health. According to the EPA, toxic chemicals are responsible for up to 80% of cancer deaths. In our current world, it’s important to take steps to reduce this toxic load on our bodies. A great way to do this is with near infrared sauna therapy.
Sauna therapy was very important to my detox routine when I battled Hashimoto’s. The infrared sauna works by heating the body’s temperature several degrees above normal, making the body attempt to reduce its temperature by driving blood to the surface and sweating. The heating, and the body’s response to heating, can produce many beneficial physiological effects.
A study from Finland that tracked more than 2,000 Finnish men for nearly 20 years on average found that those who used saunas on a regular basis reduced their risk of heart failure, coronary heart disease, and had longer lifespans. The study also found that more sessions per week provided more health benefits.
This is a picture of the SaunaSpace Faraday Lumanati at my house.
1. Detoxification
Did you know that prescription and over-the-counter drugs may remain in the body for 30 years or more? Sweating can help flush these toxins from the body. According to Lawrence Wilson, M.D., “Heating the body helps destroy bacteria, viruses and tumors. Sweating promotes the elimination of toxic chemicals, radioactive particles and other toxins. It also increases the skin’s ability to eliminate poisons.”
2. Exercise Benefits
Infrared sauna therapy can provide many of the benefits of exercise with less expenditure of energy. This can be especially helpful if you’re struggling with a disease and don’t have much energy to exercise. Sauna therapy can increase circulation, lower elevated blood pressure, and improve oxidation of the tissues.
3. Fewer Abnormal Cells
Many of us have damaged or mutated DNA due to the effects of toxic chemicals and ionizing radiation. Heating the body using infrared sauna therapy can help kill weaker mutated cells and help prevent their reproduction by slowly improving the ratio of healthy cells to genetically damaged cells. For those of you that may have the MTHFR mutations, this could be a key piece of information to helping you improve your circumstances.
Hyperthermia is a well-researched therapy for cancer according to the National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society. Dr. Wilson explains that tumors don’t tolerate heat well, so raising the body temperature may hasten their death.
4. Pain Relief
Infrared light therapy can help reduce pain and other symptoms of rheumatic disease. It’s also been shown to help reduce chronic back pain. According to Dr. Wilson, “Studies indicate it may have direct effects on peripheral nerves and it may modulate the levels of prostaglandins in inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.”
5. Relaxation
Sweating helps stimulate blood flow and circulation throughout the body (just like exercise does). Increased circulation helps relax the body. I’ve personally experienced this and can’t even tell you how much the sauna helps my stress level. Remember, stress is like gasoline on a fire for almost all diseases, so reducing stress can play a huge role in the healing process.
6. Thyroid Health
Exciting research has shown that red light therapy (aka low level laser therapy or LLLT) can be helpful for the thyroid.
This placebo-controlled clinical trial showed how LLLT was effective at improving thyroid function (increased production of T4) and helped reduce autoimmunity by lowering thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOab).
Another study concluded that “the preliminary results indicate that LLLT promotes the improvement of thyroid function, as patients experienced a decreased need for LT4, a reduction in TPOAb levels, and an increase in parenchymal echogenicity.”
This study shows how LLLT improves the function of the thyroid tissues.
A long-term follow-up study concluded that LLLT has been deemed safe for the treatment of hypothyroidism that is caused by autoimmune thyroiditis.
Additionally, this study showed how LLLT can create a “significant increase in serum TGF-β1 levels 30 days post-intervention in the PBM group, thus confirming the anti-inflammatory effect.”
Not only can it improve the thyroid, but the red near infrared light is also helpful to balance out harmful EMF levels that we all come in contact with on a daily basis from our computers, phones, wifi, tablets, etc. Science has shown near-infrared light therapy to be one of the most effective approaches to aid the body in healing itself from the type of mitochondrial dysfunction caused by EMF.
To sum things up, red light therapy can help increase T4 production, reduce TPO antibodies, reduce inflammation, improve thyroid function, and balance EMF levels. How amazing is that?!
7. Improved Eyesight for those over 40
I’ve noticed that when I use the sauna the red light helps improve my eyesight. I know this sounds crazy, but on days that I use the sauna (or their photon light) I don’t need to use my reading glasses. I couldn’t figure out why this was happening, and then I learned that The University College London found that declining eyesight is improved by looking at deep red light. How amazing is that?! I wasn’t crazy after all!
Why I chose a Near Infrared Sauna instead of a Regular Sauna:
1. Infrared light is beneficial at its specific wavelength of 600nm – 950nm. The phototherapy benefits it provides are totally unique to this narrow band of the sunlight’s spectrum.
2. The NIR (near infrared) light directly activates various cellular processes that promote cellular healing, detoxification, increased metabolism, and more.
3. NIR light is safe for the eyes and can heal cellular damage in the eyes.
4. Here are some of the healing benefits of NIR: alkalinization of the cells, nerve tissue regeneration, wound healing, increased collagen production, relaxation of the central nervous system, and more effective toxin elimination.
5. NIR has ultra-low EMFs.
6. Provides sufficient heat for effective hyperthermic therapy.
I always thought of a sauna as a huge cedar room – usually at a health club or gym – that occupy tons of space and cost several thousand dollars. I’m excited to tell you that SaunaSpace makes a wonderful near infrared sauna that costs much less than competitors’ and takes up only a fraction of the space!
Their Luminati or Faraday saunas can be set up in the corner of a room in about 45 minutes, without tools. They can be easily broken down and set back up if you want to travel with it or if you move often. I set mine up in the garage, and I have friends who’ve put their sauna in a closet or the corner of a bedroom.
About 5 years ago, I started using the Luminati sauna from Sauna Space and recently upgraded to the Faraday Sauna. Both saunas are absolutely fabulous choices.
I chose to upgrade to the Faraday earlier this year because their new system uses a shielding system that protects me from all EMFS and 99.999% of RF. How amazing is that?!
Here are some differences I noticed when upgrading to the Faraday Sauna:
1. It’s quite a surreal experience to sit in a space that completely blocks out all EMFs, RFs, etc. The level of calm that the body experiences is something I honestly can’t explain with words. The body needs to be in a parasympathetic state in order to detox, so being in a completely calm, EMF-free environment only increases the level of detoxication that takes place.
2. My mind is able to completely shut off when I’m in the Faraday sauna. I used to listen to a podcast or read when using the sauna, but when I upgraded to the EMF-free sauna I prefer to just sit and let my mind rest.
3. Their new handcrafted ThermaLight incandescent bulb is much more powerful than their original red bulbs that they previously used. The new bulb delivers 2-4x more red and near-infrared radiance than any bulb currently on the market. I notice that I now sweat much more quickly with the ThermaLight bulbs.
How do you use the near infrared sauna?
- I recommend starting with 15-20 minute sessions and then work up to 40 minutes or so. I rotate a quarter-turn every 5 minutes so that all sides of my body receive the benefit of the light.
- If you are struggling with adrenal, hormone or thyroid imbalance, then it’s very important to not do long sessions when you first begin. Fifteen minutes 2-3x a week is usually sufficient. As you are working to heal your body and your hormones and energy balance out, then you can usually start to increase the time you spend in the sauna.
3. If the heat from a sauna is too much for you right now, or you’d like a more econimal place to start, the Photon light from SaunaSpace is a great option.

I love Deliciously Organic. Thank you for bringing so much of your knowledge to my life, and for kick-starting living a cleaner life for myself and my family!
You’re welcome! I appreciate the kind words. 🙂
Would’ve to know where to purchase just the tent or find a DIY tutorial on how to create one inexpensively, preferably one that is collapsible so it doesn’t have to stay up but will go up and down quickly. .
I grew up taking saunas but we’re renting now and don’t have one. We miss it! Love them for sweating out toxins and relaxation.
As a survivor of uterine cancer and nutritionally fighting Hashimotos, my doctor has perscribed weekly infrared sauna visits. This would prove my health and allow me to keep fighting and be at home.
Interesting information, Carrie. Growing up in MN in a Finn family, I’ve always loved a hot, wood-fired sauna, but since that’s not something I could easily add to my home, it’s good to know that there are other options that offer the same benefits. Thanks~
I also have hashimotos and adrenal issues. Are there any warnings as far as how much time to start out with.. also any reactions that I should be worried about when I’m in there? Thanks!
Here are some general guidelines: https://saunaspace.com/how-use-near-infrared-sauna/ I started out at 20 minutes at a time (rotating a quarter-turn each 5 minutes) and then built up from there. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Wilson’s book “Sauna Therapy”. It’s about $15 and I learned so much about the many benefits, how to use the sauna and what to expect as I went along. Fascinating! Here’s the link: http://amzn.to/19VdIxT
Carrie – did you do this daily when working on your Hashimoto’s? Do you do it daily now? I have an autoimmune (Alopecia Universalitis) that I’m working on putting into remission and recently found out I have the MTHFR mutation. I’m getting a membership to an Infrared Red Sauna and wondering how often I should go – I’m asking my holistic dr as well, but just curious what you did/do? Thanks for all you do! I’m always sharing with others what I learn from your page!!
Amber I am curious to see if the Infra Red Sauna infact helps with your Alopecia Universalitis as I have a brother and a niece that have this exact auto immune. Please keep me posted!
Much Love,
Cali
Hi Amber! I am curious to find out how the infra red sauna helps with your Alopecia. I have a brother and a niece who both have Alopecia Universalitis and would love to share your experience with them.
Thank you! Best Wishes!
Cali
Battling Hashimoto’s as well; as a family nurse practitioner, I know the benefits of this therapy! I HIGHLY recommend it!
This would be So awesome !
The infrared will help me with detoxing and with knee and back pain. I go to a spa/wellness center in Destin, and she has an infrared booth there and I know it makes a big difference for me, it would be beyond fabulous to have my own at home, and my hubby could use it too!
Hi Becca, I live in FWB and would love to know where you go in Destin? I am not able to purchase one at this time, but interested in how it might help me with my Lupus. Thanks.
Wow!! What a great giveaway!! Love you and your blog!!!
This would be perfect for my own Hashi’s detox routine… I’m making great progress, perhaps this will be the clincher!
I’ve read a couple of articles about the great benefits of saunas. But space and price have been an obstacle for me. This would be a win, win for me! Thank you for the information!
I’d use it for chronic pain in my neck and lower back.
I had infrared sauna treatments to help me recover from an Epstein Barr virus attack!
I really enjoy Deliciously Organic! Had no idea an infrared sauna could be so manageable and affordable. Thank you. Would love a daily or twice daily sauna…
I would love this for pain relief and relaxation. Yea! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d love to try this for relaxation and reducing the toxins in my body. It’d be really nice to have one in my home instead of going to a smelly gym.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have been wanting a sauna but thought we would have to wait until we have our dream house. We live in the northern Midwest and this would help in the long winter months when we don’t get sunshine for days.
What an incredible giveaway!!
Oops..forgot to mention that it would really help my skin!
Ever since I learned that Carrie healed Hashimoto’s through diet and lifestyle changes, I was on board. I may have already posted this in a previous blog, but I, too, have healed my Hashimoto’s! My Naturopathic doctor has even been able to reduce my thyroid medication (Naturethroid) from 95.5mg, to 65mg and most recently I’m at 32.5! I can’t tell you how this has (and will continue to) change my life! Thank you for your inspiration!
(P.S. I shared this contest on Facebook, but didn’t receive my additional 10 bonus entries… can someone help?) 🙂
I’ve been on Gaps for years to try to heal from Hashimoto what am I doing wrong?
GAPS is only meant to be a short-term diet, so it’s possible that the foods you’re eating aren’t the right fit for your body right now. Also, when a strict diet has been followed and there isn’t any improvement, this can often mean that the detox pathways are closed and some gentle detox is needed. Castor oil packs, dry brushing, near infrared saunas, and using essential oils to calm any stress or anxiety could be very helpful. IF you’d like a more personalized protocol, you can call my office at Biodynamic Wellness to book an appointment (858.259.6000)
How do we signup for their newsletter? I can’t seem to find the link.
Wow – using a sauna would be high on my wish list. I always felt better and more limber when I have used a sauna in the past. Thanks!
I’ve had access to saunas off and on, wood burning sauna in the the north woods, an electric one at a friend’s home and now an infrared at a local spa. I love saunas.
It will help me detox metals.
Being in the midst of high stress lately, I would love the relaxation benefits and removing all those nasty toxins!
I would love a Pocket Sauna to help detox my body. I’ve been having digestive problems for a long time now, and hope this might help in my recovery.
I have long been keen on the far infrared sauna for the detoxifiation purposes, as well as just for general health and healing. I haven’t taken the plunge yet for a full size sauna, but maybe today is my lucky day? 😉 What an amazing give-away! 🙂
I am a thyroid cancer survivor. I am constantly trying to better my health and love your blog. Thanks for sharing this information about the benefits of infrared sauna therapy. I had no idea!
I suffer from candida and would love to have a sauna for detox. I’ve never seen one so small and portable! What an excellent giveaway! 🙂
You need to begin doing coffee enemas and Dr. Larry Wilson’s free nutritional balancing program in order to beat candida for good. Best wishes.
This is amazing and I had never heard about it before. It would be fantastic for knee and neck pain. Thanks for the opportunity and the education!!
This sounds sooo good to me. I deal daily with fibromyalgia, and my husband from nerve pain after concurring Hodgkins Lymphoma, so any help is great. Love what you do! =) Thanks!
I grew up in the sauna (pronounced sow-nuh) hehe. We have a wood burning sauna at our cabin and it’s always been a healing experience. Nothing like jumping in the chilly lake after a good sweat to feel cleansed! I also suffer from Hashimotos and basically incorporate anything into my life to feel healthy again!
Thank you for your journey Carrie! I love your cookbook!
This would be wonderful. Right now I drive 45 minutes once a week to use a sauna. This would be so much easier and my whole family could benefit, as well as me being able to use it more often.
I have Crohn’s disease and am in constant joint and muscle pain. Would love to try this!!
I have Hasimoto’s as well. I am healing thru diet and lifestyle and would love to add the sauna for additional help. I love the recipes on this site, thank you for being an inspiration!
I have used one of these in the past and love the detoxification benefits! Excited to know there is a “pocket” version.
A sauna is a great healing tool!
This looks fabulously easy and relaxing!
I would love “relaxation of the central nervous system”… are you kidding? Where has this been all my life? lol I’d love to try this. Plus that this is small would be perfect for us. Thanks for a chance.
I would love to try a sauna out! I am battling fatigue. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would LOVE to have this as part of my detox/health maintenance regime. Sure would beat the infrared bulb on a little lamp I have now:)
Thanks for your wonderful site!
We would definitely use it to unwind and sweat out toxins!
I think this would be really helpful for my Hashi’s. I’ve heard really good things about infrared sauna, but never tried it myself. Might have to put this on my wishlist.
Well, I have been dealing with Ulcerative Colitis for nearly 17 years, it has definitely caused me lots of depression. I’ve been researching natural and healthy ways to rid this autoimmune and it sometimes feels hopeless. Recently, I treated myself to a spa day, full massage and all however the massage did more harm than good. I was in bed for a week with flu like symptoms, the massage re-released toxins into my body and I was terrified! I’m a mom of 4 and a military wife , my family needs me and I truly need to start taking care of me. I’ve been taking the “non-flushing” niacin (I’m still nursing) and it’s been doing great! I’d love to get to a gym and sit in a sauna but it’s not something my time can afford right now. This would be such a blessing! Thank you so much!
I have neck and shoulder pain that would really benefit from sauna! Pick me!
Wow! I had no idea of the benefits of this therapy. I am hoping it will help my allergies.
I have heard of infrared saunas for years but have never tried one. Years ago, I called all around the city looking for one to use without success. I love that this sauna is small and portable.
My doctor just diagnosed me with Lyme disease and suggested an infrared sauna would help! I also think it will help me with stress.
Because I have a host of health issues, I cannot do many traditional detoxifications without compromising or exasperating my current conditions. This sounds like a great way to detox without the side effects!!!
oops-my comment was supposed to be about the sauna–omg I would love this–I am just starting to eat/be healthy-I need help for everything==I have soooo many physical issues–basically hit 40 and everything is just going–I would love the heat–for my back, and nerve stuff—detoxing-helping my poor weary cells out–pain-and more….puuuulllease?
I love Deliciously Organic and this sauna would be the ultimate win for my body to deal with my Hashimoto’s and Stage 7 Adrenal Fatigue. I never realized all that adrenal stake care of but I sure know now. Thanks for this opportunity!
Thank you for this awesome giveaway! I would use the sauna for chronic back pain and for relaxation and help with toxin removal.
What an amazing giveaway! The sauna would really help me recover from Stage III adrenal fatigue and leaky gut. Not only that but the health benefits overall would be so beneficial!
I have hashimotos and PCOS. I would love to try this out.
This intrigues me! I’m looking forward to learning more!
Spring is a great time to clear out the toxins.!
I’m hypothyroid and have pains in my hands–I’m hoping it would help me that way. My husband has a MFTHR mutation–hopefully that would help him.
I would love this for removal of toxins and cellular renewal!!
It’s all about stress reduction for me – just that little bit of “me time” would make such a difference…I could meditate in there!!! Would love for Hubby too – he works sooooooooooo hard!!!
I REEEAALLLYY hope I win! I think it would do wonders for my RA!
I would love to win one of these. My dad has been talking about them for a couple of years now. Thanks for the opportunity!
I shared this on my own wall AND on my page with over 7,000 fans 🙂 I would use it to try to help heal my adrenals and thyroid issues.
I would use it for detox and relaxation.
Will use to assist with heavy metal detox which has effected the thyroid !
I’m not allowed to be on facebook because of my job, so I couldn’t enter the giveaway. Is there no other way?
You can enter with just your email address.
Great for detoxifying!
What an exciting giveaway! I would LOVE to win this!!
Relaxing and helping with my allergies.
I believe that a far infrared sauna would help with my recurrent pain and inflammation from suffering with rheumatoid arthritis for many years. In my experoence, far infrared heat feels better than any other kind of heat on my joints!
I just had knee surgery and know I have a lot of detoxing ahead of me. The Sauna could certainly help.
What a great giveaway! I have Lyme disease masquerading as MS and have read that the sauna experience can help detox me!
Your blog saved my hide – literally! Last year I thought I was going bonkers with my itchy red self and stumbled across your blog. Thank you!
As a yoga instructor and health coach…the sauna would be of great benefit to me personally and professionally (when working with my clients) oh and btw, tomorrow is my birthday and this would be an AMAZING birthday gift, just sayin’ 😉
I’ve had lots of digestive issues and I’m trying different way of detoxing (among other things) to help with my issues. This sounds like it may help as well!
Toxin removal would be most welcome!
I have read a lot about the health benefits of saunas on Dr. Mercola’s website. I never imagined they could be so versatile. Thank you for the giveaway.
My husband and I have tried about everything for his eczema and I am really interested in trying this to help! Thanks for the opportunity to enter to win it!:)
Carrie, thank you for this wonderful giveaway! I would so love this sauna to help heal Hoshimoto’s. Recently someone told me to try infrared light on my ears as I have vertigo problems too. This would be perfect to help with both issues!
I came across your website while browsing on Pinterest a couple of months back. I finally purchased you book yesterday and I’m so excited! I too am battling Hashimoto’s and slew of other health problems. As some who was born and raised in Alaska I love saunas but have never had my own. I know they have huge health benefits! 🙂
Hi Carrie,
I haven’t felt well for a few years now. I have been to numerous doctors that seem to just pass me around. I’ve tried going gluten free for about a year and it did help some but I still tend to be sluggish. I did venture out of my network of doctors and insurance to find a different doctor to help me. She did seem concerned and found I was very low in Vitamin D. I suffer from joint pain and muscle aches that limit my mobility. I have numerous tests, scans, MRI etc. After taking mass doses of Vitamin D this new doctor came to the conclusion that I have fibromyalgia. Not sure if its a true diagnosis or just one because each doctor didn’t want to pursue it any further. I was tested for Sjogren’s disease because I have severe chronic dry eyes. I force myself to walk on the tread mill at least 5 times a week. I haven’t been gluten free for about a year now and seem to have gained back the 20 lbs I did lose when I was gluten free. I have started trying essential oils but I still need to educate myself on their uses. I enjoy your blog and all your helpful information. Your an inspiration to me. Thank you so much. God Bless You!

Hi Melody,
I just read your message and felt compelled to reach out to you as I have experienced similar symptoms that you mentioned. Finally after finding a (out of network) functional medicine doctor, I found my core diagnosis of Lyme disease. They believe I have had Lyme for years, which may have actually caused my Hashimotos, Sjogrens, pain and fatigue. In fact Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, even MS is often misdiagnosed with Lyme actually being the root issue. Anyway, I just thought you might throw the idea out to your doctor to at least rule it out. The problem is that the standard Western Blot test is often wrong. So to be sure about a positive or negative Lyme result, it’s best to have your blood sent to a specialty lab such as Igenix or Advanced Lab Solutions. I just wanted to throw it out there as I personally never expected a Lyme diagnosis. However, it has helped make sense of a lot of things now. The very best thing about it is that I finally know what’s going on and can fight the specific cause now! Either way, I wish you luck in your healing process.
Sincerely,
Katy Storer
Katy
Thanks for writing. I have been tested for Lyme disease as well. Came back negative. I do have a lot of family history with Hashimotos. I have a cyst on my thyroid but all testing a few years back said it wasnt a concern at this point. I have several cousins who have had thyroid cancer so I have to keep a close watch on it. I have a friend who was bitten by a tick and now has a food allergy because of it. She cant eat any meat or product that came from a hooved animal…..beef, pork, venison etc. or anything made from a gelatin because it is usually beef based. Seems those nasty ticks can cause all sorts of problems.
Wishing you well. God Bless
Thanks for all your great recipes and blog posts!
We definitely need a good sweat around here. I’ve been eyeing infared saunas for years but thought we didn’t have the room for one – this is a great compromise. I’ll check it out more online 🙂
I would love a sauna to detox as well as for neck pain.
A sauna would be wonderful for the whole family. Great for unwinding, reoccurring shoulder pain and a detox for my son.
Thank you! This would help with my arthritis, thyroid, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue! Thank you for sharing!
I thought saunas were only at gyms and health clubs too! It would be amazing to have this at my house!
This website is always inspiring me and pushing me toward better health. I would love to try this!!
This would work great for my household!
Would love this in my home. I feel the whole family would benifit.
Struggling with hashimotos and I would love to win this!!!
Love this site and your books – have helped me so much in going (mostly) grain free. Always knowledgable and inspiring!
My friend us helped so much by her infrared sauna. Oh how awesome it would be to win one for my own use!
My functional medicine practitioner actually just recommended infrared sauna therapy as I suffer from Hashimotos, Sjogrens, and now chronic neurological Lyme disease. I am sure that this pocket sauna would help me maintain symptoms. Thanks for this opportunity to win one and thank you for all of your amazing recipes! Staying grain free has certainly helped me in my healing so far!
My son has Hashimoto’s, and I’m thrilled to know there is another method to combat this disease.
This is very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
I tried logging in with just my email address and it was not accepted–I keep getting a message to log in
with Facebook. Are you sure email works?
Love your blog and recipes! I have Hashimoto’s and had surgery for it — long before I ever knew anything about autoimmune conditions and healing with nutrition. I am hoping now to heal further and reverse the other symptoms. Thanks for your positive helpful info!
I just tested it and it’s working fine on my end. Can you send us a screen shot of the issue? Here’s the email: info@deliciouslyorganic.net Thanks!
I had the same problem at first. It won’t let you autofill your email address. If you type in the total address, it will work.
I would love an infrared sauna at my home instead of having to drive 40 minutes to a healing center for the experience. My whole family would benefit, and we have the perfect spot in our home for it.
I used to do near infrared saunas at my chiropractors till he moved and took it with him. I keep a clean diet and drink lots of water, but I really miss the cleansing I felt from using the sauna. Thanks for your awesome blog!
My husband has been disabled for 27 years with nerve damage from an accident, triple by-pass surgery and oxygen 24/7. He has gone to many doctors hoping to find some relief from his pain. It is so hard to see him in pain – even with medication! I know this would help him so much.
I know this would help with my thyroid problems and debilitating arthritis in my feet.
Thank you for all you do to promote Good Health!!
I have rheumatoid arthritis & have been struggling for years.
I had no idea this was an option! A viable one at that. I have chronic pain and love getting into a sauna. It also helps me sweat out the lactic acid build up from exercising. This would be a great addition to our home
I am having a hard time sharing with friends via email and getting the 10 points entry. It let me post it on twitter but I didn’t get any credit for it. Thanks
I grew up going to saunas. Unfortunately, they are not as readily available here. I had a car accident when I was 21 that left me with a shattered back. My 5 lower vertebrae are now fused. I few years ago I began having chronic pain in my feet, a backlash of traumatised nerves. I am also having to change my diet due to inflammation (that is how I found you :)..). Anyways, a sauna would be FANTASTIC for my spirit & health. What a great offer, thank you!
I’m glad summer is coming and there will be opportunities to sweat!
This sounds fabulous! Thanks 🙂
We are really hoping to get a sauna soon. It is so good for autoimmunine diseases.
I struggle with inflammation and have many health problems as a result of an injury to my neck when I was 14. I would benefit greatly from a sauna. Due to a limited income it would be a great blessing and help to be able to have the portable one at home.
Thank you for your blog, recipes and all that you do.
What a fantastic giveaway. My husband and I would be benefit from having suana in our home.
Thank you!
Best,
Joan
I learn something new everyday! I am healing from Hashimotos and the MTHFR mutations…never knew this was an outlet – yay information that helps!
Aside from detoxifying, I’d use this for post-running muscle relaxation!
Wow, I had no idea this home model was available! I sauna regularly but would love to do it at home for convenience and quick access to a shower afterward. Thanks for letting us know about PocketSauna.
Ever since I was injured in a car accident, I’ve experienced pain in my neck and upper back. I think a sauna would help relax the muscles that get tight.
I think this would help someone with back pain and fibro and general chronic pain. I know someone who could use it right here.
I’d love to try using a sauna. With little ones, going to the gym isn’t an option right now.
I love infrared saunas!
Love the idea of the detoxing benefits with a sauna, but I would really love the immediate benefit of relaxation. 🙂
I have hashimotos and really struggle especially with having energy to exercise.
This is rather an interesting concept…
Thank you for all of the valuable information you share with all of us!
Thanks Carrie! I had no idea this company existed. Excited to learn more!
I’ve done so much already to heal my Hashimoto’s, but I haven’t tried sauna. I would love to use it to detox.
I have been on a path to healing that started last June. This has been a major learning curve, but I am on my way now and I am very thankful. I stumbled across your blog, wonderful serendipity! I started reading how you healed yourself. You have inspired me and aided me daily, as well as provided me with recipes for delicious food too! That is a major plus. A sauna would be a wonderful addition in my life, the next level in detoxification and healing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Love the idea of something so small and easy and portable.
Would love to try this easy to assemble portable healing aid.
Thanks.
This is amazing! I would definitely share this with my sister. She has psoriasis and I think this would help her so much!
I would love to try this for skin clarity and detoxing.
I am so excited about this! Not just the giveaway but the solid information! My mom is severely I’ll and has been for almost 9 years. I have been her caretaker. With the stress that’s come with not only an illness in the family, but the care of the family, I have chronic inflammation, insomnia, and digestive issues. I pray that I can heal my cells and body and find some relief in a infrared sauna! I also am always cold, so bonus points right there. 🙂 Thanks Carry.
Xoxo,
Maggie
I could use a sauna to relax! With 3 small children at home I don’t quite remember what that means;)
Have been looking into this for a while. Would love to try this sauna.
my goal would be to detoxify…
i used to have access to a sauna and really could feel the health benefits from using it on a regular basis. It’s been a few years now and I miss that the most. I do try hot yoga but it’s not quite the same.
This is a brilliant idea! It’s so beneficial and portable – I hope to get one and start enjoying the help with detoxification and improved mood.
Healing and detoxing….may God grant this to all of us!
Would love this for the detox benefits. I’m dealing with leaky gut, which brings all sorts of health problems. I’m often too exhausted to exercise… would be nice to get some of the benefits by sitting in a sauna!
Wow – sounds amazing. Would love the benefits for pain relief and relaxation. Thanks for the opportunity to enter to win.
I would love to have a sauna to help my family and me detox and heal from some autoimmune issues. Thank you!
I love saunas but have never tried an infrared one. My mom bought one after us kids grew up and moved away but she lives 1500 miles away!
I would love to have an infrared sauna! I am in the healing process out of hashimotos. This sauna would be so awesome to be able to have to help the process of total healing! For myself and my kiddos. Thank you:)
I would love the detoxifying benefits but would really love to be able to relax my back muscles due to lower back problems.
I would love to be able to reduce my toxic load as joint pain. Everyone in my family could benefit from this!
Love your blog. It is full of information and encouragement….The portable sauna sounds divine!
Thanks!
Wow, a portable sauna sounds like a great idea! I don’t have a lot of space at home & have been unable to afford membership fees at gyms that have saunas. I think this may really help my Hashimoto’s & detox issues.
I’d use it for detoxing!!
Awesome! Thank you!
It would potentially help our daughter’s back pain, & I would use it for detoxification & relaxation.
Both my son and I would benefit from sauna use. We have MTHFR mutations so we know that detox is especially important for us.
Clearing toxins
I regularly spend $10 to sit in an infrared sauna for 30 minutes. It is my down time, my rejuvination, something I always look forward to. Having my own personal sauna would be soooo amazing!! What a generous giveaway, thank you.
I’ve never heard of this product before. I’ve had thyroid issues for 20 years but just found out about Hashimotos. So since January I’ve bern trying a gluten free and Paleo diet. I’m still learning and researching. Thanks!
Infared saunas are the healthiest saunas. I would love to own one myself.
Wow! I never thought owning one would be within my reach. Thanks for posting this awesome give-a-way.
We are working on detoxing after years of toxic chemicals bombarding our bodies. This would really help that process – especially since we can’t afford to go to the spa.
I have a chronic condition that makes it difficult to exercise. Receiving some of the benefits of exercise from the sauna would be very helpful. Detoxifying from the medications I have to take would also be beneficial.
Need. Want. This.
This would help battle my Hashimotos!!!
This would be great for detoxing.
I Have Yeast Overgrowth And A Growth On My Pancreas. I Hope Detoxing Will Help!
Funny how a give away brings people out in droves, haha. I would love to win this Sauna. I’ve never been in one so I would love to fell the benefits. :o)
This would be such a fantastic prize and perhaps a big relief for my husband’s back pain!
It would help with detoxification. I also am always acidic and having a sauna will help to reverse that. I love your blog. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.
I need some safe detoxing, this would be great!
I have heard good things about the infrared, but thought only expensive gyms had them available. Very cool to know that there affordable home versions.
With family members that do suffer from the MTHFR mutation I am especially excited to use a sauna to help!
This would help tremendously on my road to recovery! My wellness center is an hour and half away and costs $$ just for a quick sauna visit. This would be an amazing prize that would save me tons of money and give me more time with my husband and son throughout the week! Thank you so much for the opportunity 🙂
I actually don’t like the sound of sauna at all – I hate being hot! That being said it would be fantastic for detox and I’d use it if I won!
Strange… I’ve been waiting for the “widget” to open… but it won’t and subsequently, I am unable to enter the contest. Not sure why. BTW, another great article Carrie. Thanks!
Oh…this would be fantastic to win. My brother has one of these and I love the idea of the detox it would bring to our lives. Thank you Deliciously Organic for allowing me the opportunity!
You are so full of great health info, thanks for sharing!
This Sauna with the helath benefits yuou have listed – many that I was unaware of and certainly did not know of this collapsible Sauna – I too thought they were all larger, timber permanent fixtures. Therefore with Chronic and undiagnosed & then incorrectly treated Auto Immune Disorders it would be an honor to win this Sauna after so many years of illness and now well & truly into daily self care and monitoring of my precious Health!.
Deirdre
I have used both steam and infar red saunas. I especially love the the infar red and used one consistantly for about 2 yrs. so many health benefits I miss using it and would love to win one so I could get back to detoxing again.
Great giveaway that would provide us with added health benefits and help with detoxing! Love your blog!
What a great giveaway! I’ve never heard of this. I am battling cancer right now and would love to try it. I’ve been following your blog for several years now and it’s one of my favorites.
That’s really cool, Thanks for letting us know about it!
Wow! What an amazing giveaway. Our family would benefit from Infrared Sauna. I am testing to see if I am hypothyroid right now. I have been following your recipes in the new cookbook , The Grain-free, Family-Table, and have already benefited from the program. Detoxing in the dry sauna would be an added bonus.
This is very interesting.
I have some back problems, so this would be great to try!
Thank you for offering such an amazing giveaway! I have lupus, sjogrens, raynauds, ra, kidney disease, celiac, erythromelalgia, adrenal fatigue, high copper and way too many food and drug allergies. This would be absolutely perfect for me! Thanks for always sharing such wonderful and helpful information! Love your blog and your cookbooks!
My husband has a skin issue that no Dr. has ever been able to diagnose. Exercise can be difficult. This would be a wonderful way for my husband to sweat and detox.
What a wonderful gift this would be. I am struggling with thyroid and other autoimmune disorders and my husband is a diabetic II. My fingers and toes are crossed. 🙂
Thanks for the opportunity to win this! My hubby has cancer so this would be great for him.
I have been struggling with adrenal fatigue and hashimotos for 3 years now. This may be just the thing to complete my healing journey. Thank you for sharing your story to help others!
This is really cool. Wonder if it would help with my fibromyalgia, especially when I have flare-ups.
Very nice!! I think any help with detoxification (or less exercise) is awesome!!
Our family would love a sauna. We are currently using a far sauna at our chiropractors but one in our home would be so much more beneficial and cost friendly for a family of 9!
This looks amazing, and so easy to use. Would love to try it. 🙂
I lived in Finland for a year as an exchange student and took many saunas while there. My skin was amazing and people there didn’t even need to use deodorant. Since then, I’ve learned that near-infrared is ever better. Looking forward to having something like this at home!
Would love to have one…dealing with lots of joint issues right now and we have had such a long, cold winter here in the midwest. The thought of being able to access warmth like the Infared Sauna would be amazing!
Thank you Carrie!
I have an undiagnosed auto-immune disorder and would love to try to help my body recover so I can be healthier for my children.
WOW! Great give-away. I love your new cookbook and I am making daily changes. Thank you!
I would love to try this. It doesn’t look like it would take up a lot of space. I just love being warm.:)
I have always wanted to try infrared saunas for the detox effects but have none available in my area. This would be amazing to have a “pocket sauna” to fit in my small home.
I would love to win! My dad was just diagnosed with cancer.
I also have Hashimotos and have been doing everything I can to get healthy and detox. This would be such an exciting addition to my health routine!
The sauna would be so good for our family.
Who doesn’t want increased metabolism and collegen production, along with increased immunity? Sounds amazing!
Thank you for all the hard work you put into your website. It has been so helpful! Found out last spring that my daughter and I have MTHFR mutation and adrenal fatigue. Please don’t stop putting out great information.
i have been chronically ill and have been wanting to try near infrared sauna. it has been hard for me to exercise so i think this could really help with healing!
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge, recipes and helpful hints! I am in the process of switching all of the cleaning products at my home and clinic to the Branch Basics brand that you recommended in another post and I absolutely agree with regular use of the Far Infrared sauna as a way to shed the thousands of chemicals that surround us in the modern world. I share your website every day with my patients in my integrative family practice clinic.
Warmest Regards,
Dr. Ann Auburn, D.O.

I am battling Lupus and RA. Currently in a flare, and having difficulty even doing day to day tasks. Walking is especially difficult. Sauna would help immensely, but I live in a rural area with limited options.
Thank you Carrie for sharing your personal medical history with us and for creating a better way to eat for everyone! As a working mother of 2 growing girls, you have been a savior of sorts when it comes to creating healthy meals for my family!
I have tendonitis and a friend in CA suggested red light therapy since I’ve tried just about everything! This sauna should also help my husband with his autoimmune disease and also keep my girls healthy as well!
You’re the best!
The nearest infrared sauna to me is 45 minutes away.. would love to have one!
I’m so excited about this… I’ve been wanting a sauna but don’t have the room or extra money to put to it for now. I love that’s theres a smaller easier option!
It will help me to continue to heal from RA.
Such an amazing giveaway!! I would love to win as it would be so relaxing and help me sweat out toxins! 🙂
I would love this for relaxation and de-stressing.
I would use this to aid in healing from hyperthyroidism.
This setup sounds so much better than the heat-lamps-attached-to-a-desk-chair we have rigged up at the moment! Bonus…I think these lights are probably not blinding like the ones we have now!
What a great offer! Several in our family are dealing w/ multiple health issues. We recently learned that this type of sauna would be beneficial for the cellular detox dysfunction and an AI condition my daughter is having and this comes highly recommended as an arm of healing for her in particular. However, the cost is out of our budget right now. Winning this would be an answer would be incredible! Thanks again.
Having an in-home sauna would be fantastic to help detox for health reasons.

Have been looking at sauna’s to help the family detox…Would be nice to have one in the home.
This would be great for hubby. He has severe rheumatoid arthritis and spinal stenosis.
Pain relieve and relaxation… wow, I could only wish! This would be great!
This is completely new to me….I am intrigued!
This is totally fascinating! I knew saunas were supposedly “good” for you, but I never really enjoyed them. This makes me want to give them another try, to help with detoxing.
My husband has been looking for a sauna. This is perfect and would fit in our house wonderfully!!!
I would use it for detox, relaxation, ache relief and cell renewal. Thanks for the info Carrie.
If I won, I would use it daily for detoxing and healing some medical issues. I also think it would be very relaxing.
I have been paying to use an infrared sauna in a local health center for detoxification, pain relief, and relaxation. I would LOVE to have one in my home.
I am struggling with severe adrenal fatigue and autoimmune disease. I’ve spent the last three years of my life changing the way I live to heal myself. I know the NIR sauna would be a blessing to me! Thank you, Carrie, for sharing all of your wisdom and yummy recipes with so many! God bless you!
This would help with my muscle pain that I have due to spinal twisting and I refuse to take anything other than aspirin. And it looks just so relaxing-I’ll be living in it if I win! LOL

I really would love to win this as I am on tight budget. I am dealing with dairy and grain allergies. I also struggle with depression and anxiety that comes from the diet. I am doing everything I can to reverse it. This would really help!
I am originally from Russia and to say I miss the Banya (Russian version of sauna) is an understatement! I’ve lived here for 20 years and miss it. It is amazingly invigorating and I really miss the experience. My husband has heart problems and sauna treatment is really good for him health wise, this would be incredible!
I broke my leg last November and I’ve just been having trouble bouncing back from the injury. I’d hope this could help me with the pain and aid in my recovery.
Ohhhh I would love a sauna. I have the perfect space for it and it would be absolutely lovely in these cold New England winters…
Would love to try this – I’m also battling thyroid and adrenal issues along with Lyme disease so am willing to give it a go. My husband goes to the sauna every day and I’m kinda jealous!
I would love to win! I would use it for relaxation and detoxification.
My co-worker just recently shared her love for the infrared saunas and all of their benefits. So amazing! Now one is on my wishlist!
I have Hashimoto’s as well as CFS and so far am a 3 year cancer survivor, sounds like this would help me with all the chronic health conditions.
This would be awesome!!! Thanks for the chance!
This would be fabulous for our entire family, but especially for my son with autism!!
I feel like my health issues are holding me back big time when it comes to living life, I would love to try and benefit from the healing powers of the Infrared Sauna.
I have Hashimotos Diease and would love to add this to my routine.
My husband and I have talked about getting something like this for awhile. This one looks awesome! It would be great to win it! We would love to detox regularly in our home.

Suffering from hypothyroidism has led me to your wonderful site, full of information about cleaning up my body to run more efficiently. I’ve used your meal plans to clean up my diet and love the detox part of the sauna to rid toxins. I also think relaxing while doing it is a bonus in my hectic daily schedule. Thank you for the generous offer….
As a new Hashi diagnosis has changed my world, I think the SaunaSpace Sauna Pocket would help get me back on track! Thank you for the chance to win!
Wow! I’ve never heard of a portable sauna!! This is amazing and such an easy way to reduce stress.
I have horrible neck and back problems along with Fibromyalgia. This would be amazing for me. I do physical therapy and some Yoga but this would be the topper that I need to continue the healing process for my body. Thank you
I shared the link on my Facebook but I do not know how to do the entry so I get the extra 10?
I would so love to own an infared sauna but have not had it in the budget. My whole family would benefit from a daily detox to major stress relief!
My goodness, I would LOVE to win this!! I am currently undergoing treatment with a functional medicine doctor for mercury/lead toxicity and I’m sure this would greatly assist the detox process. Thank you for the extremely generous chance to win!!
What a great way to add Infared Sauna Therapy to a daily detox program.
My husband was a Finish exchange student in High School and still talks non-stop about the saunas. This is so great!
I would love one for back pain and my hubby’s migraines~!
Hi Carrie, first I’d like to thank you for your blog I really enjoy it and learned so much from it during my journey of healing of different health issues. I’m a mom
Of 2 kids still struggling, I would greatly benefit of sauna therapy and appreciate you giving me a chance in this. Thank you so much!!
I have inflammatory arthritis. I use heat packs, but when i flare I just need to COVER myself in heat, this would be perfect.
My family and I would love to own an infrared sauna! We have not been able to afford one but would benefit greatly from one to improve our health, from detoxing to stress relief. The health of myself and my family is the most important thing to me, so I would love to have an infrared sauna in our home!
Enjoyed the article. I bought a “HealthMate” infra red sauna a few years back and swear by it, especially on cold winter nights.
Cheers Rob
Thank you for all the information and time that you have dedicated to share with all of us. I always think there is a way to heal ourself.
I will keep reading your posts and hopefully I can start healing. I will try this sauna therapy!
Carrie- I have SO loved your blog! You have taught me so much about how to live more naturally, especially with kiddos. Your recipes are perfection and comprise of most of our meals!
I would love to try the infared sauna to help my body find it’s homeostasis again. I just took a nutritional genome test and discovered I have so many DNA weaknesses in terms of anxiety. That along with a fragile metabolic system, have left me needing to de-stress terribly. I would love to cozy up to one of these saunas!
Can the people with fair sensitive skin use this type of sauna?
Yes!
I have had whole system candidasis for almost 30 years, as well as hypoglycemia, fibromyalgia, and thyroid issues. It sounds like this type of sauna might help all of these. I’ll look into it very soon.
I trust your information, Carrie, and am so thankful for all of it. You are such a giving lady to share it with all of us.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Carrie,
Sarah Pope of The Healthy Home Economist says that the Near-infrared sauna eliminated floaters in her eyes. Do you think just purchasing the light (not the entire sauna) would also eliminate floaters?
That’s great that it helped her! Floaters can also be rooted in Vitamin A (retinol) deficiency, so a red light, plus healthy retinol-rich foods daily could really help!
Hi Carrie,
I bought the photon light from Sauna Space last Black Friday per your recommendation. Just wonder if this light is ok on someone with hyperthyroidism? Thank you.
Yes, it can be very helpful for all kinds of thyroid disease.
I have some personal health questions I need to ask you about . Not thyroid but weight related. please contact me. thankyou
