Comment by Rajam K Roose on January 4, 2010 at 3:12pm: Ahhh, I love steam therapy! I've built and used sweat lodges in the traditional manner of the First People in the states and really like the dry sauna's found at resorts and spa's.

I'm thinking of getting one of those infrared plug in dry sauna's. You can find good deals on them at Home & Garden shows. They've recently made them so you can have them outdoor if it won't fit in your house. For Southern CA, I figured that would be way less of a fire hazard than building a sweat lodge in the backyard!!

Comment by Mike Hinkle on November 30, 2009 at 8:44pm: Hi Marissa,

I never had any problems. I just hate a clinic type feeling. People loved it! I think as long as you act professional, it will be fine. I actually had people come back just to try the different rooms.

Comment by Marissa on November 30, 2009 at 9:24am: Mike- I had similar ideas when I was in school. The director "frowned upon" them due to the fact that it "can be construed as something we are not, when using 'theme' rooms". What's your take and did you ever have any trouble?

Comment by Crystal Dawn Suovanen on November 30, 2009 at 1:05am: Okay, I was just going off of various sources on the internet including this one: http://curezone.com/schulze/handbook/hyperthermia.asp

(I am glad you don't have to use an enema during the cold sheet treatment.)

Comment by Darcy Neibaur on November 29, 2009 at 11:24pm: We did cold sheet treatments in school. Nothing was ever discussed about an enema during the treatment

Comment by Crystal Dawn Suovanen on November 29, 2009 at 4:20pm: I remember going camping, there was a steam bath house in the nearby greenhouse. It was so pretty; a jacuzzi filled the greenhouse with steam, which fogged the glass.

Comment by Marilyn St.John on November 29, 2009 at 10:48am: Have I found my true Finnish home here? I've always been mystified that the Finns routinely "take sauna" while even my Swedish (therefore, northern) friends just say "its a Finnish thing." I grew up with the original wood-fired, smoke-house version by the lake...a steambath (sauna) can provide everything you describe plus a unique social outing in the right context!
