Personal sauna or MRI chamber?

As fond as we are of massage chairs--and even more of massage beds--we'd be somewhat reluctant to surrender our bodies to this personal sauna for fear that we'd be entering an MRI scan.

The "Solo System Sauna" uses infrared heat and electromagnetic waves that are concentrated on the parts of the body "where you need it most," according to its product literature. That sounds kind of frightening, especially when trapped in its "double dome" compartment that also resembles an iron lung.

On the other hand, maybe we're the ones that are out of sync. If people are willing to submit themselves to chambers like the "CelluBike," the Solo can't be that bad; at least you can just lie there instead of pedalng.

That MRI looking chamber freaks me out! They look much to confining to enjoy a comfortable infrared session for ANY amount of time. Although, I do believe there are innumerable amounts of benefits one can achieve from regular infrared sauna sessions. In doing research, I found a very comfortable, NON-confining alternative at <a href="http://www.InfraredSaunas.ws">InfraredSaunas.ws</a>
