People around the world have used the sun's energy, including its heat and light, to promote good health for thousands of years.
They've used saunas, too, to help heal sickness and enchance wellness.
Famous Greek philospher Socrates (shown above) believed that sunlight was necessary for human health, especially for enhancing moods, and he taught his students as he walked with them outside.
No indoor classrooms, lectures, or videos for these ancient Greek students! Instead, fresh air, learning mixed with exercise and sunlight, was Socrates' way of teaching students.
Socrates taught using a probing, repeated questioning style-- now called the Socratic Method--and he used the "Peripatetic Method", which means walking from place to place on foot as he taught.
Another ancient Greek, Hippocrates, shown below, the father of modern medicine, believed that he could cure using fevers.
The people in Finland were early users of saunas. A map of this Scandinavian country is show below (left).
The Finns built small outdoor saunas, resembling houses like the one shown here (right). After heating up in the sauna, they roll around in the snow or jump in cold, icy water to cool down--then repeat this hot/cold therapy many times.
Europeans were not the only people using the principle of saunas. Native Americans used a similar concept, called the Sweat Lodge, shown below, to enjoy the benefits of a suana.
People across the globe and across the ages correctly assumed that the sun and saunas both provided health enhancing properties.
Although they had no formal studies to prove this, it turns out they were right. Lack of sunlight causes Seasonal Affective Disorder, which includes downcast moods and lethargy, among other things.
And the sun has numerous rays, visible and invisible. One of the invisible ones is far infrared, which offers rays of healing warmth.
Now, thanks to technology, the wisdom of the sauna and the health-promotion benefits of far infrared have been combined in the history making Relax FIR home portable sauna.
