A what, you ask? An Infrared Sauna, I say. Why do I want one? Well, because I like being warm. I like lying out in the sun. Also, I have had JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) since I was a teenager in my wrists and knees and since I am now overweight, also in my hips.
I love staying in hotels that have saunas, you can just go and wrap yourself in a towel and be warm all over. Your joints relax, you sweat away some pounds, (always drink lots of water before you go into a sauna!), your skin glows, your sinuses open up, and it's warm. This is why cats curl up in the sunshine and just look so content, it's the same feeling.
A far infrared sauna is even better because you don't have to worry about UV rays burning your skin. It's the same theory as those heated rocks that savages used back in the old day, only updated for modern times. Note that the savages never had to worry about high blood pressure or asthma. Heck, even Native Americans didn't have high blood pressure until the Europeans came with their bibles and their fire water and their smallpox. Sweat lodges! Hot rocks! And now I want one too, only it won't fit in my tiny condo. They have small ones that fit three people, which is good because saunas should be social things. I'll need a husband too....
