Despite what Gwenyth Paltrow’s Goop gift guides say, you don’t have to shell out $10,000 on an at-home sauna to enjoy the benefits of a detoxifying steam.
Whether it’s the hefty price, or more likely that you simply don’t have the room to outfit an entire spa in your house like the Hollywood coterie, infrared sauna blankets are a practical and affordable alternative. Unlike a traditional sauna, sauna blankets emit far infrared wavelengths rather than full-spectrum rays, and allow you to enjoy a steam while laying down…in your own home.
