The
Holistic Handbook of Sauna Therapy
By Nenah Sylver, Ph.D.
335 Pages, $34.95 |
About the Author
Nenah Sylver has enjoyed a rich and varied career as a Reichian psychotherapist, a holistic health educator, and an internationally published writer. In 1996 she received her doctorate in Transformational Psychology, an interdisciplinary program of bodymind psychotherapy, holistic health, and gender studies, from the Union Institute. Dr. Sylver’s last book, The Handbook of Rife Frequency Healing: Holistic Technology for Cancer and Other Diseases (Stone Ridge, New York: The Center for Frequency Education, 2001), explores a safe, non-invasive modality developed in the 1930s that uses frequencies, combined with the latest research in many areas of complementary health. Forthcoming books include a work integrating feminism, depth psychology, and the body-mind principles of Wilhelm Reich; and a handbook that studies poisonous chemicals in the home, and presents safe, effective substitutes. Formerly published under the name “Nina Silver,” her writings in holistic health, psychology, feminism, sexuality, and social change have appeared in Natural Food & Farming, Natural Living Today, The New Internationalist, 333 334 The Holistic Handbook of Sauna Therapy
Nexus, Off Our Backs, Beiträge zum Werk von Wilhelm Reich (Contributions to the Work of Wilhelm Reich), and the anthologies Journeys of the Heart: Perspectives on Intimacy in America (Bruner-Mazel, 1999), An Introduction to Women’s Studies (Simon & Schuster, 1997), Women, Culture, and Society: Readings in Women’s Studies (Simon & Schuster, 1994), Transforming a Rape Culture (Milkweed Editions, 1993), and Closer To Home: Bisexuality and Feminism (Seal Press, 1992). Her volume of poetry, Birthing, was published in 1996 by Woman in the Moon Publications. Dr. Sylver has also been cited in Utne Reader (now called Utne magazine) and The New Yorker, and listeners have enjoyed her holistic health discussions on the radio. In addition to her scholarly pursuits, Dr. Sylver is also a lifelong musician and award-winning songwriter. She looks forward to recording an album of original songs.

Microbiologist
Robert O. Young, PhD, who formulated these products from Inner Light,
Inc., says that SuperGreens—an enzyme-rich powder of grasses, herbs,
and vegetables (1 teaspoon equals about 5 pounds of greens)—when mixed
with Prime pH alkaline drops, raises the pH of the system. This
facilitates detoxification of the liver, flushes the kidneys and the
intracellular fluid, and helps eliminate fat and cellulite. His
company’s StarTan air brush system confers a lovely bronzed tan. But
it is very different from a conventional tanning bed, Dr. Young notes:
it is safe enough to be used weekly for a year-round tan (at a fraction
of the cost) because it nourishes, rejuvenates, and improves the skin
with DHA, essential fatty acids, and oxygen (nutrients for the skin and
brain).

One of the most
popular herbs in the Native American medical repertoire is chapparal,
or Larrea tridentata.
Larrea produces numerous
compounds to protect itself against bacteria, fungi, viruses, insects,
rodents, and weeds. The very phytochemicals that enable a single Larrea plant to survive
up to 11,000 years in the hot, dry, southwestern United States
desert—without being riddled with microorganisms, or eaten by insects
or animals—are desirable to humans. Five patents were granted to a
doctor for extracting and purifying the plant’s beneficial
constituents while eliminating those that could be toxic to the liver. Larrea is available in
capsules, or in lotion and spray for the skin.

Coffee is addictive and
dangerous. Even the 7% caffeine in “decaf” causes blood sugar swings
and heart arrhythmia, and releases stress hormones. Ground roasted
herbs, fruits, grains, and nuts in caffeine-free Teeccino brew (and
look) just like coffee, but taste better. Bitter herbs promote
digestion; chicory root contains inulin (a soluble fiber that nourishes
digestive flora); roasted barley has no detectable gluten levels; and
there are 65 mg. of alkalizing potassium per cup.Teeccino is also
nationally distributed to natural foods stores, the food service

The body’s dense lymphatic

three-fold forces of gravity, acceleration, and deceleration to provide

Square compresses from the
Orient, usually placed on the soles of the feet, draw out heavy metals,
chemicals, and other wastes from the body. Bamboo sap vinegar, wood
vinegar, ionic particles, agarikus mushroom, chitosan, eucalyptus, hottuynia cordata, and saururus chinesis—with the FIR emitted by
crushed tourmaline—complement any detox program.

Custom companies build saunas
individually cut to fit any space, from blueprints, floor plans, or
given dimensions. The customer can purchase prefabricated saunas, liners
for rooms, or modular, freestanding sauna kits. Saunas can be installed
for home or public use; indoors or outdoors; and as part of a room, or
as a separate room. Most custom builders also supply heaters, steam
baths, and accessories. Some manufacture their own heaters, controls,
and doors. The woods vary. Each builder is unique, so ask what they do.
Most are willing to travel.

The popularity of spas has
grown in the last decade, thanks to the educational and outreach
efforts of spa organizations. Over 50 countries are represented by
these organizations, with thousands of members that include-besides day
spas, medical spas and resort spas—body care product companies,
cruise ships, fitness centers, hotels, medical clinics, mineral spring
facilities, spa consulting firms, spa equipment manufacturers, spa
magazine publishers, and trade show organizations. Service providers
such as physicians, massage therapists, nutritionists, and wellness
instructors also may belong to spa associations, as well as any
interested consumer.
|
These
associations are devoted to influencing policy for the spa industry, as
well as promoting a positive spa experience to the public. They
accomplish
|
these goals through educational literature, seminars, and
websites. They may offer information on spa history and etiquette; spa
travel specials and cuisine; and members’ products and services, which
can include acupuncture, aromatherapy, herbal wraps, homeopathy,
massage, and sauna therapy as well as conventional spa services like
hair and nail care. The websites of most spa organizations include a
search engine that finds a specific type and location of a member
facility, and helps match consumers to a suitable spa.

A spa provides facilities and
services pertaining to beauty, fitness, and health. This listing
contains a very small sample of English-speaking facilities that have
dry saunas, steam, and/or some type of therapeutic pool. Services can
include aromatherapy and oil infusions; body and herbal wraps (using
Aryuvedic plants, algae, seaweed or other botanicals); electrolysis;
exercise, fitness and yoga classes; facials; hair and scalp care;
hydrotherapy (moving water in a pool, often containing therapeutic
liquids); many types of massage; mineral water pools; mud or clay baths;
nail care; specialized skin care, and more. Resort spas are connected
to overnight-stay hotels. Day spas may have similar, and as many,
features as resort spas, but they do not accommodate overnight guests.
Medical spas can be affiliated with homeopaths, naturopaths, nurses,
physicians, and/or medical centers; and in addition to traditional spa
fare they offer more medically-oriented services such as acupuncture,
Aryuvedic medicine treatments, chiropractic, dermatology, homeopathy,
nutritional consultations, oxygen therapy, and plastic surgery.
Medical spas may accommodate either overnight or day guests.
|
In the entry that notes which
type of sauna is used, “dry” indicates non-steam heat—usually
conventional electric or far infrared, though not always— to
distinguish it from heavy steam (although some of the dry saunas are
made to accommodate hot rocks onto which water can be poured).
“Steam” can indicate the dissemination of steam from a capsule,
so-called “steam shower,” large room, tent, or cabinet.
Hydrotherapy, hot tubs, whirlpools, waterfalls, and hot and cold plunge
pools are referenced as well; but swimming pools are not. Be aware that
some state laws in the US require that whirlpools and similar tubs be
decontaminated with chlorine, which is poisonous and can cause
respiratory and skin problems in many people.
|
It is
impossible to list every establishment that has a sauna, so consult your
local phone directory under “YMCA” (or “YWCA,” “YMHA,” or
“YWHA”) and “Health Clubs.” I did not list the chain health
clubs such as The Equinox or Health and Racquet Club, or spas found in
the following well-known chain hotels: the Biltmore, Doral, Hilton,
Hyatt Regency, La Quinta, Loews, Marriott, Plaza, Radisson,
Ritz-Carlton, and St. Regis—partly because these facilities can be
found easily in the phone book, and partly because many of the larger
|
chain hotels no longer open their facilities to people who
are not guests of the hotel. See the beginning of this Appendix for
strictly medical treatment facilities that administer to people with
serious conditions such as cancer and environmental illness.
|
Be an informed consumer. Whether you want a day spa,
resort, or medical spa, be clear about what is offered before you visit.
Due to the widespread use of poisonous chemicals for hair and nail care,
I tried not to list establishments with a major focus on “beauty”
(unless precautions are taken to use safe ingredients)—but please,
since everyone has a different tolerance of chemicals and scents, for
your own safety and peace of mind, double check. Prices at these
facilities can vary widely. Search the internet to see if the spa has a
website; a quick look may help you decide whether or not that facility
is for you.
|
NFG = No Fee for Guests. This
pertains to resort spas only. If the spa is part of a
resort, people staying at the resort may use the spa sauna, steam, and
other facilities without having to pay an additional fee.
|
FG = Fee for Guests. This
pertains to resort spas only. If the spa is part of a
resort, people staying at the resort must pay an additional fee if they
want to use the spa sauna, steam, and other facilities.
|
DP = Day Pass. This pertains to
day spas (non-resort), and to resort spas that allow non-resort guests for the day. For a (usually) moderate fee,
the customer may use the sauna (and other facilities such as exercise
equipment or swimming pool) as much as desired, without having to pay
for a special spa service.
|
PS = Purchase a Service. The
facility allows the use of the sauna or steam room if the customer buys
other spa services such as a facial or massage.
|
SF = Separate fee. There is a
separate fee for use of the sauna, steam, whirlpool, etc., independent
of other services. (This separate fee usually arises in spas that
don’t issue a Day Pass.) There might be a time restriction with this
option, so check with the facility; otherwise, an hour-long sauna can
be rather expensive. However, I tried to include only those spas that
are generous with their time and reasonably priced.
|
NFR = No Fee for Residents.
This pertains to residential spas only. They do not allow outside
guests to use their facilities.
