What Do You Think About Infrared Sauna as Finnish Sauna Alternative?
When I hear about Infrared sauna as Finnish sauna alternative, I am not sure in its safety. I post an article:http://saunabanyaspa.blogspot.com/2008/03/traditional-vs-infrared-sauna.html and I think that in traditional sauna, Russian banya and Turkish hamam we heat our body up from the outside. But in case of infrared sauna, we heat up from the inside. Is it a trouble?

Nope, they’re about the same.
Infrared saunas are designed to heat the body and not the air. The far infrared ray is a form of electromagnetic light energy that heats the body but not the surrounding air. When a longer wavelength of light warms an object without warming the air between the source and the object it is called radiant heat, or more correctly, Far Infrared Radiation (FIR).
Far infrared is used in hospitals to warm preemies in incubators! It will also not cause tanning, or skin cancer, and people who feel that traditional saunas are too hot for them will enjoy these saunas.

Well I don’t have much info about Infrared sauna, but I can say that I simply cannot stand being there. Compared to traditional Finnish wood heated sauna or smoke sauna I simply find it .. too modern. Well it’s just my opinion as a Finn, but Infrared sauna should be safe at least.
