I know the saunas are more powerful...but the sun can get pretty

intense where I live (SoCal) and standing in it will make you start to

sweat similar to an infrared sauna. It wasn't how powerful it is, but

just the fact that there are times when the body is heated unevenly.

Even in front of a fire in cold weather your body will get quite an

uneven heating. I am considering getting a little portable steam

sauna though, just to try and feel the difference as I never used one

before.
