 What Is An Infra-Red Sauna Blanket? I first started using an infrared sauna after my Spin classes in an upscale gym in my hometown of Riga, Latvia. Our Spin coach told us that after a session of intensive cardio that not only do you shed water as you sweat, but body fat as well. Awesome, right? Not only that, but according to the coach about an eighth, yes a full eight of the fluid lost is body fat. Then when you re-hydrate, you replace this with pure water, giving you a net benefit of 12.5%, just by relaxing in the sauna after your workout. What’s not to love about that? Infra-red saunas are not as easy to come by in Ireland as they are in Latvia, so although I was able to use a regular sauna in the gym or at my friend's house (lucky me!) in her private garden sauna, it just never had quite the same effect. Then when the first lockdown hit in March of 2020, even that went out the window; no gym, no visits to my private sauna owning friend’s house, no sauna at all… But I was still longing to get the deep heat feeling that only a session in a sauna can give. That’s when I started researching solutions to get the experience of being in a sauna in my own home. Unlike my friend however, I don’t have a garden and I couldn’t imagine where a sauna would even fit in my house. The Infrared Sauna Blanket That’s when I first came across the infrared sauna blanket and I swear to you, it has changed my life. Instead of spending thousands to have a sauna installed, not to mention all the hassle of having a crew of guys in your house to do the work, I could buy one of these blankets instead and snuggle up inside it without having to so much as step outside into the cold. I love my gym classes, but I don't always want to leave the house just to get that really comfortable feeling of all-over heat, especially in the wintertime or if it's pouring rain outside. Then there's parking at the swimming pool or gym, the traffic, and the expense. I love hanging out with my friend but there's only so many times you can call someone up and say, 'hey, wanna hang out… in your sauna… again?’ How Does it Work? Using the sauna blanket really couldn’t be easier. Just plug it in, get inside and enjoy! Once you’re done all you have to do is clean it down with a damp cloth, which takes practically no time at all. Then leave it to dry and fold it way like any other blanket, under your bed or into your closet. No leaving the house, no looking for parking, no gym costs, and no pestering your friends! You can have a sauna easily, at almost no cost, every day of the week if you feel like it. Where Can I Get One? There’s a terrific company in the UK called Get Fitt that specializes in exactly this kind of product. The founder, Mark Givert, developed the technology to deal successfully with his own chronic health issues and you can easily order from his website here. Reasons Why I Love My Home SPA and ‘Infrared Blanket’.
I wouldn't be a trained Spa therapist if I didn't take a product like this and turn it into a custom treatment! Here's what I like to do to get that feeling of truly deep relaxation. First I take a warm bath with seaweed, for about 25 minutes. This allows the effects of the seaweed to really take hold. Once I'm done in the bath I spend about 25 minutes in the infrared blanket and I swear to god, you couldn't get a better feeling without going to a spa in person and paying someone to work on you for a full hour. If you want a more holistic experience then you can also book in with us here in the Relax Body Day Spa. With the custom treatments I have developed, you can enjoy not only a deeply relaxing bath in this skin nourishing seaweed, but combine this with a choice of either a full body scrub or ENZYME PEEL while soaking and relaxing your muscles, allowing all of your cares to literally wash away. If you're interested in checking it out, the model I use is called The Cocoon SOL and you can get it right here at Get Fitt. Following little bit of research online I discovered, however, that technology has evolved so that you can find what you need without breaking the bank and there is one more company offering the same product that is available at a fraction of the price. Therefore, if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to Get Fitt, then same infrared blankets are offered by Australian company MiHIGH. Plus, I was so excited that my clients could purchase this Product and use it at home, so I got you a code RELAXBODY30 and now you can get 30Eur off your order! Want a Trial? As a therapist, I also use these in my Day Spa in Balbriggan, if you’re curious, then get in touch about booking a free trial of the infrared blanket with one of my signature massages. You can find the deal under my Special Offers.  Which mask will I enjoy today after my long SPA at home session?

 What is a Seaweed Combination Therapy? As a trained Spa Therapist, I am always on the lookout for new, interesting, and effective ways to help my clients. When I first learned about the benefits of using nutrient-rich, organic seaweed I knew I had to try it out. After experiencing just how amazing it was, I began to plan how I could combine this therapy into my own practice. One of the best ways to benefit therapeutically from the use of healing seaweeds is to immerse yourself in a warm bath with some sea salts and with the seaweed itself, so this was my starting point. There are plenty of excellent products available that you can purchase and use at home. One of my favourites is Wild Irish Seaweed’s ‘Seaweed Bath in a Box’. You can order this high quality, but relatively inexpensive product online right here. I definitely recommend trying it out. Seaweed Bath and Infrared Sauna For an even deeper healing experience, why not combine a seaweed bath with a session in one of our infrared sauna blankets? This combination therapy will not only help you detox but leave you glowing with health and a deep sense of relaxation.  With approximately 25 minutes soaking in one of our healing baths, followed by 25 minutes in the infrared blanket, this entire treatment, with all of its benefits, can be completed in under one hour, leaving you plenty of time to get on with the rest of your day.
