Which type of sauna is best for you is a matter of preference and what health benefits you’re looking to get from your sauna. Both of them have their own benefits and are useful for different purposes.
If you want to enjoy a high-heat, high-humidity sauna session then a traditional sauna is best for you. You have full control over the temperature and humidity, allowing you to dial them both up and down when necessary. Traditional saunas are for those that prefer the moist and humid sauna experience that clears the passages.
Alternatively, if you find the high heat and humidity of a traditional sauna uncomfortable or would prefer something cooler, a far infrared sauna is the one to choose. Not only can you achieve similar results in lower temperatures, but FIR provides a more thorough distribution of heat throughout the body
