"A popular and effective means of relaxing is the sauna -- a Finnish concept that refers to the room where a heat bath is taken," said Charles Monteverdi, President of Sussman Lifestyle Group. "The sauna is a refreshing and revitalizing experience that helps both body and mind."

In a sauna, high temperatures help cleanse the skin of impurities which prevent skin ailments while making it more supple. The heat also relaxes the muscles, relieving muscular aches and pains while improved blood circulation creates a more youthful appearance. Stress melts away and many people sleep more soundly.

The Sussman Lifestyle Group makes it possible to enjoy this restorative experience in your own home while adding value to it. Mr. Sauna(R) rooms, cost-effective luxuries for new homes and remodeling upgrades alike, can be tailored to fit every space, budget, and taste. Homeowners can choose from pre-built, pre-cut, or custom-designed packages. All Mr. Sauna(R) woodwork is beautifully decorated and secured with invisible underside fasteners, assuring a safe sauna environment.

"Over the centuries, Sauna bathing has played a major role in personal stress and health management," said Monteverdi. "The ancient medical text, the Ayurveda, written in Sanskrit in 568 BC, prescribed the sweat bath as a health measure," he continued, "People came to the sauna for religious purposes, for purification, and to relax from the stress of daily life."

However, because so few modern-day people perform hard, physical labor for a living, most simply do not perspire enough. Pores are also clogged through the use of cosmetics, antiperspirants, smog, and other modern "conveniences." "This is where repeated sauna use can help," Monteverdi added.

Beginning users should use the sauna judiciously to start. As long as they are comfortable, they may stay in the sauna, or repeat a hot-cold cycle as often as they choose. Sauna use, however, should be avoided by those with a fever or an inflammatory disease or injury, if pregnant, or if they have been drinking. The Sussman Lifestyle Group recommends that users consult their physician if they have heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma or a skin disease.

Enjoy balance and contentment through natural means. The Sussman Lifestyle Group's line of products which include Mr. Steam(R), Mr. Sauna(R) and Steam@Home(R) can play an important role in your personal stress and health management. For more information visit the company's website: www.mrsteam.com.
