Beware the saunas at costco & others that claim low EMF without exact numbers & proof.
“I purchased a TriField Meter and check the the EMF, in some places it was as high 70 milligauss at more than 12 inches. It should read no more than 2-3 milligauss from 4 inches. Do not buy any product from Dynamic Saunas. If you do check the EMF for your own safety on any Saunas. And some species of hemlock wood is also toxic in Saunas.”
“I just called JNH directly and asked for the EMF rating. Joyce was the ladies name I spoke to. She states that the EMF rating is 2-4mG when the sensor is 4″ away! Really high. Comparably, the Rocky Mountain saunas are 0.6mG when less than one inch away. The Sunlighten is rated at 0.03mG when one inch away.”
“As a point of scale, the EMF ratings for personal computers varies from 2mG to 20mG and for hair dryers from 10mG to 70mG. This information can be found in Consumer Reports.”
Here are some good sauna brands:
