Though funny, anyone who's red skymall knows its actually a Portable Steam Sauna

Apparently, it's meant to be a [portable sauna.] (https://www.amazon.com/Infrared-Portable-Sauna-Negative-Detox/dp/B000ZGQUJO)

u/thredith · 6 pointsr/blursedimages

It is a portable sauna. The product description has been edited. Same product from Amazon.

I will also add that Calms magnesium powder in tea is amazing and puts me to sleep much of the time. Alka-seltzer Gold, aspirin and naproxen have helped with migraines and inflammation, but to a much lesser extent than the cannabis, so I haven't even thought of using those again since I started this regimen. I also recommend one of those personal saunas, relaxes my muscles and warms up my constantly cold feet. Baths with epsom salt an help.

"Epsom salt" is actually magnesium sulfate, which is not a corrosive substance. (It's good for your skin and does not cause chemical burns.)

Because water conducts electricity, most wet or submerged electronics will not work properly unless they are sealed and water-tight.

If a circuit board gets wet and is not dried quickly and completely, the water will mix with oxygen in the air and cause oxidation, often resulting in permanent damage to the circuit board.

It might be possible to find a water-tight keyboard and mouse that would work while submerged, but my guess is they would be awkard to use since your arms would naturally float to the surface of the water.

A voice-controlled AI like Siri, Alexa, or whatever would probably be more practical. Until AI assistants improve, you will be limited in the type of work you’re able to do—but that’s always true if you’re in a float tank.

You might be interested in an adjustable height desk, which allows you to alternate between standing and sitting throughout the day.

Or, you could try a treadmill desk. I have one myself and personally recommend it. You wouldn’t want to walk on it all day, but it’s great for 90 minutes or so.

Or, if you wanna keep it weird, you could try a personal infrared sauna:

Good luck brainstorming. If you’re still thinking about a vertical float tank, consider one that has only the bottom half of your body submerged that you would use in a sitting or kneeling position. It would still be more comfortable than a regular chair, and you wouldn’t need to submerge your electronics.

Keep in mind, with any float tank, you’re going to get powdery white epsom salt all over the place whenever you drip after exiting the tank. When desigining your float room, it’s best if you can position the shower right next to the entering/exiting point of the tank.

Go do a vertical float and think it over. There are plenty of challenges, but it’s not impossible.

Can she move at all, or sit with help?

Sauna can be incredibly helpful for arthritis, and, while I can't vouch for them, portable infrared saunas only cost a few hundred dollars.

Now, while I've never used a device like this myself, I do use extreme heat to treat my autoimmune arthritic disease. Since any heat that can increase you body temperature (ideally above 100) will have an effect - both on the disease and in the form of immediate pain relief - it is likely that a device like this would be useful to your grandmother.

Technically known as induced hyperthermia, this process has been shown to have benefit in pretty much all forms of autoimmune disease, with specific evidence for various forms of arthritis - rheumatoid, osteoarthritis, spondylitis and arthritic psoriasis. Strong, feverish, heat triggers your immune system to dial back using the same process that activates healing and recovery after a feverish illness (heat shock proteins).

> Heat-shock proteins (hsps) are highly conserved and immunogenic, and they are generally perceived to be attractive initiators or targets of a pathogenic immune response and as such have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune arthritis. However, studies in animal models and arthritis patients have unraveled the disease-regulating attributes of self hsp65. We propose that the self hsp65 induces a protective and beneficial immune response owing to its ubiquitous distribution, stress-inducibility, and participation in tolerogenic processes. In contrast, the foreign hsp65 that does not influence the above processes, and which resides admixed with microbial ligands for innate receptors, generates an inflammatory pathogenic response. The regulatory properties of self hsps need be fully explored and might be utilized for therapeutic purposes.

What's more, sauna provides many of the cardio benefits of exercise, such as IIC being shown to reduce the occurence of heart issues in older people. I assume that this happens because of the increase in heart rate it induces, though I haven't looked into it much. I did notice it having quite a strong effect on myself.

I've talked about this a lot, and submitted a lot of scientific articles on induced hyperthermia. So check my comments and post submissions, and AMA any questions you still have.

good luck

u/birdyroger · 2 pointsr/coldshowers

I had the very same thought as your title earlier today.

I do both hot and cold, and I intend to buy one of those cheap, portable saunas at Amazon, like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MX19M9E/ref=s9_acsd_top_hd_bw_b2hX9Nr_c_x_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=CDXQWG5R25YGD73PNMKK&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=788ce2a6-23ee-5189-9fd0-fe6ba382ba01&pf_rd_i=2475549011

Heat has it's own therapeutic value. There is no law against doing both.

u/moomoocowbrow · 2 pointsr/Lyme

Was she ever on antibiotics for the lyme?

I would recommend epsom salt baths and an infrared sauna. You can buy a home one for like $140. It helps tremendously with that "poison in the blood" feeling and other detox issues.

Where do you guys live?

u/ReturningThisHour · 2 pointsr/cedarrapids

Most places in town with a sauna or pool will run you at least $40 a month. I opted for a cheaper gym membership and bought this portable sauna off Amazon - https://amzn.to/2zqbzsQ. Works really well.

u/sittingbulloch · 1 pointr/hyperthermia

Glad to hear the hyperthermia is still working for you. I am still using it too, with some benefits. It isn’t fixing it all, but it does make me feel better.

I wish that the fasting was doing more for you. :(

I was debating on purchasing this personal infrared sauna to try out. Not sure though.

Some outrageous deals I saw today...

A 96TB server, was $33,000...sold out at $13,000

This bracelet.

And I really want THIS sauna.

u/djdadi · 1 pointr/ketoscience

I don't have easy access to one either, but having read dozens of papers on sauna use (including decreasing all-cause mortality) I had to do something. I ended up buying one of these, best decision ever. Especially since I can do it at home while watching TV!

u/IndependentVoice · -2 pointsr/AskReddit

Dude, buy a fucking sauna

They might let you keep it if you explain that you bought it while intoxicated.
