Crash, bang, splat. Pop, pop, pop. Chaos, screaming and yelling. The tears are flowing almost as much as the blood. . . No, this isn’t your typical war zone: it’s your kids – creating a mess in your freshly cleaned home.

Relax, close your eyes and imagine the rejuvenating experience of the sun warming your skin on a fresh spring day after the long, cold winter.

This is the type of feeling that you can enjoy everyday with your own personal portable infrared sauna: no matter where you are. Whether you’re at home, at the office during your lunch break or in a hotel on the road; you can carry a bit of paradise in a box with you.

What is a personal portable infrared sauna?

A personal portable infrared sauna is like a light weight mini-vacation that can be visited on demand, on your terms. An infrared sauna is a safe, more efficient alternative to conventional saunas. Infrared saunas use waves, much like the sun, to directly warm your skin: giving you a deep penetrating warmth without the extreme feeling of all the heated steam that you would generally feel using a conventional sauna.
While infrared saunas can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes: the ultimate in affordability and portability are the personal portable infrared saunas. Typically weighing in at less than 15lbs these refreshing escapes can help you detoxify both your mind and body in a short 20-30 minute session. No leaving to go to the gym, no feeling uncomfortable when having to share sauna space: just you, alone, in this simple paradise on your way to mind cleansing freedom.

Building your own sauna requires a bit more research. Carefully plan the layout of the benches so that you can maximize the use of the space. Remember that upper benches will be hotter then the lower benches.

The Narconon of Georgia drug rehabilitation and education program has many outreach activities, but none may be more special than their dedication to saving lives of orphaned children addicted to glue in Honduras.

Narconon Georgia staff recently made another trip to the troubled area, navigating the third-world country amidst an uprising of protesters, to help deliver treatment to these children in order to help them get off the streets and into an orphanage that can provide them with food, clothing, shelter and an education.

As in other parts of the world, Honduras has a growing population of street children. Some are orphaned through the death of their parents, while others have simply been put on the street by parents unable or unwilling to care for them. Unloved and hungry, children often turn to violence and drugs to survive. If they can’t steal food, sniffing glue or “flying” is something they will do to ease the pains of hunger and as a result will form severe addictions to the substance.

The treatment being delivered to them is the Narconon(R) New Life Detoxification Program, which is a body cleansing process that eliminates residues of stored toxins to relieve the physical cravings for these chemicals and allows people to have greater stability and mental capacity. It incorporates dry heat sauna therapy, nutritional supplements and exercise to repair their bodies after the damage caused by the chemicals.

This is the same procedure used at Narconon Georgia to help addicts permanently recover from other drugs, and is just one part of the long-term rehabilitation program that has been helping people successfully overcome addiction for many years.

In uncertain times both inside our country and in many other parts of the world, real heroes are the ones like those of Narconon Georgia who are producing change by saving lives from the scourge of drug abuse.
