A thermal device comprising a heatable and ventilatable thermal cabin (2) for at least one person is equipped with adjustable heating means (4) and with adjustable ventilation means (6) and, optionally, with a temperate sensor (8). Furthermore, detection means (10) are available for the continuous detection of the presence of persons situated in the thermal cabin, wherein said detection means interact with a heating control device (12) for the heating means (4). Due to the fact that a base heating power can be set when no one is present and that a comparatively higher operational heating power can be set when someone is present, the energy requirement when operating the thermal facility can be reduced considerably.

Modular infrared heater units for a sauna and methods for constructing a sauna. The infrared heater units include one or more heating elements disposed in a housing. The housing is configured for direct mounting on walls of a structure and includes a pigtail for coupling to a controller. The housing is dimensioned to accommodate a paneling or other cladding on the walls and includes a trim frame that obscures edges of the cladding adjacent to the heater unit. Construction of a sauna unit includes mounting of a plurality of the heater units on walls of the structure; electrically communicably coupling the heater units to a controller; and providing any desired cladding to the interior of the structure.

Systems and methods are provided for controlling infrared radiation (IR) sources of a sauna including tuning IR wavelength-ranges and radiated power-levels of IR sources, and directing IR to locations on a user's body. In one illustrative embodiment, a sauna may be provided having adjustable IR emitters to emit IR at any wavelength resulting in a desirable radiation treatment for the sauna user. In another illustrative embodiment, a method is provided for tuning IR emitters in a sauna.

A sauna having a video display device, a loud speaker device, lighting elements, an aromatherapy device, and a user interface device, and includes control circuitry which links the sauna to a remote server. The remote server provides media files for display to a user and collects and stores user profile and usage information. Multiple saunas are be linked into a network or global infrastructure so that a user's profile and usage information follow the user to any sauna connected to the network. Collected data can be used by users to track individual usage and performance metrices, and by service providers to analyze usage data and information for operational and marketing purposes.

An outdoor furniture item (1) includes at least one seating and/or lying unit (3), a first shell element (5), and a second shell element (7). The first shell element (5) and/or the second shell element (7) can be selectively rearranged into a first configuration and into a second configuration with respect to the respective other shell element (7, 5). In the first configuration, the first shell element (5) and the second shell element (7) are at least partly nested in one another. In the second configuration the first shell element (5) and the second shell element (7) together enclose an essentially closed inner space, in which the at least one seating and/or lying unit (3) is located.

The disclosed technology includes devices, systems, and methods of fabricating and using a therapeutic tent to non-invasively treat burns, respiratory illnesses, muscle issues, and various other illnesses and physical, psychological, and emotional conditions. In some implementations, a disclosed system includes a tent, a steam source configured to supply an interior of the tent with steam, and a light source configured to illuminate the tent. The tent, the steam, and the light source are configured to treat a condition.

A modular portable exercise and sauna tent is an apparatus that provides an enclosed phototherapeutic environment for a user. The size and shape of the apparatus is adjustable depending on the position of the user within the apparatus. The apparatus includes a scaffolding, a thermally insulative cover, and at least one heating lamp. The thermally insulative cover further includes a first panel, a second panel, and an overlay panel. The scaffolding defines an area of heat around the user. The thermally insulative cover encloses the defined area. The scaffolding further includes a first base frame, a second base frame, and a plurality of lateral posts, each of which are adjustable in length.

The shapes of the first base frame and the second base frame are both adjustable. The apparatus preferably includes a flooring layer that provides comfort and protection for the user against the ground.

A steam therapy equipment including a vessel for heating a mixture of water and organic materials, a compressor to inject pressurized air into the vessel producing pressurized steam. The pressurized steam is conducted into the equipment via one or more valves. The therapy equipment is formed from at least one panel and may include a supporting frame. The therapy equipment includes a temperature sensor to measure the temperature inside the therapy equipment when pressurized steam is admitted via the valves. A patient enters the equipment and is exposed to the pressurized steam, causing dilation of the skin pores of the patient, whereby toxins are removed from the patient. One or more applicators may conduct pressurized steam to specific portions of the body of the patient. The patient may be provided with a portion of the mixture to consume as part of the steam therapy treatment.

An apparatus for converting a shower space into a steam shower space, by utilizing the existing hot water supply from the existing shower head and providing a means to contain and disperse the heat and steam with-in the containment apparatus. The apparatus for creating a steam shower space generally includes a removable and portable water resistant containment curtain for containing heat and steam, a diverter that alters the direction of hot water from the shower head while dispersing heat and affecting the flow of water vapor and hot air, a frame that supports the containment curtain, and mounts that secure th.e aforementioned to the shower space structure.
