Truly magnificent--an 'everything you ever wanted to know and should have asked' book. It is clear, concise and to the point, very complete, well organized, well written, and extremelyh informative, full of interesting and practical details. It's a Godsend for those who want and need to know more before they use a sauna. Dr. Sylver is to be commended for creating such a useful and necessary book that more and more people will soon find out they need. This is simply the best book I have ever read on this topic."

"Anyone concerned with their health, lifestyle, and longevity, needs to read this book. The Holistic Handbook of Sauna Therapy is a definitive work on sauna: comprehensive and thorough, academically discussing the science as well as the practice of sauna therapy. It is well documented, covering the historical origins, technical aspects, and the application of sauna. This book is transcultural and global in nature, and should have an impact on the world of health."

"For the past twenty years, I have used the sauna to detoxify several thousand patients exposed to a multitude of toxic chemicals at work, in the environment, and from drug abuse. This is an excellent primer, backed by solid research, explaining all aspects of sauna therapy. Dr. Sylver provides a good overview of the history of body heating in past and present civilizations. She discusses the materials that may be used in sauna construction, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. She also describes in wonderful detail how to use the sauna, what the limitations of use might be, and what to do and what not to do before, during, and after being in the sauna. This book also contains the most readable discussion of the physiology of sweating that I have ever seen. You are given all the necessary information to start your journey into the world of heat therapy, whether you are a novice, advanced user, or physician contemplating the use of sauna treatment in your practice. This book fills a great need. After 3,000 years’ use in recorded history, sauna therapy is finally coming of age and achieving the recognition it deserves!"
