  • <h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Popular Cedar

    Western Red Cedar, known for its beauty and durability, is safe, non-toxic and one of the most popular woods used to make saunas, according to Specialty Home Solutions. Cedar oil has been used for thousands of years to prevent and cure illness and to preserve and protect wood from insects and fungi, says Specialty Home Solutions.

    On the Other: Dust is Harmful

    Inhaling any kind of wood dust in large quantities in enclosed spaces can harm humans, according to Far North Wellness, which manufactures infrared saunas. People who are allergic to cedar should not buy a cedar sauna.

    Bottom Line

    No cases of health problems caused by the use of cedar saunas have been reported to government agencies or research groups, according to Specialty Home Solutions. Normal use of cedar saunas is safe.
