My low cost sauna 'facility'. It costs me RM 480 a year back. The electric heater has broken down, now I am using a rice cooker to heat it up. For the herbs, I use 'serai wangi (Cymbopogon Nardus)', 'daun pandan' and 'misai kucing (Orthosiphon Stamineus)'. It's really refreshing, as I can immediately submerge in the pool after the sauna bath!
