Tips to get the most out of your Sauna Experience


  • Avoid staying inside any sauna for longer than 30 minutes.
  • Be sure to properly hydrate with fresh, pure water before and after taking a sauna and if you are sweating profusely, you will want to consider replacing your electrolytes with something like Himalayan salt.
  • Take the sauna with a family member or close friend, or make sure someone checks on you every so often.
  • If you have any kind of ailment or are sensitive to heat, check with your healthcare professional prior to partaking.
  • Far-infrared emitters do not work through clothing. So, disrobe as much as possible to optimize the heating and sweating effects.
  • Work up to regular use over time. You don't have to take a 20 minute sauna from the get-go. Start slowly to build up an acceptable comfort level.
  • Try to remain relaxed, quiet, and reflect on positive emotions. Listening to some soothing background music may help you unwind and relax.
  • When finished, take a shower, warm or cool, but not hot. Avoid using soap as you're already clean and soap tends to clog your pores. Wash off your sweat with a skin brush or loofa.
  • After showering, sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes for final reflections on your sauna experience.
