How often should I use an infrared sauna?
Sauna usage is very much dependant on the individual and their specific needs/goals. We recommend 2-4 sessions per week but even 1 session per week provides benefits including relaxation, muscle recovery, improved circulation, and detoxification.
How long should I stay in an infrared sauna?
A typical session lasts 30 to 45 minutes, but first-time users may start with 15–20 minutes and gradually increase as they become more comfortable.
What is the optimal temperature?
The optimal temperature for an infrared sauna is between 45-60 degrees. Beginners should start at 45-50 and gradually work up to 55-60 degrees.
What should I wear in the sauna?
Whatever you feel the most comfortable. That can be swimsuits or nothing at all. We do suggest bringing some light weight/ comfortable clothes to put on after your sessions.
Should I drink water before and after my sauna session?
Absolutely! Hydration is essential before, during, and after your sauna session to replace lost fluids and avoid dehydration.
