Infrared Sauna Frequently Asked Questions
Start with 5 to 10 minutes and build up from there. Drink water before and after, and step out if you feel too warm or dizzy.
An infrared sauna uses both heat and light waves. It produces more sweating than a traditional sauna while running at a lower temperature.
How long should a session last?
Start with 5 to 10 minutes, then work up to the length you are comfortable with.
Fifteen to twenty minutes is enough to feel the effects of a session. Thirty minutes is the average recommended length once you are used to it.
When you are no longer comfortably relaxing, end the session for the day. Listen to your body.
When to step out
If you get too warm for comfort, or if you feel dizzy, end the session and get out.
Before and after your session
- Drink water before and after. You will be sweating more than usual, so keeping your fluid levels up matters.
- Rinse off afterwards.
