- Always remember to drink plenty of fluids before, during and after your sauna session. Drinking plenty of water after will help your body eliminate all of the toxins from the sauna session.
- Heat the sauna to the desired temperature. You will want to do this up to 30 minutes before you plan to use it so it is warm and ready when you are. The most common temperatures for beginners are in the range of 110° F to 118° F. You can experiment to find what is most comfortable for you.
- Some people enjoy working out prior to using the sauna to get their blood flowing. If you exercise prior to using the sauna, monitor your body to make sure you do not overheat, since you will already be warm prior to entering.
- You can start with one or two sauna sessions per week and work up from there. Start with 15 to 20 minutes and gradually increase this time with future sessions as desired.
- Wear as little clothing as possible to get the best infrared sauna benefits and feel the most comfortable. Infrared rays have difficulty penetrating clothing. You should take two towels in the sauna. One will be used to sit on, and the other can be used to wipe away any sweat.
- Use this sauna session to relax, meditate and escape. Relieving stress and tension is one of the sauna’s major benefits! You can massage the areas of your body that ache to relieve sore and tense muscles. From time to time throughout the session, wipe off excess perspiration to allow for more intense sweating.
- If at any time during your sauna session you feel dizzy, sleepy or any discomfort, exit the sauna immediately.
- After your sauna session is complete, turn off the power and sit in the sauna with the door opened slightly for about 10 minutes to let you your body cool down.
- Take a shower to clean the toxins from your body. It is best to wait 15 to 20 minutes before taking a warm shower to rinse the perspiration from your body so you can fully cool down and finish sweating prior to your shower.

The Health Benefits of Infrared Saunas
Everyone strives to be healthy and happy. Infrared Saunas can help you achieve this goal with the many health benefits they offer. They can lower your blood pressure, aid in weight loss, and extend your life. Mainstream media is finally giving infrared saunas the attention they deserve, according to Dr. Mehmet Oz on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
The following are some unique health benefits that infrared saunas provide users:
Lower Blood Pressure
Infrared saunas are different from normal saunas in that they make the same rays that come from the sun without the UV radiation, leaving only the infrared rays. These rays are then lightly absorbed into the skin. Dr. Oz mentions the reason heating the body is important is that it is shown that people who take saunas a couple of times per week actually drop their blood pressure. The infrared sauna environment in which they are lowering their blood pressure is a more comfortable temperature than sitting in a heated traditional sauna environment. These saunas excel due to the fact that they do not hurt your lungs if you take a deep breath.
Detoxification
We spoke about the benefits infrared saunas have on detoxification in our Sauna FAQ. The main thing we want to stress is to wash your skin once you exit the sauna to get the toxins off your skin and refresh your system.
Weight Loss
We also mentioned the benefits of weight loss that come from using an infrared sauna in our Sauna FAQ. Since it increases blood circulation, makes your heart beat faster and gets you to burn more calories. Hats off to burning calories!
Extend Your Life
A major benefit is helping to extend your life. Medical researchers have long been reporting on the health benefits of infrared sauna therapy. It helps support those who suffer from fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and even autism. The circulatory and blood pressure lowering benefits are a major plus! Another benefit that helps to extend your life, and the overall quality of your life, is the fact that saunas aid in relaxation. With all the stress being experienced and the fast pace of life, saunas help you take a moment and fully relax. The heat also helps bring that relaxation to a heightened stage of completion.
In 2011, if you want to help your health and quality of life, visit your sauna for relaxation, weight loss, detoxify, and lowered blood pressure. Visit www.SaunasAndStuff.com to see the many different types of saunas and infrared sauna kits we offer.
