Tips For Infrared Sauna Use.

Here’s a few ideas for infrared sauna use, (and regular saunas too.)
There are some things you should do when you take a sauna of any description, including an infrared sauna. Here’s a few tips on sauna use for you. Of course a lot of it is common sense, so use your common sense like you would for anything else.
Saunas are not for everyone. For example those with heart conditions, high blood pressure and the like are advised to consult a doctor before starting a regime of sauna use, both with Finnish saunas and infrared saunas. If you are in any doubt about using a sauna always ask your doctor first. Next time edyou’re visiting see what your doctor says.
And if you’re under the influence of anything, be it drugs, both recreational or medicinal, or alcohol or anything at all that affects your conscious state, then don’t use a sauna, period.
You need to be aware of dehydration. You sweat a lot in a sauna, that’s why you’re there. But sweating dehydrates you unless you pay attention to it. So before you get into your infrared sauna take a drink, either water or mineralized water. It’s not such a good idea at all to drink alcohol in the sauna, so don’t. And remember that the dehydration continues when you come out, so take another drink or 3 afterwards.
And don’t eat a lot before heading into the sauna, keep that for later if you wish.
Don’t wear your contact lenses in the sauna.
You only need light clothing or just a towel for your modesty in the sauna, none if that takes your fancy. Don’t wear a lot. And it’s handy to have a towel to sit on, it gets hot and you’re going to sweat, although you won’t get nearly as hot in a infra red sauna as you will in a traditional sauna. Infrared saunas do not heat the air like rock saunas do.
And once you get out recognise that you’re going to keep sweating for a while. So it’s worth taking it easy for a little while till you cool down and stop sweating. Otherwise you’ll have a shower and need one again in half an hour.
And remember, a sauna is meant to be taken slowly, and enjoyed. Don’t rush it, either before or after. Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy it, after all, you’re there to de-stress, not get stressed out.
And remember, whether you’re taking a rock or Finnish Sauna or an infrared sauna, enjoy it. That’s what you’re doing it for. Even if you’re there for your health it helps to relax and enjoy yourself. Take it easy and you’ll love it. Rush and it won’t work for you.
And in our view you’re much better taking a far infrared sauna than a Finnish sauna. Much more comfortable, and much more enjoyable.
