At infrared sauna does not have strict usage guidelines. A sauna session has a few simple steps that you can adjust to your need.Step 1: Preparing to take an infrared sauna.
Begin with turning on your infrared sauna and setting the temperature you like. Now you have some time (10-20 minutes) while the sauna is warming up. Don’t forget to wipe water from your body before going to infrared sauna, because the wood of your sauna can get dark or warped after water. Some people do some physical exercises before sauna as it can shorten time it takes to begin perspire.
Make a fresh juice or fill a glass of mineral water to enjoy it in a infrared sauna.
While taking a sauna you’ll probably need some tools. One or two towels are recommended to wipe sweat as it will appear on your body. In another words I recommend to spend time while your infrared sauna is heating in some activity that takes you away from everyday routine and concentrates you on a nearing sauna session and makes you more peaceful and relaxed. I believe that enjoying your sauna not only pleasant but can significantly increase overall healing effect.
Step 2: Taking an infrared sauna.
When the sauna is ready enter it and take a comfortable position. Listening to music or watching a DVD player (some sophisticated infrared saunas can have a display and a DVD player installed) are additional options. As an infrared sauna has lower temperature and doesn’t involve steam and water as conventional saunas do, it has much broader range of possible activities. If you feel it’s too hot, ventilate sauna cabin by ventilation window (many saunas has one) or simply by opening a door for a short time. Don’t forget to wipe sweat from your body from time to time as it will lead to more intense sweating.
An infrared sauna can cause hyperthermia and should be used with care. As a general rule, if at some moment you will stop sweating or feel bad and uncomfortable, go out of the sauna immediately. Never use a sauna after alcohol intake and don’t drink alcohol while taking a sauna. Don’t force yourself into taking a sauna. It is strongly not recommended to sleep in sauna.
How often you should take sauna sessions?
Step 3: After the sauna.
I recommend scheduling your time in such way that you will have at least 15 minutes of free time after the sauna. Then take a shower of bath to wash away sweat. Your sauna which gave you such a wonderful sauna session deserves some attention too. It will make your sauna to stay new and serve you longer.
Enjoy full with sauna !
