Sauna Frequently Asked Questions
-
The most important thing you can do before your first sauna session is hydrate. Hydrate both before and after you spend time in the sauna. While you’re in the infrared sauna, breathe intentionally and deeply to help your body relax.
-
Before you step into the sauna, make sure that you do not have any medical conditions that could impact your experience, such as cardiovascular conditions or high blood pressure.
-
The sauna is set to approximately 150°F. This temperature is the ideal heat for absorption of the infrared rays.
-
We have an infrared sauna, which is different than a traditional sauna. An infrared sauna uses infrared light to heat your body in addition to heating the air within the room. Infrared light has three wavelengths that combine for full-spectrum light therapy, which is able to successfully penetrate different depths and layers of your skin and body.
-
You could lose up to one pound of water in the sauna, so it’s critical to hydrate both before and after. Avoid caffeine, and, instead, hydrate with water. Look for water with added electrolytes to add necessary minerals back into your body. We recommend BodyBio e-lyte for the most effective replenishment.
-
Your first sauna visit could be as short as ten minutes. Eventually, you’ll build up to 20 to 30 minutes.
-
We always say that you should go as often as is realistic for your schedule. However, research has shown a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality with a consistent sauna practice of 4 to 5 times per week.
-
A cold plunge is always optional, but we encourage you to cold plunge after sauna in the morning and midday to boost energy and metabolism. In the evening, after 4 PM, it’s best to cold plunge first, then enter the sauna to help calm your nervous system.
