How to Know When to Use a Sauna

If you are not sure when to use a sauna, consider the following tips. If you are a beginner, do not try to enter the sauna unless you have gone through a quick shower beforehand. You will not feel cold or uncomfortable after using the sauna, so you should cool off thoroughly and avoid the temptation to touch anything cold or hot. In addition, if you have any medical conditions, you should consult a doctor before using a steam room or sauna.


Before entering a sauna, make sure that you are well-rested and have not eaten anything recently. Depending on the type of sauna you're using, you may need to wait at least one to two hours after eating. If you've eaten recently, you may not sweat as much as you would in the first couple of sessions. If you're using a public sauna, you can ask the attendant to explain the rules. If you are new to the sauna, limit the time you spend in it to fifteen to twenty minutes.


Depending on the time of day, you may want to avoid the hottest part of the day to maximize your time in the sauna. The temperature and light in a sauna affect the body differently, so you should try to figure out what works best for you. Some people feel better in the morning than in the evening, so the best time to use a sauna is when you're active and awake. If you don't mind spending an hour in a heated sauna, it's fine.


Before you go into a sauna, make sure that it's fully heated. Typically, you should be able to get a temperature of 180 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. When you first step into the sauna, you might need to add a bit of loyly steam (water splashed on rocks) to prevent yourself from getting too hot. After you've reached your desired temperature, ladle cool water over yourself. Remember not to sweat into the water bucket!


Before entering a sauna, you should shower your legs in warm water. It's important to avoid getting your legs wet as this will make you sweat more. Then, you should sit on a towel or sheet. Then, you should close the sauna door quickly. Then, it's best to remain still and breathe normally. As long as you don't feel too hot, it's okay to go for a sauna session.


You can do bodyweight exercises or light stretches in a sauna. Just be sure to pay attention to your body because the heat is taxing. If you are a beginner, it's best to start small and work up to the maximum number of sauna sessions per week. Generally, a single session of a sauna is considered one course. If you regularly use a sauna, you should drink plenty of fluids.
