How to Take a Sauna

Infrared heat is light produced by the sun, which is the heat you feel penetrating your skin when you stand in the sun — and miss when you walk into the shade. Infrared energy is also given off as body heat.

Before a Sauna Session.

Avoid heavy meals two hours before a sauna session. Avoid alcohol or other intoxicating substances. Drink eight ounces of water before entering a sauna and be sure to remove metal jewelry before entering the sauna, as it may become very hot.

Taking the Sauna.

Drink two glasses of mineralized water before entering the sauna. Add juice or minerals to your water if it is mineral-free. Use a small towel to wipe off the sweat.

Finishing Up.

Remain in the sauna no more than 30 minutes.

When finished, take a shower, warm or cool but not hot. Avoid using soap as you will be clean.
