A BEGINNERS STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO USING AN INFRARED SAUNA

Having your own infrared sauna provides a lot of convenience, as you’ll no longer have to book an appointment and drive to a spa. Instead, you can enjoy a session in the comfort and privacy of your own home. This allows you to set your own routine, and guarantees that you can maximize the health benefits of regular sauna use.

However, first-time users may be a bit confused as to how to go about their first session. There may be uncertainty regarding temperature or the steps to take to prepare. While it’s an easy process, it’s still necessary to understand the importance of carrying out the session correctly. Even if you’re using the best infrared sauna available, the only way to guarantee maximum benefit is through proper use.

A Checklist for Using the Best Infrared Sauna for First-Time Users

Set Up the Right Temperature

The ideal temperature during an infrared sauna session is 100° to 140° degrees Fahrenheit. However, if it’s your first time, you may want to set it at 100° degrees or less. This will let your body slowly acclimate to the heat. Also, because the infrared sauna warms up quickly, you don’t have to wait for it to reach your target temperature. You can enter as soon as you turn it on.

Hydrate Yourself

Since you’ll be sweating a lot in the sauna, it’s necessary to hydrate yourself before, during and after the session. Drink a glass of water before entering to prevent dehydration and overheating. It’s also best to bring a bottle of water or sports drink with you so that you can maintain a healthy fluid level throughout the session. At exit drink another glass of water.

Wear Minimal or No Clothing

If it’s possible, you may want to go nude in the sauna. This will allow your sweat to cool your body down as it evaporates on your skin, preventing you from overheating. When you’re wearing too much clothing, the sweat won’t be able to do this. Also, the clothes may reabsorb the toxin-filled sweat, allowing it to reabsorb back into your body. As much as possible, wear only light clothing. Clothing is optional, a towel is not. Make sure you bring a towel to sit on, absorbing sweat and sustaining the life of your wood.

Enjoy and Relax

An infrared sauna provides a chance for you to detoxify while relaxing. To do this, you may want to listen to your favorite music or read a good book to unwind after a stressful day at work.

Following this guide will help you ease into a wonderful sauna experience. If you’re not sure how to use your newly purchased device, you can always ask the manufacturer for tips and tricks.
