Getting the most out of your sauna session at Rest Relax

If your doctor gives you the go-ahead to use a sauna, the following tips should help you get the most out of it while also maximizing your safety and comfort: 

  • Aim for 3 to 4 30-minute sessions per week in a sauna heated to around 176° to 212° Fahrenheit. This frequency has been shown in research to offer the most health benefits—but even just 2 times a week can be beneficial!
  • Build up your tolerance slowly. Start with 5 to 10-minute sessions and gradually increase your sitting time until you can stay for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drink a glass or two of water and take a rinse-off shower before and after using the sauna.
  • What to wear? Nothing, just sit on your towel and enjoy the Sauna. We embrace the traditions of the Scandinavians. 
  • If you begin to feel dizzy, sleepy, lightheaded, faint, ill or uneasy, leave the sauna immediately.
