How long should I stay inside a sauna?
While this too varies between individuals - one can usually stay in the sauna until they begin to feel uncomfortable. Typically, remain in the sauna for about 10-15 minutes and then take a break to cool off for several minutes. Then you can feel free to return to the sauna for another "inning." Our saunas can truly provide you with a much relaxing and rewarding experience, but don't stay in the sauna for extended periods of time. Set the temperature and humidity level (if you are using a traditional sauna) to your ideal level. If you begin to feel dizzy or uncomfortable, simply leave the sauna and cool off.

It's also ideal to shampoo your hair afterwards. Don't forget to drink an adequate amount of water, mineral water, fruit or vegetable juice to replace fluids that were lost during your heat bathing.

How long on average does it take for a sauna to fully heat up?
A traditional sauna generally takes between 30-45 minutes to fully heat up. During this time, the rocks will be heated to the perfect temperature for soft heat and soft steam. An infrared sauna is not as much about the heat/room temperature, as it is of the penetration or the absorption of the infrared energy. You can technically start using the infrared sauna immediately, but if you prefer to have the room itself preheated it can be warmer in as little as 10 minutes; plan on 30 - 45 minutes to reach the upper temperature range in an IR sauna.
