Stay hydrated before and after sessions
Limit time to 15–20 minutes per session
Avoid alcohol and heavy meals beforehand
Cool down gradually afterward—don’t jump into a cold shower immediately
Listen to your body—lightheadedness or nausea are signs to exit
People with heart conditions, low blood pressure, or who are pregnant should consult a doctor before using a sauna. Click here to learn more
