Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a sauna session be?
Beginners should start with 5-10 minutes. Experienced users typically do 15-20 minutes per session. Finnish sauna tradition often involves 2-3 rounds of 10-20 minutes with cool-down breaks. Never exceed 30 minutes in a single session.
What temperature should a sauna be?
Traditional saunas: 70-100°C (158-212°F). Infrared saunas: 45-65°C (113-149°F). Steam rooms: 40-50°C (104-122°F). Infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures but the infrared radiation heats your body directly.
What are the proven health benefits of sauna?
A large Finnish study found regular sauna use (4-7 times/week) was associated with significantly reduced risk of cardiovascular death, lower blood pressure, and reduced all-cause mortality. Sauna also triggers heat shock proteins that support cellular repair and immune function.
How much water should I drink during a sauna?
Drink at least 500ml (16oz) of water before your session and another 500ml-1L after. You can lose 0.5-1kg of water weight per session through sweating. Replace electrolytes if doing extended or multiple sessions.
