Stay Hydrated

Dehydration is a significant risk during sauna use due to excessive sweating. To prevent dehydration:

• Drink water: Before entering, have at least one glass of water. Keep hydrating during your session if possible, and drink several glasses of water afterward.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine: These can increase dehydration risk.

Monitor Time Spent

Overheating can occur with prolonged sauna use. To avoid this:

• Limit sessions: Keep sauna sessions to 15-20 minutes.
• Cool down: After exiting, sit or lie down in a cooler environment for at least 10 minutes.

Recognize Your Limits

Individual tolerance to heat varies. To ensure safety:

• Listen to your body: Exit the sauna if you begin to feel dizzy, lightheaded, or uncomfortable.
• Rest if unwell: If you feel ill after sauna use, rest and continue to hydrate. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Use Proper Ventilation

Adequate ventilation in a sauna ensures fresh air supply and helps control temperature and humidity, reducing the risk of overheating and discomfort.

Health Precautions

Certain health conditions may increase the risk of negative effects from sauna use.

• Consult healthcare providers: Especially if you have cardiovascular issues, are pregnant, or have any other health concerns.
• Adjust as needed: Those with health issues should adjust the duration and frequency of sauna sessions based on their condition and doctor's advice.
