Recommendation for Use
1. To regulate the temperature inside the sauna during your session, use the roof vent or the door (by setting
it at an angle).
2. If you need more cooling, simply leave the door open until the air around you feel comfortable.
3. Drink plenty of fluids prior to, during, and after your sauna session.
4. If you take a hot /warm shower or bath before your sauna session, you may perspire more. Try it with and
without bathing or showering first to determine which way you prefer.
5. To utilize the sauna’s heat therapy effect, give your hair a hot oil treatment while in the sauna. Put oil or
treatment into your hair and wrap it with towel. After the session is over, rinse your hair thoroughly.
6. Use at least 2-3 towels; sit on one towel folded over several times for added cushioning. Put another towel
on the floor to absorb excess sweat. A third towel draped over the knees may aid you in comfort and
useful to towel off the sweat.
7. Be sure to towel off excess sweat during your session to help the body perspire more freely.
8. To help relieve sore and tense muscles, massage the affected areas while in sauna to help heal faster.
9. Do not put any lotions or oils on the body or face when using the sauna. This may block the pores.
10. Shaving your face or legs with a razor while profusely sweating in a sauna yields an incredibly smooth
result without the use of gels or foams.
11. Do not eat anything at least an hour before your sauna session. It is better to go in the sauna on an empty
stomach. You are more likely to feel uncomfortable sitting in a sauna with a full stomach.
12. To make the most out of your sauna session, work your muscles while in the sauna. Stretch your arms
and legs; massage your neck and feet, etc.
13. You can benefit from the relaxing and soothing effects of a regular sauna session by going to sleep
afterwards. The peaceful and relaxed state rendered by a sauna session will help you sleep easier and
better.
14. At the first sign of cold or flu, increasing your sauna sessions may be beneficial in boosting your
immune treatment and decreasing the reproductive rate of the viruses. Consult your physician for the
proper treatment and care for this or any other conditions.
15. To treat your ankles and feet more effectively, elevate them while inside the sauna. Any area that you
wish to achieve a specific deep heating effect should be moved as close to one of the heaters as feels
comfortable.
16. After the session is over, do not immediately jump into the shower. Since your body was heated up
during the session, if will continue to sweat even after the heaters are off. Sit in the sauna with the door
open and allow the body to sweat a little more as it cools off. Once you feel comfortable enough, take a
warm (or cool) shower to rinse the sweat off your body completely.
