Recommendations for Use
1. To regulate the temperature inside the sauna during your session, use the roof vent or open the
door to circulate the fresh air.
2. If you are still too warm, 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 be useful to wipe 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 the sauna.
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, it will continue to sweat even after the heaters are off. Sit in the sauna
with the door open and allow your body to cool off. When you feel comfortable enough, take a
warm (or cool) shower to rinse the sweat off your body.
17. DO NOT attempt any repair without consulting the manufacturer first. Unauthorized repair
attempts will void manufacturer’s warranty.
18. All natural wood has variations in the color, grain, and irregularities such as knots, and fine
cracks. These characteristics are a part of the natural beauty of the wood, and in no way should
be considered defective.
