Saunas and Insensitivity to Heat
An individual that has insensitivity to heat should not use any type of sauna.
Saunas and Pregnancy
Pregnant women should consult a physician before using any type of sauna
because fetal damage can occur with a certain elevated body temperature.
Saunas and Menstruation
Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may
temporarily increase a woman’s menstrual flow. Some women endure this
process to gain the pain relief commonly associated with their cycle whereas
others simply choose to avoid saunas use during this time of the month.
Saunas and Joint Injury
If you have a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48
hours after an injury or until the hot and swollen symptoms subside. If you have a
joint or joints that are chronically hot and swollen, these joints may respond
poorly to vigorous heating of any kind. Vigorous heating is strictly contra-
indicated in cases of enclosed infections be they dental, in joints or in any other
tissues.
Saunas and Implants
Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect far
infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system; nevertheless, you should
consult your surgeon prior to using an Infrared Sauna. Certainly, the usage of an
Infrared Sauna must be discontinued if you experience pain near any such
implants. Silicone does absorb far infrared energy. Implanted silicone or silicone
prostheses for nose or ear replacement may be warmed by the far infrared
waves. Since silicone melts at over 200°C (392°F), it should not be adversely
affected by the usage of Infrared saunas. It is still advised that you check with
your surgeon and possibly a representative from the implant manufacturer to be
certain.
In the rare event you experience pain and/or discomfort, immediately
discontinue to use the sauna.
