Q: How often can I use Infrared Sauna
A: There is no one answer for the amount of sessions per week, but a safe guideline should be based on your health and hydration. If you are new to saunas, then 15-20 minutes until you are comfortable. As your fitness level improves, then your session can go up to 45 minutes/day, 3-4 times a week.
Q: Besides water can I drink anything after a sauna?
A: Before and after using a sauna it is important to drink at least 400 ml of water and as much as 2 liters , to avoid dehydration. Sipping water allows your body to more effectively absorb the water your drink rather than gulping.
For safety and health, do NOT drink alcohol before, during, or after sauna use. Don't use recreational drugs before, during, or after sauna use. Do NOT eat a large meal prior to using a sauna.
