What is the Best Time to Use?

A Far-Infrared Sauna is perfect as a "heat therapy room" for athletes looking for a pre-workout warm-up to warm up muscles and increase flexibility, helping to prevent injury. It's also ideal for pre-warm-up for physical therapy and massage therapy, or for a relaxing, wind-down at the end of a stress-filled day. People having difficulty sleeping often enjoy a short session 30 minutes before bedtime to help achieve a deeper restorative sleep. A growing number of those dealing with seasonal affective disorder (“cabin fever”) use their therapy rooms twice daily for positive energy renewal during the winter season.

A few must-know tips when using an infrared sauna:

Ensure that you are adequately hydrated prior to using the sauna. This means that you should drink plenty of water. Your infrared sauna will assist in weight loss, but it's not a good idea to replenish the lost calories with high-calorie drinks.
Most people allow their sauna ten to fifteen minutes to reach the desired temperature when they turn it on. You can start using the room during the time when it is heating up. This allows your body to get used to the increased temperature.
You can open the front door a bit or open the ceiling vent (if your sauna has one) to allow fresh air to enter. You will continue to enjoy the infrared sauna benefits even while fresh air is circulating through your sauna.
Place towels on the bench seat and under your feet to absorb perspiration and maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the unit.
Limit the use of lotions or oils prior to using the sauna, as these products block pores and limit perspiration.
