Two Different Heating Experiences
A traditional sauna warms the room air, which then warms your body. An infrared sauna uses radiant heat and often operates with a lower air temperature. The exact temperature and feel depend on the equipment and settings.
Neither style is automatically better. The better choice is the setting you tolerate comfortably and enjoy enough to use as part of your routine.
What Sweating Does and Does Not Mean
Sweating is one of the body's ways of managing heat. A heavier sweat is not proof that a session removed heavy metals, BPA, or other toxins. Sauna time should not be marketed as a detox treatment or as a substitute for exercise or medical care.
Why People Book Sauna Time
People often choose a sauna for quiet time, warmth, and a low distraction place to decompress. Some include it in a post workout routine. The way a session feels and the result a guest notices will vary.
Your First Session
- Start with a shorter, gentler session while you learn how you respond to heat.
- Drink water before and after your visit.
- Leave the sauna if you feel dizzy, faint, nauseated, confused, or otherwise unwell.
- Follow the studio's instructions for temperature, timing, and cooling down.
If you have a health condition, are pregnant, have difficulty tolerating heat, or are unsure whether sauna use is appropriate for you, ask a qualified health care professional before booking.
