FAQs

How much time is enough in the sauna? ›

The longer you stay in the sauna, the more you risk dehydration, so a general rule is to cap your time to 15 to 20 minutes. The Finnish, who the word “sauna” comes from, may have an even simpler suggestion since the sauna is meant for relaxing, not ticking off minutes: Leave the sauna once you feel hot enough.

So, what is the best temperature for your traditional sauna? For your health and safety, the best temperature is between 140-200 degrees Fahrenheit. The average American sticks to 150-175 degrees, while diehard and longtime fans prefer higher temperatures.

Does Sitting in the Sauna Burn Fat? Yes, sitting in a sauna can help you burn through the fat- but it depends on which sauna you're using. A traditional wood-burning or wet sauna, such as a steam room helps your body burn through calories, but has been proven less effective when it comes to burning excess fat.

Studies show it is perfectly safe to use saunas every day, just being mindful to stay hydrated during your sessions. Though daily sauna use is not harmful, prolonged single sauna sessions can increase the risk of dehydration.

Contraindications to sauna bathing include unstable angina pectoris, recent myocardial infarction, and severe aortic stenosis. Sauna bathing is safe, however, for most people with coronary heart disease with stable angina pectoris or old myocardial infarction.

Medical research shows that sauna bathing may also aid in reducing risk associated with high blood pressure, stroke, and all-cause mortality and fatal cardiac incidents. In response to high temperatures, core body temperature rises - dilating skin and increasing cardiac output/circulation.

The temperature in Finnish saunas is 80 to 110 °C (176 to 230 °F), usually 80–90 °C (176–194 °F), and is kept clearly above the dewpoint despite the vaporization of löyly water, so that visible condensation of steam does not occur as in a Turkish sauna.

Among other benefits, regular sauna use can help relax muscles, improve blood flow, and bolster skin health. The recommended length of time to spend in a sauna is 15-20 minutes. First-timers should start with 5-10 minutes. People with certain health conditions should not use a sauna.

Limit time spent in a sauna: Do not spend more than 20 minutes at a time in a sauna. First-time users should spend a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes. As they get used to the heat, they can slowly increase the time to about 20 minutes.

For detoxification, sauna bathers should stay for at least 15 - 25 minutes, at 50 - 60ºC for any detoxification benefits. This amount of time spent in a sauna should be repeated a minimum of 3 times per week in order to gain momentum with your body's natural detoxification pathways.

How long should it take to sweat in a sauna? ›

As your body's temperature increases, eccrine glands are stimulated to release sweat, which produces a cooling effect. You may be wondering how long it takes to sweat in a sauna. Under normal circ*mstances, people usually start sweating after spending 15-20 minutes in a sauna.
