Rental rules & details

Safety: Limit yourself to a maximum of 15 minutes. Do not smoke, exercise, eat or drink beverages in the sauna room. Leave the sauna immediately if you experience any nausea, dizziness, hot flashes, cold chills, headaches or other discomfort. Drink plenty of fluids before and after leaving the sauna. Do not exceed the internal sauna temperature of 100 degrees. Do not consume any alcoholic beverages inside the sauna Rules of Thumb 1. Don’t Stay in Too Long 15 to 20 minutes at a time is generally considered the max, though other proponents say up to 30 minutes. The length of time the body can tolerate will vary from person to person. If you are sensitive to heat, start off with a short stay. 2. Cool Down There is a long Finnish tradition of going straight from the sauna into the snow but a gradual cool down is easier. For a less extreme way to cool your body down, take a cold or cool shower. Bonus: this also removes any impurities that your body has eliminated and prevents their reabsorption. 3. Rest Relax for at least ten minutes afterward. Let your body recuperate before doing the hot, cold, relaxation circuit again. Many bathhouses and nordic spas advise limiting the circuit to three times over a couple of hours. 4. Rehydrate Drink plenty of water before and after. You may want to eat something salty afterward if you’ve sweat a lot. 5. Consider the Buddy System Going into the sauna with a friend or family member isn’t a bad idea so that if problems do occur, someone has your back. Besides, a sauna is a social affair. 6. Consider Your Health The heat of a sauna makes the heart work harder. Reasons to avoid the sauna include heart problems, pregnancy, high or low blood pressure, etc. If you have any concerns, check with your doctor first. 7. Never Drink Alcohol in the Sauna Also, don’t go in right after a large meal or strenuous exercise. 8. Know that Saunas Can Burn Too much time in the sauna at a too high temperature can lead to blistering. If your skin starts to sting, get out. I’ve actually burned my nostrils in a sauna – just try blowing your nose after that. It’s not fun. 9. Monitor Your Body If you start to feel dizzy, nauseous or have a headache, leave immediately. There is no point in taxing the body to extremes – especially not in the name of wellness. Moderation is key.
