FAQ

Infrared Sauna Questions

What do I wear?
To enable infrared to penetrate tissues as deep as possible, we recommend wearing as little as possible. A cotton towel, gym shorts or swimsuit are perfect options.


How often should I use the sauna?
One session will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. But similar to exercise, the more you do it, the better the results. Recommended use is 3-4 times per week for 30-40 minutes.

 

How Long is a typical sauna session?

Depending on the purpose of your sauna use, a session lasts between 30-40 minutes.


When will I start sweating?
Sweat levels are different for everyone. Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use. Even if your body is not drenched in sweat, your body is still detoxifying from harmful toxins. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water before your session. If you are dehydrated, you will not sweat as much.


Do I need a doctor’s note?
No. If you have health concerns, we recommend speaking with your doctor before your sauna session.


Is the infrared coming from lights?
No. Infrared heaters are located on the floor, front, back, and side wall panels. The chromotherapy lights are not infrared.


Can I take my cell phone into the sauna?
Just as you would not leave your cell phone in your car on a hot day, we do not recommend taking cells phones, Apple watches, or other electronics in the sauna. The electronics that are built into the sauna are designed for a heated environment.


Is it ok to use the sauna while breastfeeding?
Please consult with your physician, as this answer is usually yes, but may be no depending upon your specific circumstances.


Can I use the sauna while pregnant?
Even though infrared is completely safe, it is not recommended to use while pregnant. While pregnant, the core body temperature is already elevated, and you could overheat.

Salt Booth Questions

What do I wear?

Loose, comfortable, light-colored clothing that you can relax in works best. If you are using dry salt therapy for a skin condition, you’ll want to have that area exposed. Socks are required during the session.

How often should I use the sauna?

Based on your condition and symptoms, this can vary. For best results, the Salt Therapy Association recommends a series of treatments. Some individuals prefer to use dry salt therapy as a continuous preventative measure.

How long is a typical salt booth session?

Due to the higher concentration of salt particles per area that a salt booth offers, a session lasts 10 minutes.

Are there any side effects of dry salt therapy?

There are no potentially harmful side effects of dry salt therapy. The treatment is completely natural. A slight cough or a runny nose is possible, but this is simply the salt working to remove mucus and toxins from the lungs and airways.

Do I need a doctor’s note? 

No. If you have health concerns, we recommend speaking with your doctor before your sauna session.

Will a salt session raise my blood pressure?

No. The salt is entering the respiratory system not the digestive system. Therefore, it will not affect high blood pressure.

Can I take my cell phone into the sauna?

No. It is not recommended to take your phone into the sauna as salt can be corrosive.

Is it ok to use the sauna while breastfeeding?Please consult with your physician prior to using the salt booth.

Can I use the sauna while pregnant?

It is generally considered safe after the first trimester, but please consult with your physician prior to using the salt booth.
