9-Step Sauna Routine

Using a sauna isn’t just about sitting in the heat. Follow these steps to get the most out of your session:

1. Before You Begin

   • Wait at least an hour after eating before using a sauna, but don’t go in on an empty stomach.
   • Drink water or herbal tea (like chamomile or lime blossom) to stay hydrated.

2. Get Ready

   • Take a warm shower to prepare your body for the heat.
   • Dry off completely; you’ll start sweating faster if your skin is dry.

3. First Sauna Session (15 minutes)

   • Step into the sauna and relax in the dry heat (around 90–100°C).
   • Let your body adjust to the temperature and enjoy the calm atmosphere.

4. Cool Down (2 minutes)

   • Take a cool shower to close your pores and refresh yourself.

5. Rest (10 minutes)

   • Lie down on a lounger and let your body recover before the next round.

6. Second Sauna Session (15 minutes)

   • Head back into the sauna, but this time, pour some water over the hot stones to create steam.
   • Breathe deeply and let the humidity work its magic.

7. Cool Down Again (2 minutes)

   • Rinse off with another cool shower.

8. Final Rest (10 minutes)

   • Lie down, relax, and let your body fully absorb the benefits of the session.

9. Stay Hydrated

   • End your sauna time with a glass of water to rehydrate.
