A sauna is a heated room or cabin designed for dry or wet heat sessions. Traditional Finnish saunas use dry heat from a wood or electric stove (typically 70-100C). Steam saunas (steam rooms) use moist heat. Both promote sweating, relaxation, muscle recovery, and cardiovascular benefits.

Many people enjoy saunas on a daily basis, but if you’re healthy and new to them, try 1-3 sessions per week. You can increase the number of appointments once your body is used to them. If you have cardiovascular disease or low blood pressure, you should consult your doctor before using a sauna.

Beginners should start with 5-10 minutes per session. Experienced users typically stay 15-20 minutes before cooling down. It is important to stay hydrated and listen to your body. Multiple shorter rounds with cooling breaks are common in traditional Finnish sauna culture.
