Risks

There are risks associated with using a sauna. Always consult a physician before use if you have:

  • High blood pressure or heart problems. Saunas make your heart work harder than normal.

  • Known medical conditions. Some of these include high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, abnormal heart rhythm, angina and other conditions.

  • Just finished exercising. After strenuous exercise, let your heart rate come down to resting levels first.

  • Recently consumed alcohol or recreational drugs. Using the sauna afterwards could affect your heart, impair sweating and produce overheating.

  • Take certain medications. Don’t use a sauna if you take medications that interfere with your body’s ability to regulate temperature or make you drowsy.

  • Are pregnant. According to whattoexpect, sauna use during pregnancy could lead to dizziness, dehydration or lower blood pressure.

​

Safety tips for sauna 

If you're able to use the sauna, keep these safety tips in mind:

  • Keep sessions short. You can build up your tolerance for the heat over multiple visits.

  • Limit sessions to 15 to 30 minutes. 

  • Monitor how you feel. If you are sensitive to the heat, feel dizzy, nauseous or begin to feel uncomfortable, leave the sauna immediately.

  • Stay hydrated. Always hydrate beforehand, and drink two to four glasses of cool water after each session. Drink mineral water or juice to replace electrolytes lost through sweating.

  • Use the buddy system. Bring a friend or family member with you in case problems do occur.

  • Remove jewelry. Metal jewelry, including rings and small earrings, can heat up very quickly and cause skin irritation or burning.

  • Protect your hair. Sauna heat can leave your hair shafts dry and brittle. A towel or shower cap can help protect it.

  • Dress appropriately. Wearing loose fitting clothes, a swimsuit or a towel is good since heavy clothing can lead to overheating.

  • Rest and cool off afterwards. Lie or sit down for at least 10 minutes, then take a cold shower to help bring your body temperature to normal levels.
