Tips & Tricks for Using the Suana
Start Slow
- Limit your time: For your first sessions, aim for around 5-10 minutes to allow your body to adjust.
- Temperature: Start with a lower temperature (around 150°F or 65°C) if possible. You can gradually increase this as you become more comfortable.
2. Stay Hydrated
- Pre-hydrate: Drink water before entering the sauna to prevent dehydration.
- Post-hydrate: After the sauna session, replenish your fluids to restore what you lost through sweat.
3. Listen to Your Body
- Take breaks: If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or uncomfortable, step out of the sauna immediately.
- Cool down: Give yourself time to cool down after your session, either by taking a cold shower or relaxing in a cooler area.
4. Shower Before and After
- Before: Take a quick shower before entering the sauna to remove any lotions or oils from your skin.
- After: Shower after your session to cleanse the sweat off your body.
5. Avoid Heavy Meals
- Don’t eat a large meal right before entering the sauna. A light snack is fine, but avoid anything that could make you feel bloated or sluggish.
6. Proper Clothing
- Naked or towels: Depending on the sauna etiquette and rules of the location, you may be naked or wear a towel. If you are using a public sauna, check their policy.
- Avoid jewelry: Remove any metal jewelry as it can heat up and cause burns.
7. Sauna Etiquette
- Respect others: Keep noise levels low if in a shared sauna. Avoid bringing electronics, as the heat can damage them, and they can disturb others.
- Cleanliness: Always sit on a towel and clean up any sweat to maintain hygiene.
8. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine
- Alcohol and caffeine can dehydrate you further, so it's best to avoid them before or after sauna sessions.
9. Breathing Technique
- Breathe deeply: In the dry heat of a sauna, deep, steady breathing can help you relax and adjust more comfortably to the environment.
10. Cool Down Gradually
- After the sauna, cool down slowly with a cold shower or by sitting in a cooler area. This helps prevent shock to your body from the temperature change.
