What are the health benefits of using a sauna?

Regular sauna use may help improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, support recovery, promote relaxation, aid cardiovascular health, and improve sleep quality. Studies show sauna use can mimic moderate exercise by temporarily increasing heart rate and improving blood flow.Reference: Mayo Clinic Proceedings (2018)

What is the average operating temperature of a sauna?

Traditional Finnish saunas typically operate between 70°C–90°C (158°F–194°F) depending on personal preference. Adding water to the heated rocks creates steam (löyly) and intensifies the heat sensation.Reference: Finnish Sauna Society & Harvia Guidelines

How long should I stay in a sauna?

Most people enjoy 10-30 minutes per session. You can take breaks between rounds. Always listen to your body and stay hydrated.

How much does it cost to run a sauna?

Can a sauna help with recovery after exercise?

How much space do I need for a sauna?

Small indoor saunas can fit in as little as 4' x 4'. A popular size is 5' x 7'. Outdoor models range from compact 6' barrels to larger cube-style saunas. As a guideline, allow 2 ft of bench space per person.

How long does it take to heat up a sauna?

Electric saunas typically heat up in 40–60 minutes depending on size, heater power, and temperature conditions. Wood burning heaters usually take 90+ minutes.

What should I wear in the sauna?

In North America and most gyms, a swimsuit is common. In Europe, a towel wrap is preferred for comfort and hygiene.
