Undress to as little as possible. Naked is best as you will sweat a lot. Bathers or underwear is fine if you prefer.
If you are coming from a massage, wipe off any excess oil from your massage using the blue towel provided.
Drink 1 glass of water before you enter the sauna and drink frequently throughout your time in the sauna. (take a large glass into the sauna with you or a water bottle if you have one)
Drink water only and no food is allowed in the sauna.
Please keep noise to a minimum as we have massages treatments I progress in the next room.
If you wish to turn down the heat, use the minus (-) button on the control panel. Do not turn the heat above 60 degrees
If you need to use the bathroom, you may use the robe provided. Please ensure your feet are dry or put on your shoes or the slippers provided to go downstairs.
Do not stay in the sauna more than 45 minutes.
The sauna will “beep” when your 35- or 45-minutes’ time is up.
Turn the sauna off (red button), open the door while still seated to let some cool air in, then get up slowly when you are ready.
Use the white towel provided to dry off. We don’t have shower facilities at this clinic.
If you feel unwell, dizzy or lightheaded please leave the sauna immediately (and slowly)

If you have any questions, please refer to your health care practitioner before booking your session. The decision as to whether far infrared sauna sessions are for you is up to you and if deemed necessary, your primary health care provider. We are not able to provide medical advice.

In particular, if any of the below apply to you, consult your physician prior to sauna use:

• Cardiovascular Issues, Obesity or Diabetes – Individuals suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory problems or diabetes should consult a physician prior to use. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in an effort to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment via the skin (perspiration) and respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential to increase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature.
  
  
• Medications – Individuals who are using Warfarin or other blood thinning drugs should not use the sauna.
Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician or a pharmacist for possible changes in the drugs effect when the body is exposed to infrared energy. Diuretics, barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. Some over the counter drugs such as antihistamines may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.
  
  
• Alcohol & Drug Abuse – Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgment; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress. The use of alcohol, drugs or medications prior to a sauna session may lead to unconsciousness.
  
  
• Elderly – The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core body temperature. If elderly, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.
  
  
• Children – The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. When using with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.
  
  
• Chronic Conditions / Diseases Associated With Reduced Ability To Sweat Or Perspire – Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating. Consult a physician.
  
  
• Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone To Bleeding – The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding.
  
  
• Fever & Insensitivity to Heat – Individuals with insensitivity to heat or who have a fever should not use the sauna until the fever subsides.
  
  
• Pregnancy – Infrared saunas are not recommended during pregnancy.
  
  
• Menstruation – Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase menstrual flow. This should not preclude sauna use.
  
  
• Joint Injury – Recent (acute) joint injury should not be heated for the first 48 hours or until the swollen symptoms subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.
  
  
• Implants – Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior to using.
  
  
• Pacemakers / Defibrillators – The magnets used to assemble our saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doctor the possible risks this may cause.

 
In the rare event that you experience pain or discomfort, immediately discontinue sauna use.
