exposure to infrareds outside of overheating.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN INSIDE – You will feel the heat being generated by the infrared emitters immediately. The wavelength of this heat will allow the rays to penetrate your skin and heat your body beneath the surface. This will excite the water molecules stored in the layer of fat just beneath your skin, and cause you to start to sweat. Most people tend to sweat after about 20 minutes, although this time period shortens with frequent sauna use. This sweat also allows the body to detoxify itself as the toxins it has eliminated from your blood stream and stored in your fat layer can now be brought to the surface of the skin with the sweat. The direct heat will also cause your blood vessels to dilate (increasing your circulation) and will increase your breathing and heart rate. Your body will also burn calories as it produces sweat. It is recommended that you drink water before, during and after your sauna to make sure you do not become dehydrated.
Be careful with what you take inside of your sauna with you. Some metals absorb the infrared rays and can become extremely hot during a sauna session.
AFTER THE SAUNA – It is recommended that you towel off after your sauna session. It is NOT recommended that you take a shower immediately after as the pores in your skin will be open and could potentially absorb anything in your water; but if you do shower, do not use soap – just rinse off.
CARE FOR YOUR SAUNA – Your sauna does not require a lot of care. If desired, you can wipe it down with water and a clean cloth. Do not use oils or cleaning chemicals, as these items will then be released next time you are in your sauna and could potentially cause you health issues.
