PRECAUTIONS

To avoid negative health effects or complications, the following precautions are advised:

Avoid sauna use if ill:

Please wait until you are fully recovered before using sauna. Those with certain medical conditions, such as low blood pressure, should ask their doctor before sauna use. Sauna is not a treatment for illness. If you have symptoms of cold, flu, COVID, bacterial or viral infection, fever or chills, sauna is not appropriate. We are acting with extra caution during COVID and flu season. Please consider the health + safety of our greater community when deciding to visit.

Pregnancy:

Sauna is not recommended for women who are pregnant.

Moon Cycle:

There are no medical reasons to avoid sauna during your cycle. It is more a consideration of personal hygiene and flow. Some women find sauna helps alleviate symptoms while other choose to wait until their cycle is over.

Avoid alcohol:

Alcohol increases the risk of dehydration, hypotension, arrhythmia, and potential sudden illness.

Limit time in sauna:

Do not spend more than 20 minutes at a time in the sauna. First-time users should spend a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes. As you get used to the heat, you can slowly increase the time to 15-20 minutes.

Stay hydrated:

It is important to replace the fluids lost from sweating. You should drink about 2-4 glasses of water after using sauna.

Minors: Must be 18 years old.
