For your first handful of sauna sessions, we recommend you start slow by using a lower temperature of around 100-120 degrees and potentially limiting time in the sauna to 20-30 minutes Hydrate! You sweat a lot in the sauna! Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after your sauna. We recommend at least 1 liter. Listen to your body. If you begin to feel symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, or dizziness during your sauna session, please exit the sauna immediately. Do not plan anything immediately after your sauna session. Give yourself time to go home and shower, rest, and see how you feel after a sauna session.

Please bring your own towels! We recommend one full size towel, one hand towel, and if you'd like, bring an extra towel for the sauna seat. Bring water! We recommend drinking 1 liter minimum (at least 16 oz before you arrive and 16 oz during/after). We have mountain spring water and tea available for you to use as well. Mineral water, coconut water, or electrolyte supplements are great ways to make sure you’re getting hydrated! Bring sauna wear! We recommend a swimsuit or clothing that can absorb sweat, a robe works great.

Yes, most people can! We would recommend getting acupuncture first and then sauna after your treatment - this allows you to go home and shower after getting all sweaty. Make sure you tell your acupuncturist when you need to be up from your treatment so you can be on time for your sauna session.
