1. Before using your sauna for the first
time, clean the inside of the sauna with a
damp cloth.
2. Place a clean towel on the floor & on
the bench to help absorb your sweat.
3. Scratches and perspiration stains on
the inside of the sauna can be removed
by simply using a fine grade sandpaper.
This action also renews the fresh cedar
smell.

1.Drink water before, during & after
sauna session.
2.Limit food intake an hour before your
sauna session. Take a light meal at least
an hour before.
3. Direct exposure of skin and the
infrared heat will optimize your sweat
effectiveness
4. Move & Stretch! Do some body
stretching during sauna session to
achieve body flexibility, range of motion
& reduce chronic stiffness.

saunausageguidelines
sweatspa™ Full Spectrum Infrared saunas operate with the same efficacy in
your home as in a medical facility. Like all professional equipment,
you may put yourself at risk if you do not fully understand how to use the
sauna.
Important Safeguards
A minimum 6-8 hours of sleep before the sauna therapy session.
Alcohol consumption is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
No empty stomach or just had a meal (at least 1 hour after meal).
Precautions
If any of the items listed below apply to you, please consult your physician /
doctor and our service advisor before using the infrared sauna.
o Saunas & Medications
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 waves or elevated body temperature.
Diuretics, barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat
loss mechanisms. Anticholinergics such as amitriptyline may inhibit sweating
and can predispose individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent, heat stroke.
Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the
body to be more prone to heat stroke.
o Saunas & 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.
o Saunas & The 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. When using with the elderly, operate at a
lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.
o Saunas & Cardiovascular Conditions
Individuals with cardiovascular conditions or problems (hypertension / hypo
tension), congestive heart failure, impaired coronary circulation or those who
are taking medications which might affect blood pressure should exercise
caution when exposed to prolonged heat. 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.
o Saunas & Joint Injury
If you have a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48
hours after an injury or until the swollen symptoms subside. If you have a joint
or joints that are chronically hot and swollen, these joints may respond poorly
to vigorous heating of any kind.

o Saunas & Alcohol / Alcohol 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.
o Saunas & 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.
o Saunas & Pacemakers / Defibrillators
In the rare event that you experience pain and/or discomfort, immediately
discontinue sauna use
o Saunas & Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone To Bleeding
The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to
bleeding.
o Saunas & Fever
An individual who has a fever should not use an infrared sauna until the fever
subsides.
o Saunas & Insensitivity to Heat
An individual with insensitivity to heat should not use an infrared sauna.
o Saunas & Pregnancy
Pregnant women should consult a physician before using an infrared sauna.
o Saunas & Menstruation
Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may
temporarily increase their menstrual flow.
o Saunas & 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 an infrared sauna.
