SAUNA PROTOCOL
Follow this quick guide for the optimal sauna experience.
PRE SAUNA SESSION

in core temperature.
• Pre-heat for approx. 30 minutes. Depending on room temperature, your
sauna will heat up a degree per minute.
• Use Bamboo Carbon Towels to absorb sweat during sessions.
SAUNA SESSIONS
• Begin your session when your sauna reaches 100°F.
• The optimal sauna experience occurs between 100° and 130°F.
• To get your body accustomed to infrared therapy, start with 10-15
minute sessions at 100°F every other day.
• Gradually increase towards 40 minute daily sessions in the optimal
temperature range.*
• Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the first few sessions.
Sweating will increase with regular use, removing toxins and leaving you
feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
• For added intensity, use Pure Sweat amplifying cream to increase
sweating, circulation and to boost results. Post Sauna Session
