A dry sauna is a traditional Finnish-style sauna that uses hot stones or an electric stove to heat a small room to temperatures high enough to make you sweat.

Using a sauna can initiate changes in your body that amplify the effects of working out, and aid in recovery so you can perform at your best.

To maximize the benefits of your home sauna experience, it's important to create a serene environment that promotes relaxation and peace of mind.

Saunas offer benefits like deep cleansing, improved circulation, stress reduction, and enhanced hydration, but shouldn’t be relied on as a sole solution for skin concerns.

The best place to put a sauna is somewhere inside or outdoors, that is quiet, private, and well-ventilated, with access to electricity.

A wood burning sauna stove and a regular stove are not the same thing. Sauna stoves are specifically designed to withstand high humidity and temperatures.

Unlike a traditional sauna where you can pour water over the rocks on the heater to make steam, you cannot add steam to an infrared sauna.

An infrared sauna uses about as much electricity as a dishwasher, and a traditional sauna with an electric heater is comparable to running a dryer.

There are many different types of saunas, but most are heated to temperatures between 150°F and 195°F (65°C to 90°C).

12-20 minutes is a general rule, but it's important to be conscious of your body while sitting in a sauna and get out if you feel discomfort.
