Using a traditional sauna regularly has plenty of advantages, including physical and mental health benefits.

Some of the key benefits of using a traditional sauna are:

• Improved circulation and cardiovascular health
• Muscle relaxation and faster post-exercise recovery
• Reduced stress levels and improved mood
• Enhanced skin health through increased sweating and detoxification
• Better sleep quality due to nervous system regulation
• Support for immune function by simulating a mild fever response

While some benefits of sauna use can be felt immediately, others will only develop with consistent sessions over time. What your goals are will determine how long you need to wait to see the benefits of your frequent sessions.

Benefits such as relaxation, reduced muscle tension, and boosted mood can be felt immediately, while better sleep and faster recovery may take a few sessions or multiple weeks. The biggest benefits, such as immune function support, less swelling, and chronic pain relief, may only be present after long-term use.

While regular sauna use can support weight loss efforts, it’s not a primary fat-burning solution and shouldn’t be used to replace regular exercise and a nutritious diet.

Traditional sauna sessions can increase your heart rate to mimic a light cardio workout, mildly boosting your calorie burn. It can also promote water weight loss, but this will often return when you rehydrate after your session. Some people find that traditional sauna usage can support muscle recovery and enable them to exercise more, indirectly aiding their weight loss journey.

In a traditional sauna, most people wear either minimal, breathable clothing or simply a towel, depending on the setting and wellness centre’s rules.

A towel or robe is often the most comfortable and hygienic choice, but if you’re not comfortable with this, a swimsuit is another ideal option. In private saunas, you might choose to go nude, but this is against most wellness centres’ policies.

The recommended session length for traditional saunas is between 10 and 20 minutes.

However, beginners may choose to start off slower with just five to 10-minute sessions, building up tolerance as they get used to the dry heat. It’s recommended not to exceed 20 minutes to avoid negative side effects such as dehydration and overheating setting in.

Yes, saunas can benefit your skin in several ways, including cleaning out your pores, supporting the production of collagen, and reducing stress.

Here’s how saunas can help clear your skin and reduce breakouts:

• Saunas can open pores and induce sweating, helping to flush out dirt, oil, and buildup from your face.
• Heat dilates your blood vessels, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to skin cells for a radiant glow and improved healing.
• The combination of heat and sweat speeds up your skin’s natural exfoliation process, and may stimulate collagen production for firmer skin.
• Regular sauna use lowers cortisol, which may help calm inflammatory skin conditions like acne or eczema.

It’s generally not advised to use a traditional sauna while you’re pregnant, especially while you’re in the first trimester.

Elevated body temperature may pose risks to you and your baby, especially during neural development in the early stages. However, your doctor will be able to assess your risk and determine whether you are a good candidate for sauna use while pregnant.

While many people believe a sauna can cure a hangover, the truth is it offers only temporary relief instead of a true cure. Some people might feel better initially after their session, but end up feeling worse later in the day.

A sauna session can ease muscle aches, loosen joint tension, and relax you. It can also improve your mood and circulation, making you feel better temporarily. However, a hangover often means you’re dehydrated, which can be exacerbated by sauna use and increase the risk of fainting or irregular heart rhythms.

Yes, there’s a clear difference between a traditional sauna and a steam room, primarily in the type of heat they use—saunas use dry heat, while steam rooms use wet heat.

Saunas deliver dry heat at high temperatures – typically around 65 – 100 °C – with low humidity (under 20%). This creates a dry, intense warming effect, which is excellent for circulation, muscle relaxation, and cardiovascular benefits.

Steam rooms, on the other hand, offer wet heat – with humidity levels approaching 100% and temperatures usually between 40 – 50 °C. The moist environment can hydrate skin, clear nasal passages, and soothe respiratory discomfort.

Yes, traditional saunas can aid muscle recovery after exercise. The dry heat promotes increased blood flow, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to fatigued muscles, reducing soreness and stiffness.

However, it’s essential that you use saunas cautiously. Overuse can lead to dehydration and may impair strength temporarily. For optimal recovery, limit sessions to 15 to 20 minutes, stay hydrated, and avoid immediate post-exercise sauna use if you haven’t had a chance to rehydrate yet.

We don’t recommend booking a traditional sauna session for at least 24 to 48 hours after a Botox appointment.

Heat exposure can increase your blood circulation, which may cause the Botox to migrate from its targeted muscles, reducing its effectiveness and increasing the risk of side effects, such as bruising or swelling.

No, we don’t recommend bringing your phone into a traditional sauna. The high temperature may interfere with the electronic components, and the humidity could increase the risk of moisture damage.
