How to use infrared sauna
An infrared sauna doesn’t have strict usage guidelines. A sauna session has a few simple steps that you can adjust to your need. There is a lot of space for experimenting to find out which way of taking a sauna is best for you.
Step 1: Preparing to take an infrared sauna.
Begin with turning on your sauna and setting the temperature you like. The most common temperature is 110-120 F, but experiment to find your unique comfortable temperature. Even more, you can find it pleasant to set temperature higher or lower at times - it can depend on your condition at the moment, on a season, on outside/inside temperature.
Now you have some time (10-20 minutes) while the sauna is warming up. One option to use this time is to take a warm/hot shower or a bath. It is reported that it can improve your sweating. Don’t forget to wipe water from your body before going to infrared sauna, because the wood of your sauna can get dark or warped after water. Some people do some physical exercises before sauna as it can shorten time it takes to begin perspire.
Think about what you plan to do while taking a sauna. Maybe now is a time to get a book from a bookshelf or print an article or to do some breathing exercises to become more relaxed and calm or to insert a CD in a player. Make a fresh juice or fill a glass of mineral water to enjoy it in a sauna.
While taking a sauna you’ll probably need some tools. One or two towels are recommended to wipe sweat as it will appear on your body. An aroma candle is another good idea.
In another words I recommend to spend time while your infrared sauna is heating in some activity that takes you away from everyday routine and concentrates you on a nearing sauna session and makes you more peaceful and relaxed. I believe that enjoying your sauna not only pleasant but can significantly increase overall healing effect.
Step 2: Taking an infrared sauna.
When the sauna is ready enter it and take a comfortable position. Don’t forget to set a timer. For first times reduce the duration of a session to 20 minutes, and gradually increase it in later sessions.
You can do a great amount of things while taking a sauna. You can just sit and enjoy the sensation how infrared rays heat you, how you begin to sweat, how your whole body becomes warm. You can meditate observing how you breathe in and out or do some different form of meditation. You can gently massage parts of your body (or let someone else massage them) to move the tissues to enhance the effect of sweating. Listening to music or watching a DVD player (some sophisticated infrared saunas can have a display and a DVD player installed) are additional options. As an infrared sauna has lower temperature and doesn’t involve steam and water as conventional saunas do, it has much broader range of possible activities. However the temperature in an infrared sauna is still high and it can be hard to concentrate in such environment, so I don’t recommend performing any intellectual tasks.
Try taking a sauna with lights off, maybe you will like this experience. If you feel it’s too hot, ventilate sauna cabin by ventilation window (many saunas has one) or simply by opening a door for a short time. Don’t forget to wipe sweat from your body from time to time as it will lead to more intense sweating.
An infrared sauna can cause hyperthermia and should be used with care. As a general rule, if at some moment you will stop sweating or feel bad and uncomfortable, go out of the sauna immediately. Never use a sauna after alcohol intake and don’t drink alcohol while taking a sauna. If you have a fever or just feel bad it is better not to take a sauna. Don’t force yourself into taking a sauna. It should be pleasant activity. It is strongly not recommended to sleep in sauna.
How much clothes should be on you when you go into sauna? No clothes are best, but bathing suit or shorts and a t-shirt are ok. Cloth blocks infrared rays and does not allow them to reach your body.
How often you should take sauna sessions? Start with once or twice per week. Most people are fine with this schedule. Then you can try to adjust frequency as you will feel appropriate.
Step 3: After the sauna.
It is very important not to rush in hurry right after the sauna. I recommend scheduling your time in such way that you will have at least 15 minutes of free time after the sauna. First and most important rule is to allow your body to cool down a little. Immediate switching to cold environment can be a shock.
Then take a shower of bath to wash away sweat. Try not to use soap or gel. Your pores are open after sweating and chemicals can easy clog them and penetrate into your body.
Your sauna which gave you such a wonderful sauna session deserves some attention too. Turn it off and unplug from an outlet, and then wipe with soft cloth any sweat or water that could left on it. It will make your sauna to stay new and serve you longer.

More recommendations on taking infrared sauna
In addition to the overview of sauna taking I want to repeat and summarize some simple wisdoms which can help you to increase your benefit and enjoyment from a sauna.
As sauna induces sweating it is common to drink a glass of water before going into a sauna. You can drink a mineralized water or juice. Some people prefer water with a slice of lemon. A cup of hot tea may also be considered - it can even make you sweat faster. It is not necessary to drink water before sauna, you can have while in sauna of after as well. This will prevent your body from dehydration.
Do not take a meal approximately for two hours before sauna session. Not following this rule may worsen your sauna experience and lead to lesser sweat, as digesting is a very energy-consuming process and it can conflict with effects of heating.
Pay attention to your body condition while taking a sauna. Check your pulse and if it is too high cease a sauna session. Stop taking a sauna if you stop sweating or do not feel well.
It is better to take off all metal jewelry before going into the sauna. It is explained with probability of metal items to become very hot. While for conventional saunas it can be the case, but for infrared saunas I have a doubt. As far as I know metal reflects infrared rays and they should not heat. But it is better to follow this recommendation to eliminate a possible risk. It is not so hard to do anyway.

How to install infrared sauna
So your infrared sauna has arrived. You can’t wait to try it. Cool down. Don’t push it. There are some steps left before you can enjoy your brand new infrared sauna.
Begin with checking that your packages contain. Find an instruction manual or some other piece of paper with all of the parts listed. Identify all of them, check for defects.
Your next goal is to become familiar with assembly process. It is very important to show some patience and to read sauna manual to understand how you will bring it all together. If you won’t be confident with assembly steps you can make a mistake that will cost you time to disassemble and assemble the sauna again. Even worse, you can break or scratch something.
If you’re not decided where to place your sauna yet, take a look at finding a place for a sauna post. If you’re owner of a classic infrared sauna cabin then look at the power cord and plug provided with the sauna. Make sure that it has expected type and fits your outlet. If you don’t have an outlet preinstalled it can be a right time to install it. You can read more about in my outlet installation post.
When you know where your sauna will be standing, have a power outlet for it and understand all assembly steps then it is time to begin to put it’s all together. No need to hurry, make each step with confidence and knowledge. If you’re not sure consult with manual. Remember that it is the first time when you assemble this sauna model and there is nothing wrong with doing it slow. Ok I know I’m overemphasizing, but be careful anyway.
After that make the final touch and clean your sauna with damp cloth both inside and outside. The last step is to check that it works. Return to the instruction manual and read about controls. Then plug the cord in the outlet and turn on the sauna. Check that all lights and control panel work properly. If your sauna has an audio or a video system you need to check its functions too. Set the timer of your sauna for a typical session or slightly more (30-40 minutes) and wait. Don’t go in as in case of malfunction you can harm your health. Check that in process and after there are no suspicious smells or smoke, that all heaters work (don’t touch them, just place your arm before the heater and you should feel heat if it works). I recommend leaving your sauna open for a couple of days to let all manufactory smells to flow out.
You’re done. I summarized all that I wrote in a short checklist you can scan if you’ll want to recall something:
