Saunas offer a range of benefits for both the body and mind. They promote relaxation, relieve stress, and help to soothe tired muscles and joints. Saunas can also improve circulation, enhance cardiovascular health, and contribute to detoxification by inducing sweating. Some find that sauna sessions provide a sense of mental clarity, rejuvenation, and overall well-being. And many people have the best night of sleep they have had in months after a sauna session.
Expect to work up a healthy sweat while in the sauna. Hydrating with plenty of water ahead of time will help your body make the most of this cleansing experience.
In order to join us for a session, you cannot be under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.
While saunas are generally safe for most people, it is important to be aware of certain precautions. Individuals with underlying health conditions, such as cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, or pregnancy, should consult with a healthcare professional before using a sauna. It is also recommended to avoid alcohol consumption before or during a sauna session, as it can increase the risk of dehydration. Additionally, if you feel lightheaded, dizzy, or unwell during a sauna session, it is advisable to exit the sauna immediately.
Children have a lower tolerance for heat, and their bodies may be more sensitive to the high temperatures in a sauna. Anyone over the age of 16 may participate in sauna sessions at Superior Steam.
After a sauna session, it is important to gradually cool down your body. You can do this by taking a cool shower or immersing yourself in a cold plunge pool or a natural body of water, if available. It is essential to hydrate by drinking water to replenish fluids lost through sweating during the sauna session.
Remember, if you have any specific medical concerns or questions, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before using a sauna.
