During the sauna session, in case of negative symptoms and exacerbation of the disease, treatment must be completed immediately.

After leaving a cabin, do not go immediately to the shower. The body is relaxed and unprotected. Pores are greatly enlarged, therefore, after using soap, shower gel or shampoo, into the deep layers of epidermis may get unnecessary chemicals that the sauna has just started to remove.

Let your body get used to the environment – to reduce temperature, narrow pores, actuate protective and regulatory mechanisms and return to normal operating mode. Calmly walk around, sit.

During infrared ray sauna session follow these rules:

• Air temperature in the infrared ray cabin should not exceed 50–53 degrees Celsius.
• Hot shower before sauna increases the amount of released sweat.
• In order to reach the optimal results, do not go to the sauna immediately after eating.
• It is important to maintain the water balance. Drink water before, during and after the session.
• Do not use body lotion before the sauna session.
• Use at least 2 towels: one lay down on the bench, with another wipe the sweat from Your body – remember that water badly passes infrared rays.
• At the first signs of a cold or flu, lengthening duration of the session, it is possible to increase an activity of immune system.
• Gradually being inured to infrared ray sauna, it is possible to prolong the session up to 45 minutes or even more.
