Welcome to the world of infrared sauna therapy! This guide walks you through the essentials for a safe and enjoyable first session at Floatwell’s infrared sauna.
Duration and Temperature
When starting infrared sauna therapy, ease into the experience gradually. The facility recommends limiting your initial session to no more than 30 minutes, with the temperature kept below 65 degrees Celsius. This approach allows your body to acclimate to the heat comfortably and safely.

Hydration
Proper hydration is crucial during far infrared therapy. Drink at least 100ml of water before entering the sauna. After your session, replenish your body with a minimum of 200ml of water. While water bottles aren’t permitted inside the sauna for safety reasons, the facility provides ample water for hydration throughout your visit.
Consultation
If you have underlying health concerns or uncertainty about using the far infrared sauna, consult your general practitioner. Your GP can provide personalized guidance tailored to your specific health needs and ensure the therapy aligns with your overall well-being.
