Limit fragrances
Perfume and essential oils are great, but can be amplified by the sauna. Please limit strong fragrances .
For your health and safety, pregnant individuals and anyone with pre-existing medical conditions should avoid using the sauna
High temperatures can cause significant physical stress, lower blood pressure, and increase your heart rate. While these conditions are desired for typical sauna use, these changes can pose serious risks during pregnancy or complicate existing health issues. We strongly advise consulting your healthcare provider before participating in any heat therapy if you have, or suspect you have, any complicating factors.
