MEDICATIONS:

Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician or a pharmacist for possible changes in the drugs effect when the body is exposed to infrared waves or elevated body temperatures. Some medications including diuretics, barbiturates, and beta-blockers and others may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. Some over the counter drugs such as antihistamines may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.

CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONS:

Individuals with cardiovascular conditions or problems (hypertension/hypotension), congestive heart failure, impaired coronary circulation or those who are taking medications which might affect blood pressure should exercise extreme caution when exposed to prolonged heat. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in an effort to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment via the skin (perspiration) and respiratory systems. If using a pacemaker or defibrillator, please discuss risks involved with your physician.

By checking the box below, you confirm that you are aware of information above about Cardiovascular Conditions and consent to use the infrared sauna.

Alcohol:

Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgment; therefore, it might not be realized when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat in the infrared sauna.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
  1. Sauna sessions should be limited to no more than 30 minutes and temperatures must stay below 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. It is always important to maintain proper hydration levels during far infrared therapy. Dehydration will actually increase carbohydrate utilization and cause less fat to be burned for energy. We highly recommend drinking a minimum of 4 oz. of water prior to entering the sauna and a minimum of 8 oz. of water after sauna use. Water bottles are not permitted in the sauna.
  3. Please consult your physician if you are in an doubt regarding your ability to use the infrared sauna for health reasons.
In the rare event that you experience dizziness, pain and/or discomfort, immediately discontinue sauna use.
