In Finland, it\u2019s common to have a sauna at least once a week. People use saunas for relaxation and fun. Studies show that they also have health benefits, especially when the user spends at least 20 minutes in sauna bathing. However, there are certain groups of people or people with particular medical conditions for whom the recommended maximum length of time in the sauna may vary.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"1-1\" class=\"jumplink-headers\">What Are the Health Benefits of Sauna Bathing?<\/h2>\n<p>Regular use of dry saunas \u2014 both traditional and infrared saunas (which uses light instead of heat to warm your body without heating the air around you) \u2014 can improve your cardiovascular health, improve your breathing if you have allergic or respiratory disorders, lower your risk of stroke, help modulate your immune system, and help control high blood pressure, says Joy Hussain, MD,\u00a0clinical director of Health with Joy Pty Ltd, an integrative medical practice promoting wearables, wellness, and evidence-based thermotherapy in Brisbane, Australia.\u00a0Hussain also leads clinical and lab-based research on sauna bathing and its effects on health.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\u201cSaunas also provide opportunities to socialize, which hasn\u2019t been studied enough,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>Most research has been done in Finnish or traditional saunas.

A study done on nearly 700 people found that after a 30-minute dry sauna session, the participants lost about 1% of their water weight. It found that you could sweat more depending on several factors, including how long you are in the sauna, how much water you\u2019ve had, and more.<\/p>\n<p>In a small study, 45 men did four dry sauna sessions of 10 minutes each. Researchers measured their body mass before and after the saunas. They found that the men lost almost a pound and a half overall. But this weight loss may only be temporary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJockeys, wrestlers, boxers, and other weight-sensitive athletes have been using saunas to manipulate their weight for such purposes for decades,\u201d says Hussain. \u201cHowever, to my knowledge, there is no rigorous evidence linking long-term sauna use to long-term weight loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"1-3\" class=\"jumplink-headers\">How Long Should You Stay in a Sauna?<\/h2>\n<p>Most clinical studies focus on people who bathe in the sauna for 20 minutes or less. However, evidence recognized by the American College of Cardiology suggests that sauna bathing for longer than 19 minutes increases the protection against various heart issues by more than 50%.\u200c<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re just starting, ease into it by using the sauna for 5-10 minutes at a time.

Some have shown marked results, Hussain says, citing a study of men in Eastern Finland. \u201cIf sauna bathing is to improve general heart health (that is, to reduce risk of heart attacks, stroke, and life-threatening cardiac events), then sauna bathing at least three times weekly, preferably fouror more times weekly, is associated with dramatic reductions in all these types of cardiac events and in fact improved longevity,\u201d compared to those who reported sauna bathing only once a week, she says.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"1-6\" class=\"jumplink-headers\">Should I Use the Sauna Before or After a Workout?<\/h2>\n<p>It depends on the individual and their reasons to use the sauna. \u201cIf you\u2019re an athlete, then using the sauna after training makes sense, with plenty of evidence linking saunas to better muscle recovery in swimmers, cross-country skiers,\u201d and so on, Hussain says. \u201cIf you are using the sauna for stress reduction or pain relief, then each person will be different.\u201d She says she loves to hop into the sauna before and after swimming \u2014 before, so the cold water is not such a shock to the system, and after, for more relaxation.<\/p>\n<p>Research is currently being done into combining sauna bathing with showering and cold plunges, which fall under the category of \u201ccontrast bathing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"1-7\" class=\"jumplink-headers\">Do Saunas Have Any Risks or Dangers?<\/h2>\n<p>Research shows that responsible sauna use carries few risks.

But parents rarely let children go into the sauna unsupervised until they are older than 7. Before that, parents closely monitor their children before, during, and after bathing in the sauna. Very young children have a less developed internal temperature system and can be more prone to getting heatstroke than adults.
