Consult your doctor
Before you start a sauna, always consult your doctor. Your doctor can assess your safety and prescribe an appropriate plan based on your health.

Take it step by step
Start with short sitting sessions—like five to ten minutes—and gradually increase the time as you get used to the sauna's temperature. Pay attention to how you feel, and stop if you feel uncomfortable.

Stay hydrated
Drink water before entering the portable steam sauna

, sip after you sweat, and rehydrate after you leave. Because older people lose fluids more quickly, staying hydrated will help you enjoy your sauna and avoid dehydration headaches.
