The golden rule is to always listen to your body. As a general guideline, a great starting point for beginners is a session of 10-15 minutes. More experienced users often enjoy sessions of 15-20 minutes. If you ever feel dizzy or unwell, you should end your session immediately. It is essential to consult with your healthcare provider to determine a safe duration for your individual health circumstances.

The potential benefits of a traditional sauna are associated with its high, enveloping heat. Many users report a profound sense of relaxation and stress relief. The heat may also help soothe sore muscles and stiff joints. Furthermore, some studies suggest that the increased heart rate and circulation can be beneficial for cardiovascular health. This information is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

This is all about personal preference! The art of creating *löyly* is a key part of the experience. Start with just one ladle of water poured slowly over the hot stones and see how it feels. Wait a minute or two before adding more. The goal is a soft, pleasant wave of humidity. Be careful not to use too much water at once; the water should fully vaporize on the stones. If excess water runs down onto the heater coils, it could potentially damage the unit.

It's surprisingly easy! The most important step is to always sit on a towel to keep the wooden benches clean. After your session, you can simply wipe down the benches with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, use a soft brush and a solution of warm water and a cleaner specifically approved for sauna wood. Never use harsh chemical cleaners on the interior. It’s also a good practice to leave the door ajar after use to let the sauna air out completely.
