6 Steps Use Your Home Sauna

Have you ever dreamed of installing your Finnish sauna right in the backyard of your home? It might be easier than you think. First, you need to research and have carpentry experience to create a safe and wonderful sauna haven in your home. Then, with some help from the sauna installation manual, you can build a safe and efficient sauna room for you and your family.

When you look through your home for the right location for your sauna, you may find that you have a beautiful backyard space that you can convert to a sauna retreat. Most sauna buyers choose DIY sauna kits that include everything to complete your sauna room. You must buy necessary sauna supplies like sauna buckets, ladles, thermometer and hygrometer, essential oil, sauna heater with control and rocks, etc.

If you buy a pre-designed sauna, you need to ensure that it is not smaller than the stud-to-stud wall and ceiling dimensions. Getting an exact fit is always lovely, but if you are unsure about the measurements, it’s better to buy a size larger and cut it to fit perfectly. Now you need to know how to take a sauna bath at your home.

6 Steps to Take a Sauna Bath at Home

Step - 1

Turn on your heater and ensure that the sauna room attains the right temperature between 150 degrees Fahrenheit and 170 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are a beginner at using the sauna, you should start from the lower end of this temperature range. After that, you can work your way up to the higher temperatures after taking sauna baths several times.

Step – 2

Remove all clothes except your swimsuit, eyeglasses, contact lenses, jewelry etc. Then, quickly shower with warm water soap or a quick dip in your pool or hot tub.

Step – 3

In the beginning, enter the sauna for around five to fifteen minutes. Then, bring a towel into the sauna, which you can use to sit or lay. As soon as you have started perspiring freely, leave the sauna room.

Step – 4

Now take a cold plunge in your swimming pool or shower. Then, relax and cool down for around ten to twenty minutes.

Step – 5

Enter the sauna room again. You must sprinkle a small amount of water onto the sauna stones to create steam bursts. If the water spills through the sauna heater and onto the floor, you use too much steam. This steam won’t affect the heater or the sauna.

Step – 6

Relax for around twenty minutes. Then, take a shower with warm water and soap. Rinse with cooler water to close your skin pores when you cool down completely; dress.

Important Note – No matter your sauna regimen, you should keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
