Sauna use involves spending time in a heated, dry or humid room, commonly between 70–100°C (160–212°F) depending on the tradition and equipment. Many people use saunas for relaxation, socializing, or post-exercise routines. Sessions are usually brief, with cool-down periods and hydration emphasized as part of the practice.
Different styles - Finnish dry sauna, steam rooms, and infrared units - differ in humidity and heat delivery. Personal tolerance, session length, and frequency are typically adjusted over time. Individuals often pay attention to hydration, temperature cues, and overall comfort when incorporating heat sessions into weekly habits.
