What you need to know before going to the sauna

Sauna can bring us many benefits, such as promoting blood circulation, relieving fatigue, and reducing stress. At the same time, there are also many precautions for sauna. 

Only by using the sauna correctly can we better experience it and enjoy its effects.

Can you wear contacts in a sauna？

It is generally not recommended to wear contact lenses to the sauna room. The sauna room is usually a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, which can easily

 damage contact lenses and harm the eyes. Here are the potential hazards that sauna may cause to the eyes:

1. Deformation: The high-temperature and high-humidity environment in the sauna room can cause contact lenses to absorb moisture, resulting in loss of breathability and 

deformation of the lenses, damaging the material of the lenses.

2. Impaired vision: The steam in the sauna room may cause water vapor to form on the surface of contact lenses, affecting vision and causing blurred vision, which can lead to accidents.

3. Loss of breathability: The high temperature environment of the sauna may cause structural changes in contact lenses, thereby destroying the breathability of the lenses.

4. Discomfort: The high-temperature environment of the sauna may cause dryness and other discomfort in the eyes. Wearing contact lenses for a long time can cause 

dryness, and the sauna environment can accelerate this phenomenon, causing discomfort to the eyes.

5. Bacterial infection: The sauna room is in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, which is prone to bacterial growth. Wearing contact lenses may increase 

the risk of bacterial eye infections.

Overall, the disadvantages of wearing contact lenses to the sauna outweigh the benefits. Therefore, it is not recommended to wear contact lenses to the sauna room to 

avoid unnecessary harm and to maintain the enjoyment of the sauna experience.

Can a sauna kill the flu virus

The high-temperature and high-humidity environment of a sauna room may be able to kill some bacteria and viruses, but not all bacteria and viruses can be completely

 eliminated. The influenza virus is one that tends to weaken in activity when temperatures and humidity are higher, so it's possible that the influenza virus could be partially 

eliminated in a sauna room. However, the specific effectiveness depends on factors such as the virus's tolerance, type, and quantity. The high-temperature and high-humidity 

environment of a sauna room may not necessarily completely kill the influenza virus. Additionally, this environment can also promote the growth and rapid reproduction of 

other bacteria and viruses, increasing the risk of infection and potentially affecting the effectiveness of influenza virus elimination. Since a sauna room may not completely

 kill the influenza virus, we should take preventive measures from other safe and effective aspects, such as maintaining good personal hygiene habits and washing hands frequently.

What is a private sauna?

A private sauna is a sauna facility installed in a personal residence or private location, typically for individual or family use. When using a private sauna, attention should 

be paid to the following points:

1. Safety: Private saunas should be used according to the instructions to ensure safety and correctness. Additionally, private saunas should comply with relevant safety

 standards such as electrical safety and fire safety to prevent accidents.

2. Regular cleaning and maintenance: Regular cleaning of the sauna is necessary to ensure hygiene and prevent the growth of bacteria, viruses, and mold. Regular

 maintenance and inspection of sauna equipment ensure its proper functioning and prolong its lifespan.

3. Appropriate duration: Sauna sessions should be planned reasonably to prevent discomfort from prolonged exposure.

4. Hydration: It's important to replenish fluids during sauna use to prevent dehydration and dry skin.

5. Health condition: Sauna duration should be determined based on one's own physical condition. During sauna sessions, it's important to monitor one's health and

 leave the sauna immediately if feeling unwell. Moreover, individuals with cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, respiratory diseases, etc., are advised against using 

saunas to avoid potential harm to their health.

How long do sauna stones last？

The lifespan of sauna stones is influenced by various factors such as materials, quality, and frequency of use. Sauna stones are typically made of quartz or other heat-resistant 

materials, offering excellent heat resistance and durability. To prolong the lifespan of sauna stones, proper maintenance is recommended. It's also advisable to avoid

 prolonged use of sauna stones to prevent structural damage in continuous high-temperature environments. After sauna sessions, sauna stones should not be quickly

 removed from the sauna room to prevent physical damage due to drastic temperature changes. Generally, the lifespan of sauna stones can be maintained for several 

years or even longer. Regular cleaning, removal of dust and dirt, and inspection for damage and wear can help extend the lifespan of sauna stones.

What do sauna stones do?

Sauna stones play a crucial role in the sauna experience, including:

1. Temperature Increase: Sauna stones absorb and store heat, continuously providing warmth to the sauna room. They evenly distribute heat throughout the sauna

 room, creating a comfortable temperature environment for sauna users.

2. Humidity Increase: When sauna stones reach a certain temperature, the moisture on their surface evaporates into steam, increasing the humidity in the sauna

 room and enhancing the sauna experience and comfort.

3. Steam Generation: Water is typically poured onto sauna stones in the sauna stove, generating abundant steam. This steam promotes blood circulation, relaxes 

muscles, and cleanses the skin.

The heat and steam generated by sauna stones enhance the comfort and experience of sauna, making it more enjoyable and relaxing. Sauna stones play a significant 

role in sauna by not only boosting the steam effect but also providing users with a better sauna experience.

What is an electric sauna heater?

Sauna electric heaters are commonly used heating devices installed in sauna rooms. These heaters typically transfer heat to sauna stones or other heating elements

 using electricity, thereby heating the air temperature inside the sauna room. The heating elements are the core components of electric heaters, transferring the

 generated heat to the air for heating. Electric heaters also feature temperature control systems to adjust the temperature inside the sauna room to meet users'

 different needs. For safety purposes, electric heaters are equipped with various safety features such as overheat protection, overload protection, and leakage protection

 to prevent accidents during sauna sessions. Due to their convenient installation, ease of use, and rapid heating advantages, sauna electric heaters are widely utilized 

in the sauna industry. By providing stable temperature and humidity to sauna rooms, electric heaters enhance users' sauna experience and comfort.
