1. Hydration is key for safety and session optimization. Proper hydration allows your body’s processes to work efficiently to maximize detox and cardiovascular  benefits. Bring a glass or metal water bottle to fill with water and trace minerals or electrolytes for before, during, and after your session
2. Take a quick warm shower before your session. This can speed up your sweat in an infrared sauna by opening the pores on your skin and relaxing your muscles. Think of it as a “warm up” for your session.
3.  Whole Body Cryotherapy or an Ice bath before your IR sauna session can increase the circulation of all the “fresh” blood that just was brought to you by the cold therapy. 
4. Dry Brush. Before your session, spend 3-5 minutes dry brushing to amplify your sweat. Dry brushing increases circulation, encouraging the detoxification process
5. Rinse off. Take a cool shower post sauna session to close pores. This will stop you from sweating and reabsorbing toxins you just released
