We don’t set a strict age limit, but sauna use isn’t recommended for children, particularly under 12 … their bodies are still developing and can struggle to regulate temperature, which raises the risk of dehydration and overheating. Children should never be left unsupervised near a sauna, even when it’s not in use.
For healthy adults, a good session means checking the temperature is comfortable before you start, staying hydrated, and keeping sessions to around 20-30 minutes once you’re used to it … 5-10 minutes is plenty when you’re starting out. If you feel light-headed or uncomfortable, step out and cool down.
Anyone with an existing health condition, or in an older or younger age group, should check with a healthcare professional before starting regular sauna use.
