  • Avoid drug use and the sauna — tranquilizers, stimulants, and other prescribed drugs alter the body's metabolism and could produce dour effects in the heat.
  • If you experience dizziness, problems with breathing, or a general feeling of ill health, leave the sauna immediately.
  • If you do decide to use the sauna, start gradually. Stay in only as long as you are comfortable, increasing the time with each visit.
  • Avoid dehydration by drinking water
