Detox is a vital part of staying healthy. Far infrared red sauna is the best as it penetrates deeply aiding organ detox and opening detox pathways. However, any form of sweating is hugely beneficial.
But isn’t it wild how you can do sauna sessions every week…
yet still deal with low energy, breakouts and bloating?
It’s not the sauna.
It’s the way you’re using it.
Your body can only detox properly when you follow the right order.
Here’s the exact step by step sauna protocol that finally makes sweating work for you instead of against you.
STEP 1: Pre Sauna Hydration
If you go into the sauna even slightly dehydrated, you won’t detox properly.
Your body literally cannot move waste when the cells are dry.
Drink this 45 minutes before:
• 500ml spring or distilled water
• Half a lemon squeezed in
• A pinch of sea salt
• 250ml coconut water for potassium
• 200mg magnesium glycinate
This hydrates your cells, supports your adrenals and stops dizziness, nausea or headaches later.
STEP 2: Take Binders Before You Sweat
When you heat up, toxins leave your tissues and go into the bloodstream.
Your liver dumps them into the gut.
Binders catch them so they actually leave your body.
Take this 20 to 30 minutes before:
• 1 tsp activated charcoal
• 1 tsp bentonite clay
• 1 tsp zeolite powder
• Mix with 300 to 400ml water
Use zeolite powder, not nano liquid.
Powder stays in the gut and grabs toxins properly.
If you use liquid nano zeolite, save that for AFTER the sauna. It works in the bloodstream, not the gut.
STEP 3: Move Your Body Before The Heat
Your lymph is your drainage system.
It has no pump.
If you sit still all day then jump in a sauna, detox is weak.
Before you get in, do:
• 3 to 5 minutes of light bouncing
• Deep nasal breathing
• A quick stretch to open your ribs and chest
This gets lymph moving and primes your body to release waste.
STEP 4: Use The Right Temperature
Too low and nothing happens.
Too high and you fry your nervous system.
Here’s the safe and effective range:
• Infrared: 55 to 65°C
• Finnish or steam: 75 to 90°C
New? Start lower.
You want a steady sweat, not suffering.
STEP 5: The Actual Sauna Session
This is all you need:
• 10 to 15 minutes inside
• Slow nasal breathing
• If you feel your heart rate spike, step out for 1 minute then return
• Total time: 15 to 25 minutes
You should feel warm and clear.
Not panicked. Not faint. Not shattered.
STEP 6: Shower Off The Sweat
Your sweat contains heavy metals, plastics, ammonia and chemicals.
Leaving it on your skin means reabsorption.
After the sauna:
• Take a lukewarm shower
• Rinse your whole body
• Avoid harsh soaps
• Use gentle exfoliation if your skin allows it
Get the toxins off your skin fast.
STEP 7: Replenish Minerals (The Most Important Part)
Sweating drains your sodium, potassium, magnesium and zinc.
If you skip this part, you’ll feel wiped out.
Drink this within 20 minutes after:
• 500ml water
• 10 to 15 drops of trace minerals
• A pinch of sea salt
• Optional: 200 to 400mg magnesium glycinate again
• Optional: 250ml coconut water if you sweat heavily
If you use liquid nano zeolite, this is when to take it.
It helps mop up toxins released into the bloodstream.
Eat fruit or a balanced meal within an hour to stabilise blood sugar and improve recovery.
STEP 8: Weekly Rhythm
This is where people overdo it.
For most people:
• 2 to 4 sessions per week
• Rest days between intense sessions
• Keep minerals high every day
• Never sauna completely fasted
Consistency > intensity.
This is how you use the sauna properly:
Hydrate.
Bind.
Move.
Heat.
Rinse.
Replenish.
Do it in this order and you’ll notice better sleep, clearer skin, higher energy and way less inflammation within a few weeks.
