Sauna

steam rooms?

is there any time limit on how long you stay in there and how many times a day should you use them.

1. I had a friend who used to be a jockey and he used to spend hours in one trying to lose weight. However, I think around 1.30mins is the max for one sitting. Also you need to drink fluids prior to going - and then take it easy when you come out. If in doubt ring up a local Health Club or Spa and ask them.
2. I know indian tribes steamed for 3 hours and more. They stayed in there so long and doused rocks with water to create steam and then have hallucinations. I know at spas they say you should stay in for about 1/2 an hour and then take a cold water plunge to get your blood circulated again. You could do that in alternations for about 5-6 times in a day. Make sure to drink lots of water! Maybe you could google swedish steam rooms. Pretty much everyone there has their own steam sauna, or go to the local indoor pool/sauna. They steam usually in the evenings, every day.
