Far Infrared Sauna (FIR) Info and Release Form
Drink plenty of water before, during and after your session. Adding electrolyte mix is recommended.
PRECAUTIONS
If any of the items listed below apply to you, be certain to consult with your physician before using the FIR sauna:



Medications
Cardiovascular conditions
Implants/Artificial Joints



Fever
Pregnancy/Menstruation
Recent Joint Injury



Alcohol
Chronic Conditions
Lotions/Chemicals
Medications
Exposure to infrared waves or elevated body temperature can possibly change the effect of prescription drugs.
Additionally, some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat
stroke. Some medications may lead to dizziness. Check with your personal physician or pharmacist before using the
sauna.
Lotions/Chemicals
Do not use chemicals or lotions prior to your session. These items may block pores and affect perspiration.
Fever/Pregnancy/Menstruation
Individuals who have a fever should not use the sauna until fever subsides. Pregnant women should consult their
physician before using an infrared sauna. Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual cycle may
temporarily increase their menstrual flow.
Alcohol
Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a
person’s judgment; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also
increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress.
Cardiovascular Conditions/Chronic Conditions
Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in an effort to transfer internal body heat outside via the skin
(perspiration) and respiratory system. Those with cardiovascular conditions should take caution when using the sauna.
Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated
with impaired sweating.
Individuals with a history or heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity or diabetes should have their blood pressure
monitored before and after each session.

Implants/Artificial Joints
Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated
by this system. Nevertheless, please consult your physician prior to using the sauna.

Joint Injury
If you have a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48 hours after injury or until swelling
subsides. If you have joints that are chronically hot and swollen, these joints may respond poorly to vigorous heating of
any kind.
*If at any time during your session you feel dizzy or light headed, get out of the sauna and inform spa
personnel immediately.
I have carefully read the above precautions for using the Far Infrared Sauna and Detox wrap. I fully understand and
assume the risks associated with these sessions and fully agree to comply with these instructions. I further agree to not
hold Dr. Judy Gianni or any spa employee responsible from personal or property injury which may result from these
sessions. This agreement is in effect for all Far Infrared sessions and will not expire unless requested by either party.
