Can kids use the sauna?

Generally, it is not recommended for kids to use the JNH Lifestyles sauna without adult supervision and medical advice. Children have different thermal regulation compared to adults, which can put them at risk for overheating.

If parents choose to allow their children in the sauna, it’s vital to ensure they are older than the age of 6 and closely monitor their time inside. A common guideline is to limit sessions for kids to no longer than 10-15 minutes at a time.

For example, a parent may choose to spend a few minutes in the sauna with their child, keeping the session short and observing how their child responds to the heat. It’s also important to allow the child to exit if they show any signs of discomfort.

Pro Tip: Educate your child about listening to their body and the importance of exiting the sauna if they feel hot or dizzy.

Consideration: Always consult your pediatrician before introducing sauna use to children, especially if they have underlying health conditions.
