Topic: How long should sauna session be?

I'm not sure how long to use a sauna for, once I get one.

Heat really bothers me. It really knocks me down so I'm wondering how long
I will be able to stay in a sauna, if at all.

Will I be able to stay in it long enough to get any benefit out of it and will I be able to use it in longer and longer sessions once I get used to it.

Anyone had a similar experience?

I hear you should start slow - with low heat, and low amount of time, and if you can handle that, increase both slowly to your tolerance level.

After I sweat, I always shower to wash off the sweated-out toxins.

My LLMD told me it also stimulates internal detoxing via bile flow.

I could only stay in the sauna five minutes at a time for the first couple of weeks.

Flash forward almost 3 months; I am up to 15 minutes about twice a week.

My LLMD suggested taking a Chlorella tab before the sauna to sop up toxins as they're being released.

I have tried it with the Chlorella twice now; I think it is doing something because I sweat more and have felt more herxy after the sauna than without the Chlorella.
