THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR:

Do not plan on drinking a large amount of alcohol while using the sauna as this will further increase the effects of the heat on your body and your heart in a negative way.

Do not try and push yourself too hard, especially if you are a first-timer in the banya, because you will overheat and feel sick.

Do not eat a lot of food before entering the banya, as this directs a lot of blood toward your digestive track, while the heat directs heat to the outer shell of the body (i.e., your skin). Thus, the strain on your heart is very great because your blood cannot all be at your core and at your extremities at the same time.

Check with your doctor about using the banya’s facilities if you have any health problems whatsoever!
