Sauna Session Detox Score Calculator

Estimate detox score, sweat efficiency, and optimize your heat therapy routine.

Input your sauna routine

Formula

Detox score = heatLoad (0-30) + durationScore (0-25) + frequencyScore (0-20) + hydrationScore (0-15) + cooldownScore (0-10), clamped to 0-100.

Sweat efficiency = (heatLoad + durationScore) × 0.8 + hydrationScore × 0.2.

Higher temperatures, longer sessions, regular frequency, and good hydration raise the score.

Steps

  • Log your typical sauna session duration and temperature.
  • Count how many sauna sessions you complete per week.
  • Estimate how much water you drink before entering (ml).
  • Note your cooldown time between rounds or after the session.
  • Review the detox score and recommendations to optimize heat therapy benefits.

FAQs

What does the detox score measure?

It estimates how effectively your sauna routine supports heat-induced sweating, circulation, and metabolic clearance based on session parameters and hydration.

Is higher temperature always better?

Not necessarily. 70–90°C (158–194°F) is a common effective range. Higher temps require shorter sessions and better hydration to avoid overheating.

How much should I hydrate before sauna?

Aim for 300–500 ml (10–17 oz) of water 15–30 minutes before entering. Avoid overhydration right before to prevent discomfort.

Do cold plunges affect the score?

They support recovery and circulation but are tracked separately. The calculator focuses on heat exposure and hydration patterns.

Can I use this for infrared saunas?

Yes, but infrared operates at lower ambient temps (45–60°C). Adjust temperature input to reflect the effective heat you feel.

How often should I sauna?

Most research suggests 2–4 sessions per week for general benefits. Daily use is fine if you tolerate it and maintain hydration.

What if I feel dizzy or nauseous?

Exit immediately, cool down gradually, and hydrate. Reduce session length or temperature next time. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

Does sauna help with muscle recovery?

Yes—heat therapy can reduce soreness and improve circulation. Pair with proper sleep and nutrition for best results.

Should I eat before sauna?

Light meals 1–2 hours before are fine. Avoid heavy meals right before to prevent digestive discomfort during heat exposure.

Can medications affect sauna safety?

Some medications (blood pressure, diuretics) can increase heat sensitivity. Consult your doctor before starting regular sauna use.
