➜ Pregnancy: Infrared saunas may elevate core body temperature, which could potentially harm fetal development.

➜ Cardiovascular Issues: Uncontrolled high or low blood pressure, recent heart attack, or other severe cardiovascular conditions. Those with pacemakers should consult their doctor due to potential electromagnetic interference.

➜ Heat Sensitivity or Heat Intolerance: Individuals with conditions like multiple sclerosis, lupus, or other heat-sensitive disorders.

➜ Fever or Acute Illness: Using a sauna while sick may strain the immune system further.

➜ Recent Surgery or Open Wounds: Heat can interfere with wound healing and exacerbate inflammation.

➜ Severe Dehydration: Those who are already dehydrated may be at risk for further dehydration or heat stroke.

➜ Alcohol or Substance Use: Alcohol and certain substances impair the body's ability to regulate temperature and increase dehydration risk.

➜ Chronic Conditions Exacerbated by Heat: Conditions like adrenal fatigue, hyperthyroidism, or kidney disease that affect temperature regulation or hydration.

➜ Medications: People taking medications that impair sweating, cause sensitivity to heat, or affect cardiovascular function (e.g., diuretics, beta-blockers) should seek medical advice.

➜ Children: Children under 12 should avoid infrared saunas as their bodies have difficulty regulating temperature.

➜ Metal Implants or Artificial Joints: Though generally safe, those with metal implants should consult a physician, as some types may heat up.

➜ Skin Disorders: Individuals with conditions like eczema or psoriasis that worsen with heat or excessive sweating.

➜ Severe Anxiety or Claustrophobia: People who struggle with enclosed spaces or extreme heat may find the sauna environment distressing.

➜ Epilepsy: The heat and light stimulation could trigger a seizure in some individuals.

➜ Hyperthermia-Prone Individuals: Those with conditions like anhidrosis (inability to sweat) or a history of heat stroke.
