For women under 40 there is little difference in optimal health benefits when compared to men. Over the age of 40, many factors affect our comfort level in the sauna; for women hormones especially can be a problem. A maximum of 18 minutes is advised.
Over 60s: As we get older, the risks increase and the length of time our body will accept the heat changes decreases. People over 60 should not spend more than 9 minutes in the sauna, especially without a doctors consent.
