I Visited an Urban Sweat Lodge — and This Is What Happened

You're going to sweat — a lot

Last 15 minutes At 40 minutes, the attendant returns with a cool, lavender-scented cloth to put on my forehead. I'm happy to have it as at this point I can feel beads of sweat dripping down my face and with my hands tucked into the blanket, I can only let them drip. My clothing is soaked and I can't wait to change into dry clothing. I know there are only 15 minutes left at this point, but the time goes by very slowly. At the 55-minute mark, the attendant returns and I'm so happy to see her. I'm cooked at this point — it looks like somebody dumped a bucket of water over me. She helps me out of the bed and I'm pleasantly surprised that I am not experiencing any head rushes or lightheadedness (the way saunas and jacuzzis can sometimes affect me). Next, we head to a final room to sit and enjoy some tea and orange slices while my body temperature returns to normal.
