What is the 200 Rule When Using a Sauna?

The "200 rule" is a guideline for the sauna and how to enjoy it safely. It's the sum of the temperature in Fahrenheit and time in minutes not to exceed 200. That is, if your sauna is at 180F, you must limit your session to 20 minutes. The approach brings a balance in heat exposure and safety, hence the comfort and benefits of taking a sauna.
