After a work out, how long can one stay in a steam bath or sauna without doing harm with one's health?

and is it safe to go to sauna and/or steam bath after a work out? let's say 5x a week?
Answer:
Recommended at no more than 20 minutes. But that often, I would only do 15. Be sure to fully hydrate yourself before AND after!
Well, I know you arent sup to stay in a hot tub for more than 15 minutes, so its probably along those lines.
No more than 15 - 20 minutes and make sure to stay hydrated.
Also, don't forget to stretch.
