How to get the most out of your sauna

A few simple rules for a relaxing sauna

Always have a shower before entering the sauna

Not only for hygienic reasons but also because a slightly warmed skin sweats more quickly. Dry off well as this will also improve the circulation. Use a large sauna towel to avoid contact with the wood. A dipper or two of water splashed over hot Sauna stones creates vapour that promotes perspiration to flush the pores. It also transforms the hot dry air into a comfortable moist atmosphere. Pour this scented water slowly over the hot stones and enjoy.

If it becomes unpleasant: get out at once!

With a sauna you’re doing both body and soul good. But only if you know your limits and respect them.

Short and intensive instead of long and half-hearted.

Sweat for 8 to 15 minutes. Stay in the sauna for as long as you enjoy it. You should spend the last two minutes sitting up in order to get the circulation used to an upright position.

IMPORTANT: Cooling off properly

Don’t have a shower straight after the sauna. Your body now needs oxygen, so cool off first in the fresh air.

You now need a break.

Before the next sauna session you should have a rest for at least 20 minutes.

Drink, drink, drink!
