Tips for using the sauna
Stage 1 – Preparation
Treatments in the sauna should begin 1.5 – 2 hours after the last meal. Before entering the sauna, you should wash your body and dry it thoroughly. People with ‘cold’ feet should warm them with warm water. You should enter the sauna with a towel wrapped around the body. We recommend leaving your bathing suit in the locker room as using the sauna will then become safe and more effective. While in the sauna, do not lubricate the body or face with any creams, as this reduces the surface of the body that expels sweat.
Stage 2 – Warming up
Start from the lowest bench and gradually move up, depending on your mood. You should lie down on the bench, or sit with your feet bent on the towel (it should not occupy too much space so as not to restrict the circulation of warm air). To adapt the circulatory system to proper functioning in a standing position, it is advisable to take a sitting position with lowered legs in the last 2-3 minutes of staying in the sauna. Any changes in well-being, indicating an intolerance to sauna bathing, should be taken seriously, including discontinuation of further bathing. During your stay in the sauna, you must not administer liquids. It can only be done during rest.
Stage 3 – Cooling down
The higher the temperature in the sauna, the shorter we stay in it and the longer we cool down our bodies. To cool your body down, you should take a cold wet bath: take a shower, pour a stream of water, or immerse yourself in water. It is inadvisable to use soap. This stage is the greatest burden for the body.
Stage 4 – Rest
Physical exercise is not recommended during and after using the sauna. After warming up and cooling down, rest for about 20 – 30 minutes. It is advisable to drink mineral water or juices in moderate amounts. After rest, you are ready for the next cycle, i.e.: warming up, cooling down, and rest.
