RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF THE SAUNA
- What to eat: in the sauna you should not have a full stomach or empty stomach. The ideal is to eat a light snack before, like a yogurt or fruit. A warm linden of or chamomile tea before the sauna will help you to sweat. You must drink after taking a sauna (never alcohol) but never during the sauna.
- Everything you need to bring: 2 towels, one to dry yourself after taking a shower or a dip and one for lying on the benches in the sauna and a robe in which to wrap yourself in while resting.
- You must remove all metal objects. Not only do they prevent you from sweating correctly but they can also cause burns. You should take a hot or warm shower and wash with soap before entering the sauna. This is not just for the sake of hygiene but it also opens the pores, prepares the skin and relaxes the muscles throughout the body. It is also important to dry yourself well before entering the sauna in order to be able to sweat correctly.
- First step in the sauna: enter the sauna wrapped in a cotton towel, sit or lie on the lower bench where it is least hot, later on you might like to switch to the middle or top benches where it is hotter. Your stay in the sauna should be from a minimum of 8 to a maximum of 12-15 minutes. Never get up from the benches in one rapid movement, always get up slowly.
- The next step is the shower. The shower always has to be taken with cold water. Hot water at this time would compromise your circulation whereas cold water would lower your body temperature back to normal and exercise the blood vessels, especially the capillaries. A tip: do not rush into the shower!
The shower should start from the body area furthest away from the heart, i.e. the right foot, and then proceed up the outside of the leg to the knee, down the inside, back up the outside of the leg again and then down once again. Repeat the procedure for the left leg, then the arms to the elbows, then to the shoulders, the chest and face and lastly the back. The whole procedure is very short and only takes a few seconds but it is necessary in order to benefit most from the treatment.
- Resting: now you are ready to rest. This stage is very important before entering the sauna again. Wrapped in your robe you can lie on a spa bed and cover up with a blanket if necessary.
The management declines all responsibility for problems or damage to persons caused by the non- observance of these rules and the incorrect use of the equipment provided.
