Before entering the sauna, take off your swimsuit.
You can cover your body with a towel for the duration of the session.
Remember your comfort and well-being first.
Regular sauna users may stay in the cabin longer, while newcomers will probably want to leave a bit earlier.
First, take a shower and dry yourself with a towel.
Dry skin sweats faster. A warm foot bath before the sauna will additionally stimulate sweating. You can pour warm water over your feet.
Set aside enough time for the sauna.
A full cycle lasts about 2 hours and is primarily intended for your relaxation. Rushing through the sauna will strain your body. You should not come to the sauna when you are hungry or with a full stomach.
In the sauna, spread a towel under your entire body.
The stay should be short - 8-15 minutes is enough. Spend the last 2 minutes in a sitting position to accustom your circulation to an upright posture.
After sauna, go out to the terrace, cool off in the fresh air - your body needs oxygen.
Only then cool down in the shower (it is best to pour water from head to toe).
After cooling down, a warm foot bath will create a blissful feeling.
This way, the temperature in the body is fully balanced. Reusing cold water strengthens the blood vessels and increases immunity.
Take a short break to rest.
This break should not be shorter than the sauna session. Be guided by your comfort.
Drinking is not recommended during sauna.
Drinking greatly reduces the effect of body cleansing.
Subsequent visits to the sauna should be the same as the first.
Three consecutive visits will be enough to achieve the desired health goals. The next ones will not result in an increase in the impact of the sauna on the body.
A sauna session is for physical relaxation and mental relief.
To maintain the healing properties, you should refrain from sports activities after and during sauna. However, a massage between sauna visits or immediately after them can further enhance its relaxing effect.
