Sauna is a special form of warm-cold application and helps to relax body and mind. The cardiovascular system is stabilized and the immune system is strengthened. To help you get the most out of the sauna for your health, we have put together a few useful tips for you here.
– Large sauna towel
– Steam bath seat pad
-Towels
– Bathrobe and slippers
Take a thorough cleansing shower before taking a sauna.
Take a sauna undressed on a large sauna towel.
Only stay in the heat for as long as you feel comfortable – a maximum of 12 minutes.
Behave calmly during the sauna session.
After each warm phase, there is a longer cooling phase.
We recommend three rounds (3 warm-up and 3 cool-down phases). Further rounds do not bring any further health benefits and can lead to fatigue of bodily functions. Only if warm-up and cool-down phases are carried out in the right sequence will you achieve the health-promoting effects mentioned above.
Warm phase
It is better to take a sauna shorter but hot (middle or upper bench) rather than longer and less hot (lower bench). If you are taking a sauna lying down, sit upright for the last two minutes and move your feet to stimulate circulation.
Cooling-off phase
Two minutes in the fresh air serve to balance oxygen and stabilize the circulation. Then, starting with cold water from a hose or shower on the legs, rinse off the sweat and cool down. Never dive into the diving pool for a short time immediately after a sauna session. Guests with high blood pressure should avoid it altogether and choose other cold water treatments. A maximum ankle-high, lukewarm foot bath helps the body to release the absorbed heat again.
Rest
Allow yourself about 15 minutes of rest and drink enough water or diluted fruit juices to compensate for the loss of fluids.
Infusion
Every full and every half hour, 6 to 8-minute infusions are carried out in two of our saunas. By specifically increasing the humidity and air movement by waving, the desired heat input into the body can be favored and thus the sauna effect can be enhanced.
Restrictions
Children under 4 years of age are not allowed in the sauna area. Young people aged 16 and over are allowed to enter without being accompanied by an adult. You can find up-to-date infusion times in the signage in the sauna area or contact our staff.
