The sauna cycle and its 3 phases
In contrast to an infrared cabin, the processes in a sauna are a lot more complex. Here you will find everything important to prepare and carry out your wellness treatment optimally. The sauna session is divided into 3 phases that build up and complement each other. The phase of warming, the phase of cooling and the resting phase. If you leave a step or get too much, the recovery effect is void and you risk circulatory problems. You should plan for 1-3 hours to heat up the cabin.
1. The warm -up phase
At the beginning, you should take a short shower to free the skin of sweat and dirt and prepare the body for the sauna temperatures. You go to the sauna undressed, with a towel and sit or lie down on the benches of different heights as you like. The further up you are, the higher the temperatures.
After a few minutes, the climax for most lovers begins in the sauna: the infusion! Here, a large amount of water is often poured into the stones with a trowel, which drastically increases the air humidity and the perceived temperature. Very often a sauna scent such as eucalyptus or spruce is buried in the water. After about 10 - 15 minutes you should leave the sauna.
2. The cooling phase
After the warmth, the cooling comes - an important step to cool the body down to normal temperature. In order not to overload your body and your cardiovascular system, we first recommend a little walk in the fresh air. Then you can shower yourself with lukewarm to cold water.
3. The resting phase
If your body has cooled down, you first need peace and relaxation. Take a good book and relax on a couch for 20 - 30 minutes. Also remember that you consume enough water. Because your body spoiled a lot. As soon as you are fit and ready to go, the next sauna session begins.
