The benefits of using a sauna are numerous and affect both physical and mental health. Here are some of the main benefits:
However, it is worth remembering that using a sauna requires certain precautions, such as avoiding staying in it for too long and taking care of proper hydration of the body. People with certain medical conditions should consult a doctor before starting regular sauna sessions.
1. You cannot enter the sauna hungry or with a full stomach.
2. Before entering the sauna, you should thoroughly wash and wipe dry. All cosmetics applied to the body, make it difficult to excrete sweat. Jewelry must be pulled off.
3. We use the sauna naked, wrapping ourselves only with a towel.
4. The sauna session should be started with benches located below. It is best to lie on a bench so that the whole body is on the same level. The position should be comfortable, providing complete relaxation. After a few minutes we can change to a bench higher, where it is warmer. Bathing in the sauna should not last more than 30-40 min in three time portions 12-15 min with breaks of 6-12 minutes for a cold bath.
5. After getting up from a lying position, wait 1-2 minutes in a sitting position to prevent sudden outflow of blood from the brain (which may result in fainting).
6. Take the shower alternately with warm and cold water starting from head to toe. Alternating showers after a hot session in the sauna improves our circulation and strengthens the body's immune system.
7. Drinks should also be taken in moderate amounts to make up for water and mineral salts deficiencies lost during laceration.
8. For additional hyperemia of the skin, you can use birch dusters with which we lightly hit the body.
9. During the sauna, you should avoid loud conversations and laughter to maintain the atmosphere of calm and relaxation.
10. After leaving the sauna, we should lie down and rest for about 15 minutes.
