For a successful sauna, two-three intervals are suggested, respectively of 5-10-15 minutes. The fitting temperature for the perspiration would reach 80°C.

Prevent dizziness by getting up slowly from the bench.

Once out of the sauna, have a shower with room-temperature water in order to reach the regular body warmth.

After that the rest time: wrap yourself in your bathrobe and lie down on the bed, from 10 to 15 minutes.

Finally go back in the sauna for the second interval – around 10 minutes – and follow the procedures already explained. After that your skin will be softer and suppler: a moisturizing body lotion will end your treatment.

You can have a snack with yogurt and fruits. A warm herb tea (have it before the sauna) facilitates sweating. At the end of the treatment alleviate thirst with fruit juice, tisanes and water and avoid alcoholic drink.

It is important to drink.
The sweating helps to expel liquids and mineral salts from the body: as consequence it is of prime importance to restore all lost liquids.

Drinks with sugar, stimulants and alcohol are not recommended either before and after the sauna treatment.

Among indicated drinks are spring water, raspberry, mallow, nettle and lime tisane, fruit or vegetable juice.
