Spa experiences provide numerous health benefits and are a source of enjoyment and relaxation. To make the most of your time in the sauna or steam bath, follow these guidelines:
1. Take Your Time: Ensure you have enough time to relax and enjoy the experience fully. A proper sauna or steam bath session typically lasts around 2 hours. Rushing defeats the purpose of the experience.
2. Get Comfortable: Whether sitting or lying down, make sure you’re comfortable. In the sauna, place a towel underneath you. The first session should be about 10-15 minutes, but listen to your body. Stay longer if it feels right, or leave early if you feel the need.
3. Optimize Your Sweat: To sweat more quickly, start your sauna session by sitting or lying on the middle or highest benches.
4. Cooling and Rest: After sufficiently warming up, take a break. Cool down with a cold shower, plunge pool, or a session in the Ice Cave. Then, warm your feet in foot baths or walk through a Kneipp Path to trigger another round of sweating. Only after this should you return to the sauna or steam room for another session.
By following these simple steps, you’ll enhance your relaxation and maximize the health benefits of your spa treatments.
Enjoy your wellness journey!
