General information about sauna use. If you have health concerns, consult your doctor about whether it is suitable for you.
What are the benefits of sauna use?
A Finnish sauna helps with sleep problems
Time in the sauna releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones that support a positive mood. This is one reason sauna bathing has a marked effect on the autonomic nervous system. A Finnish sauna can, for example, help you sleep well afterwards. Sauna bathing also relieves migraine pain, leaves you feeling refreshed and calm, and eases feelings of anxiety, nervousness, restlessness and loss of appetite.
Regular sauna bathing also supports physical performance, particularly on the following day. This makes it very popular with athletes. Endorphins, the feel-good hormones, also help relieve some joint and muscle pain or breathing difficulties.
How should you use the sauna?
Before entering the sauna, wash thoroughly with soap. The usual practice is to enter without clothing, which is considered best for the release of toxins from the body. It is also advisable to remove all jewellery and watches. In the sauna, sit or lie on a towel or sheet (use a towel under your feet too; good hygiene is very important). Lying down is recommended, as it allows your muscles to relax fully. The recommended sauna session is about 15 minutes, or roughly 5 - 10 minutes for children.
After leaving the sauna, first splash your face with water using your hands. To begin with, you can skip cooling down in the shower or snow. Once you feel properly cooled down, you can return to the sauna. Repeating the whole cycle three times is recommended: three rounds of warming up and three of cooling down.
Early evening is the ideal time to visit the sauna, and once a week is often considered the recommended frequency. In half an hour, you can sweat out about half a litre of water. This will naturally show as a drop in weight, but you will soon replace these fluids. It does not reduce body fat.
PLEASE NOTE!
Sauna use is not suitable if you have a viral infection, inflammatory illness, cardiovascular disease or fever, after a large meal or on an empty stomach, when thirsty, or after exhausting exertion. It is also unsuitable after drinking alcohol, which can disrupt the body's normal responses. Sauna bathing is not for everyone. If you have any doubts about whether it is suitable for your state of health, consult your doctor.
