How to use a sauna

1.   In general, you need 2 hours, 2 large towels (1 to dry yourself, 1 to lie down on), bathing shoes and soap.
2.   Always take a shower before using the sauna - for hygienic reasons and to remove the greasy film on your skin, which delays the sweating process.
3.   You have to be dry when going into the sauna (wet skin prevents sweating).
4.   It’s recommended to prepare yourself for the heat with a warming foot bath (3-5 minutes).
5.   Please be quiet inside the sauna.
6.   Please always sit or lie on a large enough towel (so that there is enough room for your feet).
7.   In case you lie down in the sauna, you should sit up straight for the last 2 minutes and play with your legs to enhance your blood circulation so that the blood doesn’t drop down in the lower body and cause vertigo.
8.   Don’t force yourself to stay. As soon as you feel unwell, leave the sauna immediately. Your health is always the most important thing.
A sauna bath takes between 8 and 12 minutes, 15 minutes maximum. After that time you should leave the sauna.
9.   After the sauna, go into the fresh air for app. 2 minutes to fill up on oxygen and to cool your lungs.
10.   Always take a shower after a sauna round and before using the cold water bath.
11.   To achieve an effect for your health, the cooling process through fresh air and cold water should be strong enough.
12.   After cooling down, it would be good to take a warming foot bath. At the same time, the rest of the warmth inside the body is dissipated and therefore causes the body to cool down. Additionally, this prevents a cold. A warming foot bath in ankle-high water keeps the body from sweating afterwards.
13.   You can use the different relaxing areas for a rest.
14.   Altogether, you should not take more than 3 sauna baths.
