Visiting
the sauna: basic rules
People
often wonder how to sweat out in a sauna and can they use a sauna broom? The
fact is that the air in the sauna is dry, in contrast to the bath. In such
conditions, you can not use a broom - this can lead to burns. Relaxation in the
sauna means a quiet inactivity and relaxation with periodic cooling.
Experienced visitors cool in a cold pool, and newcomers often have a shower
with slightly warm water.
We advise
starting with a rest on the lower shelf, then the body will gradually get used
to heating. In the first minutes you should take a horizontal position, so that
your legs and head are in the same temperature mode. If the thermae is equipped
with windows for a sauna, you should not open them during the procedures. It is
recommended to stay in the steam room for no more than 15 minutes per one step,
and the first session should be limited to 4-8 minutes. In total, the sauna is
allowed to stay no more than 3 hours a day.
Precautionary
measures
Before
visiting the sauna, you should not drink alcohol and eat a lot, but you should
not sweat out being hungry. You can not do a deep peeling and anti-cellulite
massage. Also it should be remembered that in the SPA sauna the procedures
should be carried out only during breaks in the steam room. It is undesirable
to go to the sauna immediately after the end of the sports training, let the
body cool down after an exercise session for at least 20 minutes. In the
intervals between visits to the steam room, be sure to drink clean water or
herbal decoctions to fill the deficiency of water in the body.

chronic illness during an exacerbation, fever, a tendency to thrombosis or bleeding,
