The sauna is of Finnish descent. This tradition came from the north, back over 2000 years. Originally, the sauna was a small cabin built before the house itself. Today, Finland is found everywhere, in homes, hotels, businesses....
Its benefits are many: it calms nerves; helps relieve stress and eliminate muscle tension. From a medical point of view, the virtues of the sauna on the heart have been numerous studies demonstrating the beneficial effect of this treatment on blood circulation and skin.
But the sauna, what is exactly?
In fact, today, the sauna is made of a sort of wooden hut, inside of which is a stove, heated by electric heaters, and covered with lava rocks. The resistors heat the stones, which by their radiation emit considerable heat, which itself are spreading throughout the sauna ...
The air is dry in the sauna. This is not a steam bath.
So here is sauna user guide!
Above all, remember that you will enter a place where there is high heat. Before entering the sauna, take a shower and you dry (do not wet!). Install on a bench (after he'd put a towel for hygiene!) And wait to start sweating. If you enter a sauna for the first time, remember this basic principle: heat rises. So the more you sit, the more you warm. It's silly, but you have to think about it.
The sauna is practiced naked, a towel around his waist. It is therefore unnecessary and strongly urges you not to wear clothes, even if they are supposed to let perspiration escape. Also, remember to remove your necklaces, bracelets, indeed, the high heat generated will make you sweat, but it will also heat all the accessories you wear, and you might get burnt. Do not enter either a book or a newspaper! The fumes of ink that will be released could be toxic.
You can start by installing the highest possible, on a bench, and if the heat becomes too hard to bear, sit down a little lower.
After 10 to 15 minutes of this treatment, take a cool shower out. Finns roll in the snow. If you do not have a lot of snow on hand, a cold shower will do. The first time you worry, it's almost impossible. The feeling is terrible. Then gradually as you get used to, and the cold shower becomes a real pleasure.
After this relaxing shower, go back into the sauna and try to repeat the same cycle two more times, in all, a meeting of about 30 to 45 minutes.
You'll often see near the stove, a bucket of water and a ladle. From time to time, pour a ladle of water on the lava rocks. You immediately feel a hot flash, rather pleasant. Caution, do not pour all the bucket in one go!
So, you have to take your first sauna bath. If you can, repeat the experiment 2 to 3 times per week. Often, sports clubs are equipped with a sauna. Feel free to enter, but do not forget your towel.
