Types of saunas

Well, we chose our hotel with a sauna on the lake. We want to strengthen our immunity, improve the appearance of our skin, and de-stress in a pleasant place outside the city. You've come to a great place. In the hotel you will find more than one, or even several saunas. Choosing the right one depends on the goal we want to achieve? Saunas differ in temperature and humidity.

Major saunas include:

dry, Finnish sauna - air temperature 60 - 110 degrees Celsius, relative humidity 10-15%
sea sauna - air temperature 45-65 degrees Celsius, relative humidity 20-40%

Here's a quick rundown of the most popular and available saunas in hotels.

Steam sauna with aromatherapy

Sauning guarantees us relaxation and exhaustion of the body. However, however, a visit to a steam sauna with aromatherapy already offers us much more. It is an integral part of SPA&Wellness Institutes, we can find it in really good hotels. Why do we recommend you a sauna with aromatherapy?

It is a sauna realizing therapy with essential oils, which are characterized by antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, warming and relaxing properties. It all depends, of course, on the type of plants that were used in the production of a particular oil. For example, aromatherapy with lavender oil will bring us relaxation and relaxation, oil from eucalyptus and tea tree is recommended for people with oily skin, while therapy with rose oil will improve the appearance of the skin.

Suggestions are really quite a lot, so consult with your cosmetologist on the choice of oil just before visiting the sauna. A sauna session can be described as a therapeutic, relaxing treatment, in combination with aromatherapy it becomes a pleasant and health-promoting procedure.

Finnish sauna

In our opinion, this is the most health-promoting type of sauna and, in addition, the most common in hotel resorts. How does it differ from a steam sauna? In the Finnish sauna there is a very high temperature, it is achieved thanks to a stove with heated stones, which are poured with water.

Finnish sauna is especially recommended for people with bronchial asthma, back problems, circulation problems or joint problems. Thermal bath in the Finnish sauna, like all saunas, effectively cleanses the body of toxins, improves the efficiency of the body, strengthens immunity. Due to the prevailing very high temperature in the sauna (Finnish sauna has the highest temperature) it can be used only once a week.

Salt sauna

This type of sauna is most often found in resorts located by the sea or in so-called salt caves. A salt sauna is built of stone salt blocks (a dry sauna is wooden), rich in sea brine.

Therefore, visits to salt caves are recommended for people struggling with respiratory diseases. If you suffer from a runny nose, cough and hoarseness all year round, think about salt inhalations in a salt sauna. During the session you breathe in steam rich in iodine, salt or bromine. It's like a vitamin boost for our immunity. Regular visits to the salt sauna, will effectively protect us from illness in the autumn and winter.

Wet sauna

A wet sauna differs from a dry sauna in its high level of humidity. The steam that fills the sauna is obtained by pouring water over the stones in the oven.

The use of this sauna is recommended for people with problematic skin such as acne. Skin heated to as much as 40 degrees Celsius gets rid of toxins and impurities from the body. Sebaceous glands unblock and get rid of excess sebum. Remember that the sea sauna, like other saunas, relaxes, relaxes and improves your mood.

How to prepare for a visit to the sauna?

Of course, preparing for a visit to the sauna, you should start by knowing the contraindications, and there are really quite a few of them. If you are post-heart attack, pregnant or have problems with varicose veins, forgive yourself a visit to the sauna. If your health is failing or you suffer from chronic diseases, consult a specialist for a visit to the sauna. However, sauna, although health-promoting, is not for everyone. Remember moderation, the recommended dose is one - two visits per week.

Don't exceed the magic limit of 12 minutes per sauna session. A visit to the sauna should not exceed 40 minutes - i.e. 3 entries of about 12 minutes each. Prolonged sauna bathing can be dangerous for the body. Also remember not to enter the sauna when full or hungry. High temperatures, an empty stomach and fainting are ready. Before using the sauna, take a shower and wipe your body thoroughly. A body prepared in this way will improve the work of the glands, which have a very intense work ahead of them.
