Sauna ABC - Tips on taking a sauna …
1. Start off in a relaxed way, enjoy in a relaxed way. Don’t take a sauna when you are hungry or have a full stomach. The obligatory shower cleans you and is the prelude to at least two beneficial hours. |
 |
2. Remember: If you’re already wet, it’s not easy to sweat! So you should dry yourself thoroughly before going into the sauna. |
 |
| 3. A warm footbath helps you to relax and encourages sweating. |
 |
| 4. Place your sauna towel under the whole of your body and choose the middle or upper bench according to taste. The heat is the most intensive there. 10 minutes ought to be enough for the first time. But if you have already had enough, then trust your feelings and finish your sauna. Beginners above all should not underestimate the physical strain. |
 |
| 5. It is a known fact that you can relax better lying down. Give your circulation a chance to get used to being upright again slowly, and sit upright for around 2 minutes before you leave the sauna. |
 |
6. Now it’s time to get out into the fresh air and breathe deeply. Treat yourself and your body to the oxygen in the fresh, clean Soltau air. |
 |
| 7. Cold water is refreshing and cools you down. Taking a rinse with the hose will cool your body down gently. |
 |
8. If you are really brave, our cold water plunge pool awaits you. But the hose is recommended if you suffer from high blood pressure. In any event you should rinse your sweat off before using the plunge pool. |
 |
| 9. Let yourself be refreshed by the waterfall shower. Here too your body will be cooled down well. |
 |
| 10. Then it is time once again for sheer rest and relaxation. A warm footbath will warm you and make you feel good from top to toe. Time to dream or meditate. Enjoy the subsequent rest break, it is pleasant and also helps to revive you. |
 |
11. By the way, taking a sauna is the best way of preparing for a massage. Our trained massage staff will be pleased to make an appointment with you. |
 |
| 12. Use our solariums for example after taking a sauna. Escape from everyday life for a bit and stock up on “Caribbean” sunshine on our modern equipment. |
 |
| In the end … Now everything is working just that bit better – your head is clear, tensions are slowly being released, your body feels good all round. But the full effects will only develop after you have taken two more saunas. Simply start again from the very beginning – your body will thank you for it. And don't be surprised when you feel reborn after the third sauna … |
