Unlocking Wellness: Discover the Benefits of a Therapeutic Sauna Session!
Sometimes it is hard to know when a sauna session is beneficial. Here are some examples of when to book a therapeutic sauna session:
- Before Exercise: Using a sauna before exercising can help warm up muscles and increase circulation, which may reduce the risk of injury during your workout.
- After Exercise: Saunas are great for post-workout recovery as they can help relax muscles and promote muscle recovery by increasing blood flow.
- End of Day: Many people enjoy using a sauna in the evening to unwind and de-stress after a long day. The heat can help relax both the body and the mind.
- Morning Rountine: Sauna sessions can be a regular part of a wellness routine to promote overall health. Some people prefer using the sauna in the morning to start the day feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
- Before Bedtime: Using a sauna before bedtime can help relax muscles and promote a deeper, more restful sleep for some individuals.
When deciding to use a sauna, it’s important to consider your own preferences, health status, and any recommendations from healthcare professionals. It’s also crucial to stay hydrated before, during, and after sauna use, and to listen to your body’s signals to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Once you have made the decision to use the sauna here are some tips for a rejuvenating and invigorating experience.
Pre-Sauna Preparation
- Hydrate Well: Drink plenty of water before your sauna session to ensure you stay hydrated. Water and tea are available at our facility.
- Light Meal: Have a light meal an hour before the session to keep your energy levels up without feeling too full.
- Shower: Take a warm shower to cleanse your skin and open up your pores.
During the Sauna Session
- Temperature Settings: Start with a moderate temperature and gradually increase it as your body acclimates. A typical range is between 150°F (65°C) and 195°F (90°C).
- Timing: Spend about 10-15 minutes in the sauna for your first session. Listen to your body and exit if you feel dizzy or uncomfortable.
- Breathing Exercises: Practice deep breathing to help relax and enhance the detoxification process.
- Essential Oils: Add a few drops of eucalyptus or lavender essential oil to the water for a soothing aromatherapy experience.
Between Sauna Sessions
- Cool Down: Step out and take a cool shower to refresh and close your pores. Repeat this process 2-3 times.
- Rest and Relax: Spend 5-10 minutes relaxing in a comfortable area. This helps your body adjust and enhances the benefits of the sauna. Our robes are available for modesty and comfort.
- Hydrate: Continue to drink water or herbal tea to stay hydrated.
Post-Sauna Care
- Rehydrate: Drink water with electrolytes or a refreshing coconut water to replenish lost minerals.
- Moisturize: Apply a hydrating lotion or body oil to nourish your skin after the sauna.
- Light Snack: Enjoy a light snack rich in vitamins and minerals, such as fresh fruit or nuts.
