In addition to cleansing our skin of toxins and providing relaxation, dry sauna also brings many health benefits. Those aiming to lose weight will be interested to know that during one session, we burn approximately 300 kcal. Furthermore, it improves heart function, supports blood pressure regulation, and enhances circulation
Sessions in the dry sauna usually last from 8 to 12 minutes, and the maximum time one can spend in it is 15 minutes. After the session, it's best to take a short, cold shower, then thoroughly dry off, take a moment to rest, and return to the sauna. Such sessions are repeated two or three times. After the last session, it's important to rinse thoroughly with clean water, without using soap or gel, and thoroughly dry the entire body and hair. You can apply oil to the skin. After using the sauna, it's good to lie down and rest for about 15-20 minutes; it is also recommended to drink 1 liter of water. It's important to remember that after a sauna session, physical exertion should be avoided for some time.
Just like in the case of a steam sauna, it is necessary to bring a towel to the dry sauna. If you are in the sauna in a lying position, remember to get up slowly and, before leaving, sit for a moment to allow your circulation to normalize. Getting up too quickly can cause dizziness.
Dry sauna - temperature.
Sauna sucha charakteryzuje się znacznie wyższą temperaturą od sauny parowej. Średnio panuje w niej od 85 do nawet 120°C, a wilgotność powietrza wynosi od 5 do 15%. Takie warunki osiąga się dzięki specjalnemu piecowi, którym nagrzewa kamienie oddające ciepło. Sauna fińska zazwyczaj wyłożona jest w środku drewnem z jodły kanadyjskiej lub cedru.
