"Those you do not care for their health on a daily basis

are supposed to spend a lot of time for their diseases"

(Sebastian Kneipp)

~ Finnish Sauna ~

The increasing of the body’s temperature up to 39° C during the sweating (artificial fever) does the same job as real fever does, namely it destroys the pathogenic organism due to high temperatures.

The sequence of heat with the subsequent cold bath relaxes muscles and is next to some physiological effects such as lowering blood pressure, stimulate circulation, metabolism, immune and respiratory above all, a beneficial effect on your subjective well-being.

Sauna bathing is also used in skin care and to slow down the aging process. Immediately after entering the sauna room, the skin reacts, the blood vessels dilate, circulation increases and the surface temperature rises in an approximately 15-minute stay to 40-42 ° C; the cooling causes blood vessels to narrow again by cold water applications (training vessel).

The sweating and the repeated water treatments also cause a very thorough but gentle cleansing body; the highest stratum of the skin swells up, loosens dead skin cells and can be easily rinsed off. For very dry skin, the structure is improved through the activation of sweat glands and water retention in the horny layer.
