HOW TO TAKE SAUNA

To take a dry sauna treatment, good health conditions and a towel are necessary.
• Do not take sauna on a full stomach. Eat just some fruit and drink non-alcoholic beverages.
• Take a preliminary warm shower first. Wash and dry off thoroughly. This step is important to open skin
pores.
• Do not wear metal personal effects (watch, rings, necklaces, earrings, contact lenses, etc.) as they might
overheat or cause irritation.
• Enter sauna and rotate the hourglass. Stay seated or lie down in total relax for the suitable duration of
time: the perspiration effect will start after few minutes. Should heat be too high, position yourself initially
on lower benches, then move to the higher ones once being acclimated.
• A couple of minutes before exit, pour a ladle of water onto the stove stones. Water must not be too much,
but sufficient for evaporating immediately without "wetting" stones (approx.ly 100 ml); furthermore, it is
necessary to wait at least 10 minutes between an operation and the following one. A burst of heat will be
felt, increasing transpiration.
• After the max. set time has elapsed checking the hourglass, or at the early symptom of malaise or fatigue,
exit sauna.
• Complete the cycle with a warm or cold shower which permits to stimulate and rebalance the body. At the
end of shower, bathe your feet.
• Take a relaxing break lying down or sitting for some minutes, drinking refreshing and vitaminised bever-
ages.
• The procedure can be repeated by entering sauna again.

HOW TO TAKE THE COLD SHOWER

Cold shower is important to stimulate circulation of blood.
Using the low pressure shower, sprinkle on the right foot first, going up to the external part of knee, and then
go down along the internal part and return to foot.
Repeat the procedure, reaching the groin. Repeat the procedure on the other leg. Proceed then with arms fol-
lowing the same principle: with the first passage you go up to the elbow, subsequently to shoulder. Continue
with chest, face and finally back.
